L & E Roofing Contractors

L&E have checked maintained the roof on a 200yr old property in Edinburgh twice annually for many years and have been utterly reliable. In particular Colin has only rarely ever suggested that additional work involving payment was needed - meaning that the check up, whilst not cheap, is good value for money.
When additional work was eventually needed (replacement of lead concealed guttering) this was performed to a high standard.
Colin and team recently reroofed part of an old cottage in Perthshire. In contrast to other companies, he was happy to source matching recycled slates for the job which was carried out to a very high standard, maintaining the original appearance of the building at a significantly lower cost than local firms.

Very happy with the work! Fixed a broken roof tile & removed weeds from the guttering, worked efficiently and quickly. I would definitely recommend.

Work carried out to a high standard and workers were polite and friendly.

Replaced harling at the front and back of the house

Absolutely excellent service! Colin and his team competed a re-slate and removed a chimney stack having done work on the property before. Brilliant attention to detail and excellent workmanship and finish. Could not recommend them more. Totally honest and trustworthy tradesman. Thanks

Gutters replaced, gable end roofline repaired. Very happy with this company's work. Very pleasant and friendly workers, quick and efficient. Would definitely use this firm again.

Job done within 2 days of contact.. will def use again..

L&E Roofing have regulalrly provided first class roofing services for over twenty years. Initially this was on a shared tenement roof and now on a row of terraced houses + work for my in-laws communal roof. Friendly, reliable service and they frequently go the extra mile.
Thank you Colin & team!

We are returning customers, to this company, which says a lot. The work done this time in January 2024 was a roof repair around a chimney stack (we had a leak) and we also had interlocking verges added to the gable end of the house.
Great job done once again. Quick to fit us in and everything was all tidied up well afterwards.
Very friendly and professional people. Thank you

Building of six flats (including a council owned flat), needing work done to roof/guttering/downpipes in response to an ESRS survey.

Colin came to give us an initial quote and visited later again in person after questions from owners in the building to give a follow-up quote for extra pieces; he wanted to see for himself rather than relying on photos I had sent, which I appreciated.

He was very flexible when it came to working with us as a group of owners and had the patience to work alongside us with the council side of things.

Once we had a scheme decision from all owners and a confirmation letter from the council, he booked us in within a week or so.
The scaffolding went up and they went to work, fixing various aspects of our roof slating, the harling in many places we'd identified, replacing the metal guttering entirely and renovating/painting the downpipes and replacing sections. During the work he sent photos of what had been done, which the council also appreciated seeing as work progressed.

Part way through the work, a comment was made that the valleys could do with treating to preserve the metal. The communication around it was a bit rushed but a small quote was given for it, we got all the owners' agreements and the work was added to the final bill and the council's application with no issues.

Through the work, his team was polite and efficient, completing a lot of work across the 3-4 weeks they were here.

Replacing slates due to weather conditions I was very pleased with the work done very polite were the men that done the work no hesitation if needed to have them here again

The garage roof was leaking into the porch and Colin noticed that the last roofer had not addressed the fact that the angle of runaway was incorrect causing a build up of rain water causing the leak over a long period of time. A quote was given for a new rubber roof to replace the old roofing felt. This felt was removed and taken away all tidied up and new roof efficiently laid in one day as promised.

Bathroom refurbishment - new velux window, new ceiling, new lights, new extractor fan. Resized basement hatch and relocation of extractor vents. The team were efficient and courteous throughout. Delighted with the work, thank you so much.

Great experience all-round with L&E Roofing.
I know how difficult it can be to find quality roofers around Edinburgh especially this time of year as the demand is outstripping supply.
Their quote was reasonable, and once agreed Colin was able to book me in within a good time-frame given their backlog - so very happy about that.
The work was carried out on time and exactly as agreed, everything went smoothly without any fuss or drama. Standard of work was excellent, also the workmen were friendly and helpful, took time to answer my questions and show me what needed to be done.
Must say excellent comms throughout, kept me updated on progress with photos of the works.
Would definitely recommend L&E roofing, I will be using this company again in the future for roofing work.

L & E roofing have been maintaining our roof for over 3 years. They have recently completed a bigger job, felting the front section of our high, old roof and bay window, replacing slates and zinc ridges etc. I have found them to be extremely trustworthy, reliable and good at communicating and have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I contacted L&E roofing to fix some ridge tiles after the recent storm and to clean the gutters. Colin arrived on time and was straight to work. He was very efficient and had it all sorted without bother. Him and the team (including Maryann) were great, and very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

We had a variety of work done on our roof by Colin and his team. All the work was completed promptly and professionally.
We can highly recommend L and E Roofing and would not hesitate to use them again.

We asked Colin to have a look at a long standing problem we've been having with water leaking into a downstairs bathroom from a balcony above. He stripped the floor of the balcony out, KC Joinery replaced the rotten joists and floor and Colin and crew re-felted on top of that. They did an excellent job, as quickly as possible, at a very reasonable price. Good communication throughout, even ensuring the skip was uplifted at the end of the job. Very happy and would definitely use again.

A couple of ridge tiles came off the roof in the bad weather between Christmas and New Year. Colin came out the same day as I phoned to have a look and provide quote. Colin kept me informed of when the men would come to do the repair. Men came as planned and were very friendly and professional. Would use again.

Very satisfied with the standard of workmanship of Colin and his men. They arrived promptly and did the work quickly and efficiently. Will have no problem using L&E again.
