Roof Repairs in Aberdeen
Aberdeen's older streets, from Torry to Woodside, are mostly topped in natural Scotch slate on granite-built roofs. A slipped slate after a windy night is usually how the trouble starts, since it opens a small gap for water to reach the felt below. Left unchecked, that water works into the wood underneath.
We match you with a local roofer who covers Aberdeen, since the city's coastal position calls for fixings that can take salty air. See our full range of roofing services in Aberdeen, or read the national guide to roof repairs for typical costs.

Roofing in Aberdeen — what local roofers know
Aberdeen sits on the coast and is severely exposed, so wind and salty air both wear roofs down faster than inland. Storm Arwen, Storm Babet and Storm Isha have all loosened tiles and flashings here since 2021.
Natural Scotch slate needs a roofer who can source matching stone, since a generic tile would look out of place on the city's granite-built streets. Perished underlay is also common on older housing, since the felt beneath the tiles was never meant to last a century.
A roofer can also tell you whether a slipped slate is a simple repair or a sign of something bigger, since one loose slate rarely tells the whole story. For that, see our roof inspections in Aberdeen page. If the damage reaches the chimney, our chimney repairs in Aberdeen page covers that instead.
