UNDERSTAND ROOF REPAIR COSTS BEFORE YOU BUY
Purchasing a property is a significant financial commitment, and unexpected roofing problems can lead to additional costs after completion. At Stuart & Moffat Roofing Contractors, we provide professional pre-purchase roof surveys across Edinburgh, East Lothian and Midlothian, helping buyers understand a property's roof condition before committing to a purchase. With over 20 years of roofing experience, our fully insured team assesses visible roofing defects, provides photographic evidence where appropriate and prepares estimates for recommended repairs or replacement work. Whether you're considering a traditional Edinburgh tenement, a period property or a modern family home, a roof inspection can help you identify potential issues, plan for future maintenance and make a more informed decision.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN A PRE-PURCHASE ROOF SURVEY?
Our pre-purchase roof surveys are designed to give prospective buyers a clearer understanding of the visible condition of a property's roof. Depending on the property and access available, we assess accessible roofing areas for signs of damage, deterioration and defects that may require further investigation or repair. Inspections may cover roof coverings, chimney flashing, leadwork, roof valleys, ridges and other vulnerable areas. Where appropriate, we provide photographic evidence and estimates for recommended roofing work. The scope depends on the roof type, accessibility and property condition. A roofing survey focuses on the roof and does not replace a full building survey or structural assessment. Our team can explain visible concerns and discuss suitable next steps before you proceed with your purchase.
ROOF INSPECTIONS FOR EDINBURGH TENEMENTS AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
Roofing requirements vary between property types. Older Edinburgh properties and traditional tenements may feature slate roofs, chimney stacks and lead flashing, while modern homes can also develop problems with roof coverings, junctions and weatherproofing. Stuart & Moffat Roofing Contractors can identify visible roofing concerns and provide estimates for recommended work where appropriate. If you're buying a tenement flat, checking the property's title, factoring arrangements and shared repair responsibilities can help you understand how future roof maintenance costs may be allocated. Inspection findings and repair estimates can also help you plan for potential expenditure and discuss significant issues with your solicitor or the seller. We cover Edinburgh, East Lothian and Midlothian, helping prospective buyers make better-informed decisions about the properties they are considering.

Thank you for the excellent service and outstanding workmanship. The job was completed to a very high standard, on time, and with great attention to detail. Communication throughout the process was clear and professional. I’m extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend your services.

Prompt efficient service, knowledgeable and friendly workmen and a good, clean finish. My request was for replacing a metal gutter under pantiles, which I suspect in the roofing world is a small but complex piece of work that many contractors would avoid. Stuart and Moffat were prompt in supplying a quote with options and when asked to book the work in, were very quick to complete the job to a high standard.

5 star service from these guys every time. Had many small jobs done over the years and always perfect. Would recommend them to anyone.

Stuart and Moffat replaced three large Velux windows for me and they made an excellent job. Windows look amazing. The staff were excellent, very friendly and professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend.
Great service from Stuart & Moffat roofers. They quoted us promptly, returned all calls and messages very quickly. Turned up on time and did the job thoroughly and professionally. Everything left neat and clean when they left. Over and above this, a really friendly bunch of guys, who were happy to talk me through the process and go above and beyond to help.
A completely different experience compared to some other roofers I've dealt with - would highly recommend them to anyone needing work done.
