J. Shearer
ROOFING CONTRACTOR — GLASGOW, SCOTLAND

Thirty years on
Glasgow roofs.

We are a family-run roofing firm with offices in Muirend and Jordanhill, recently expanded into Ayrshire. For over 30 years we have looked after roofs across the city's Southside and West End.

Repairs, full new roofs, roughcasting, gutters — for homes and businesses. Most of our work comes from repeat customers and word of mouth, and we intend to keep it that way.

We are NFRC approved contractors, on the East Renfrewshire and Renfrewshire Council Trusted Trader scheme. Every job starts with a proper look and a fixed written price.

The work, by the job

Three kinds of work make up most of our diary. Here is what each one actually involves.

Storm repairs

Wind-lifted slates, torn flashing, water finding its way in. We make it watertight first, then do the permanent fix — with photos and an insurance-friendly report if you need one.

Rapid responseTemporary weatherproofingPhoto reports

Full re-roofs

Strip to the timbers, breathable membrane, treated battens, new slates or tiles, fresh leadwork and bedded ridges. A roof built to outlast the mortgage, not just the guarantee.

Slate & tileLeadworkWritten guarantee

Roughcasting

A Glasgow staple. Fresh roughcast keeps driving rain out of solid walls and transforms tired-looking houses. Often paired with roofline work while the scaffold is up.

Questions we hear a lot

How much does a roof repair cost?
Most minor repairs land between £150 and £400. A slipped slate sits at the lower end; anything needing scaffolding costs more. Fixed price before we start. (sample figures)
How long does a new roof take?
Most domestic re-roofs take 3 to 5 working days. Larger or complex roofs can take a week or two — your quote includes a schedule.
Do you work in bad weather?
Safety comes first. Light rain is fine, high winds are not. The roof is left watertight if we pause.
Are you qualified and insured?
Yes — NFRC approved contractors with fully qualified tradespeople, on the East Renfrewshire & Renfrewshire Council Trusted Trader scheme.
Do you give free quotes?
Yes, free with no obligation. Call (555) 010-2030 or use the form above.
