Roof Repairs in Falkirk

Yes — Scottish slate is one of the dominant roof coverings across Falkirk, since it has been the traditional choice on the town's older streets for generations. Roofers in our network know how to source matching stone, rather than a generic tile that would stand out.

Storm Arwen brought high winds to central Scotland in 2021. Falkirk's exposed setting meant many roofs lost tiles or slate as a result. If you have not had yours checked since, read our guide to storm damage and book an inspection.

Nationally, small repairs such as refitting a handful of slipped tiles typically run £150–£400, while larger patch or valley repairs fall between £400–£1,200. A local roofer should inspect your roof before confirming a price, since access and materials both change the final cost.

Small repairs such as refitting a handful of slipped tiles typically run from £150–£400. Rebedding ridge tiles, valley repairs or larger patch repairs usually fall between £400–£1,200, depending on access and materials. Since prices vary so much with access and materials, a local roofer should always inspect before quoting a fixed price.

Common signs are visibly slipped, cracked or missing tiles, and damp patches on upstairs ceilings after rain. Also watch for granules or mortar fragments in your gutters, and daylight visible in the loft. If you can see any of these, get it inspected before winter weather makes it worse.

If the problem is localised — a few tiles, one valley, a ridge line — a repair is almost always the right call. If the underlay has failed across large areas, or the same roof keeps failing in different places, a roofer may recommend re-roofing. They should show you photos explaining why.

A good roofer matches tile or slate type, size and colour. They can often source reclaimed materials for older properties, so the repaired patch weathers in. Mention the age of your roof when you make your request.
