Finlayson Roofing replaced our roof in our flat last year. Scott and his team were a joy to work with. They finished ahead of schedule, to the initial price with amazing quality. Cant praise Scott and his team highly enough. They done a great job.

Scott’s work and communications are excellent. His team and he take care with their work and carry it out to a high standard. Scott is responsive, clear and informative in his communications and gives advice when required. He came recommended and I would happily recommend him to others.

When we need specialised leadwork carried out for my roofing firm we always use Finlayson Roofing and have done for for 8 years. They always leave a first class job and are true masters of their craft; I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Scott Finlayson's work and project management was first rate. As an architect with 50 years experience in this field I am aware of the importance of a good contractor. He is a skilled operative who is organised with his work neat and tidy. Moreover he is a person of utmost integrity.

Scott and his team repaired the central section of a wide flat metal roof, the tops of two dormers and slating work around both dormers. This was at the third and fourth floors of a building in Howe Street in Edinburgh ‘s New Town accessed by scaffolding.
They came when they said they would come and despite some frosty February weather the job was finished on time
I would recommend them for the quality of their work and the cost was competitive. I was only invoiced once the work was completed.

I have hired Scott Finlayson on several roofing jobs on our farm. He conducts his business very professionally. He is alway proficient at carrying out site visits and following up with accurate quotes. He has never let me down and always starts and finishes the job on time. His lead craft is incredibly high quality and his conservation knowledge about what a building needs is spot on. I would highly recommend scott.
