Featured Case Studies

Case Study 1 – New Tiled Roof on Family Home, Kirkcaldy

A family in Kirkcaldy contacted us after ongoing leaks from an ageing tiled roof. Several previous patch repairs had not solved the problem and the roof was nearing the end of its life.

We carried out a full roof survey, identified widespread underfelt failure and loose tiles, and recommended a complete strip and re-roof. Our team removed the old coverings, fitted new breathable membrane and treated battens, installed quality concrete tiles, renewed ridges and hips, and upgraded leadwork around the chimney and flashings.

The work was completed within the agreed timescale, with scaffolding carefully planned to minimise disruption to parking and access. The property now benefits from a smart, uniform roof with a manufacturer-backed guarantee and our own workmanship guarantee.

Case Study 2 – Roughcasting & Roof Repairs on Corner Property, Thornton

The owner of a corner property in Thornton was experiencing damp patches on internal walls and flaking external render. At the same time, slipped slates and damaged flashings were allowing water to track into the building.

We inspected both the roof and external walls, then proposed a combined solution: repairing and re-slating affected roof areas, renewing flashings, and applying a new roughcast finish to exposed elevations. By tackling the issues together, we reduced overall scaffolding costs and shortened the programme.

Work was staged to keep access open for neighbours and to protect pavements. The fresh roughcast and secure roof have significantly improved weather protection and kerb appeal, with the client commenting on the tidy site and smooth communication throughout.
