ASSESSING THE NEED FOR A NEW ROOF
Determining whether a roof requires full replacement begins with a thorough photographic survey. This identifies structural issues, damaged materials, or potential weak points that could compromise safety. By understanding the condition of your roof early, you can make informed decisions about replacement and budgeting. For further preventive measures, consider our roof surveys or explore roof repair options for minor defects that may not require full replacement.
Choosing a roof replacement is a significant investment, and it’s essential to work with a contractor you can trust. At Stuart & Moffat Roofing Contractors, we provide professional roof replacement solutions across Edinburgh, delivering long-lasting results for both domestic and commercial properties. Whether your roof has reached the end of its lifespan or recurring issues are no longer cost-effective to repair, our experienced team will guide you through the process with clarity and care.

MINIMISING DISRUPTION DURING ROOF REPLACEMENT
Replacing a roof can be disruptive to homeowners and neighbours, so careful planning is essential. We coordinate access, schedule work efficiently, and communicate progress throughout the project. Health and safety guidelines are strictly followed to protect both workers and property. For additional support and ongoing protection, clients often consider gutter repairs to complement their new roof or set up maintenance plans for future upkeep.
When Repairs Are No Longer Enough
Property owners often ask whether a full roof replacement is necessary or if roof repairs will suffice. While minor issues such as slipped tiles or isolated damage can often be resolved with targeted roof leak repair, repeated problems may indicate more serious concerns. In these cases, continual repairs can become more disruptive and costly over time, making roof replacement a more practical and long-term solution. Our team will always provide honest advice, explaining whether repairs remain a practical option or if replacing the roof entirely will offer better protection and value.
Long-Term Value And Protection
Investing in a quality roof replacement adds lasting value and protection to your property. A properly installed full roof replacement reduces maintenance demands and lowers the risk of unexpected roof leak repair callouts. It also provides peace of mind knowing your building is protected by modern materials and professional workmanship. Over time, this can result in fewer roof repairs and improved overall property performance.

Daniel and Malcolm did a great job replacing my Velux window at short notice. They came and assessed the job, including working out how to get up onto the roof, provided great communication throughout and did an excellent job fitting the window. No mess whatsoever, and the whole job was done in less than 4 weeks. Very happy and thoroughly recommend.

By combining expert skills with transparency, clients are fully informed and prepared, avoiding surprises or misunderstandings during replacement work.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement
How do I know if I need a roof replacement or just repairs?
-
If your roof is experiencing frequent leaks, visible sagging, or widespread material deterioration, a roof replacement may be more cost-effective than repeated repairs. We provide a full assessment before advising.
Do you offer roof replacement for commercial properties?
-
Yes. We carry out roof replacement projects for both domestic and commercial buildings across Edinburgh, tailoring materials and methods to suit the property’s use.
What does your free photographic roof survey include?
-
The survey documents your roof’s condition with clear images, allowing us to explain any issues and recommended solutions in a transparent, easy-to-understand way.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
-
Timescales depend on roof size, structure, and weather conditions. We’ll provide a realistic timeframe before work begins and keep you informed throughout.
Do I need planning permission for a roof replacement in Edinburgh?
-
In most cases, planning permission is not required if the new roof uses similar materials and does not alter the building’s height or appearance. However, listed buildings or properties in conservation areas may have specific requirements. Our team can advise you on compliance before work begins.
