What we look for on a Edinburgh storm damage roof survey
Slipped and missing tiles
The obvious one — but from above we can also see the tiles that have lifted and dropped back out of line.
Lifted ridges and verges
Failed ridge mortar and brittle dry verges are the most common storm casualties on Scottish roofs.
Torn flashings and lead
Chimney and abutment flashings peeled back by wind, which let water in long before anything looks wrong indoors.
Gutter and fascia damage
Sections pulled off their brackets, blocked outlets and debris left in valleys after high winds.
Why Edinburgh roofs need a closer look
Slate, lead and stone
Older Edinburgh roofs fail at the details — slipped slates, split lead, cracked cope stones. Close-up aerial shots catch them early.
Listed and tenement buildings
No scaffolding needed, so there's nothing to agree with a conservation officer or a stair full of owners.
Box gutters and hidden valleys
The parts of the roof you can never see from the street are the parts that cause the damage. We photograph them all.

Edinburgh storm damage roof survey questions
How much is a storm damage roof survey in Edinburgh?
£99 for a residential property in Edinburgh and £149 for a commercial one. That is a fixed price — no call-out charge, no scaffolding hire and no extra for awkward or high roofs anywhere in EH postcodes.
Which parts of Edinburgh do you fly?
All of EH postcodes (EH), including New Town, Leith, Morningside and the surrounding villages. Enter your postcode on the booking form and it will confirm coverage before you pay.
How quickly can you get to me?
Usually within a few working days, weather permitting — we can't fly safely in high winds or heavy rain, so we book the first suitable window. You choose a preferred date and an AM or PM slot and we call to confirm.
How quickly can you survey after a storm?
Usually within a few days, weather permitting — we can't fly safely in high winds or heavy rain, so we book the first suitable window.
Do you do the repairs as well?
No. We are independent surveyors, which means our report describes what we found rather than what we'd like to sell you. You take it to whichever roofer you choose.
