"On the roofs since 1988, out on my own from 1994. No sales patter — I look at the job, tell you what it needs, and get it done. Half of this job's done from the back of the van anyway."
See the difference we make
Real jobs across Edinburgh — from full re-slates to chimney rebuilds and lead detail work.
Full Re-Slate — Edinburgh Tenement
Aged slate stripped back and renewed course by course, felt and battens fitted fresh throughout — scaffold up for the full job, not just the photo.
Chimney Stack Rebuild
Sandstone stack rebuilt and repointed, new chimney cans fitted and capped — sound for another hundred years, not just patched over.
Lead Valley & Flashing
New lead dressed into the valley and around the chimney base — the detail that stops a roof leaking at the joins.
Aerial Roof Survey — Drone Inspection
Every free inspection includes a full drone pass over the roof — the whole property, every slope and valley, no ladders and no guesswork about what's actually up there.
What our customers say
"Storm took half the slates off the back roof in one night. Redpath had someone out the next morning, temporary sheeting up before the next lot of rain hit. Full repair done within the week."
"Got quotes from four roofers for a full re-slate. Redpath's was the only one that didn't try to upsell me on things I didn't need. Straightforward from start to finish."
"Chimney was leaning after the winter storms. They rebuilt it properly instead of just repointing it and hoping. Two years on, still solid."
