L & E Roofing Contractors

I had all my gutters replaced. They guys were great. Very friendly and polite. Work was carried out quickly and well done. All waste was removed and outside area was left very clean and tidy.
Would definitely use again.

WOW, wished I had found Colin and L&E Roofing sooner. Having had numerous calls, texts and emails ignored from other Roofing companies, or quotes not provided, it was a pleasure dealing with Colin and his team.

Messaged Colin and he replied promptly, arranging a suitable day and time to come out and look at the work required. He turned up at the agreed time and was friendly and courteous. Colin was very thorough and informative looking over the gutters and downpipes and gave valuable advice. I thought I'd need to replace my gutters and downpipes, but Colin reassured me that it was only the gutters that needed replaced and he actually saved me money.

Colin sent the quote the same day and managed to fit me in within two weeks, due to the leaking water potentially causing damage. Colin arrived with Derek and Dylan and explained the work needing done. The work was completed over two days with the gutters being replaced and painted, the soffit, fascia and downpipes at the front and back being sanded down and double coated with exterior wood and metal paint, as well as missing roof tiles being replaced and a cowl fitted on my chimney. The workmanship was outstanding from start to finish and Derek and Dylan were friendly, helpful, polite and professional and kept me updated on their progress. All the debris was also removed after completion and my gardens tidied to a high standard.

I have no hesitation in recommending Colin and his team at L&E Roofing and would definitely use them again. Get in touch with Colin, you won't be disappointed.

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

Colin and his colleague fitted verges to our roof in about six hours. This is the second time we have used this company and we are very happy with the result. There was no mess and no inconvenience at all. We can confidently recommend using L&E Roofing Contractors.

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.

Colin and his team done the new application of roughcasting on our home and done a fantastic job. Communications were always responded to promptly and any concerns I had were put at ease. His team a professional and courteous and work was done promptly.

Removed moss from roof, treated with biocide and installed a copper strip on the roof ridge Colin was efficient and reliable, he provided an estimate within a week, scheduled the work within two weeks and completed the job to the agreed timescales. Communication with Maryann in the office was very good. Staff who worked on the roof were polite, communicated progress clearly and did a good job of tidying up debris. Very happy with our newly cleaned roof. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delighted with the work carried out on my roof .. Very efficient and professional... Thank you Colin for your prompt response to come and give me an estimate and Maryann for arranging. It took less than 1 week to estimate, accept and get work completed in 1 day .. Very impressed with the services and amazed at how prompt my whole experience has been with L&E.
Thank you so much .
I can relax now and would definitely recommend this company and would for sure call out again.

Colin and his team did a great job replacing 40+ slates on a pitch roof, repointing two skews, pointing copes and waterproofing a portion of a flat roof which had failed. The quote was extremely competitive and Colin found a way to offer days that were suitable to both me and my partner. The team was very friendly, polite and made sure we knew what was happening at different stages (clear quote, emails, pictures, conversations, etc...).
The completed work looks great, the team thouroughly cleaned the work site and were very respectful of the property. I really hope we get a chance to hire Colin's services again next time we need work done to the property. Thank you guys.

Needed the felt on two areas of flat roof replaced. Colin was quick to come and give a quote and responded pretty well immediately to emails or texts. Marianne was also very friendly and efficient on the phone.
I had to wait a few months, but that was expected as my roof was not actually leaking and their other jobs had been postponed because of shocking weather.
After discussion I opted for two layers of felt on the larger area and rubber on the smaller area. (This involved stripping off the felt, a layer of hardboard and a layer of felt)
The two Ds (Dylan and Derek ) worked hard in adverse, windy weather, communicated well with me as to their progress and showed me photos. Very polite with a good soh and a pleasure to deal with.
Colin also sent photos at the end of each day.
On completion on day 3 Colin removed all the debris.
I would definitely recommend this company and team.

Had some work done on my roof. New tiles & also some pointing work,
I was contacted throughout the whole process by text & email to provide quotes, updated on when work would be done & also after work to ensure I was happy.
I would recommend this company, Colin & Maryann were great. Five stars

Colin Edwards has done work for me and also for my son. He has replaced garage roofs and repaired dormer windows and roofing on my house. I would thoroughly recommend him as he was always as good as his word and carried out the work efficiently and well He left everything in a very clean and tidy state.
If I require future work I will always consider him for reliability and standard of workmanship.

Colin and his team repaired our crumbling chimney stack which was leaking water inside the house, and applied new render. They also fixed leaks in our gutter joints including fitting a new length of cast iron guttering and repainted all our gutters and downpipes. Colin and his team were reliable, efficient and tidy and they removed all the debris when the job was finished. They were lovely to work with and we would happily work with them again.

Colin and his team have done a wonderful job of renewing part of our roof.
My wife and I feel very pleased with the end result and we have no hesitation in recommending Colin and his team at;
L & E ROOFING CONTRACTORS, PRESTONPANS..

If anybody out there is looking for a roofer who can do an excellent job, give colin and his team a try, you will not be disappointed.....

From a satisfied customer.......

Colin from L&E Roofing helped repair my elderly mum's roof earlier this year. The service was excellent. Very happy with service.

We had the flat roof on our garage redone. Colin was easily contactable before and during the work, responding quickly to arrange an estimate, arranging a date for the job to be done etc.
Colin and his team arrived on time and worked steadily to complete the job within 2 days. Very friendly, efficient service and would definitely use them again.

L&E came highly recommended to redo an awkwardly shaped garage roof. The company is popular and so it did mean we had to wait a few weeks from the original quote - which came in very promptly. However, we were so glad we agreed to wait as it was well worth it. Used quality materials and had a high calibre of workmanship and care to the surround property and guttering. Attention to detail meant an excellent final finish. People have already commented on it. Wouldn't hesitate to use again for all other roofing repairs or a new roof etc. Very happy.

Cannot fault Colin and his team.

My Mother had multiple issues with her roof, and had tried another Company on several occasions, without success. Colin was recommended to us and he reluctantly took on the corrective work which resulted in a completely new roof having to be installed to ensure that it was fit for purpose. Having tried in vain to rectify the existing roof, Colin took into account this failed remedial work when quoting for the larger job. Derek, Dylan and the team carried out the works during a period of mixed weather and I was sent photos of the work as it was completed - excellent Communication and meant I didn’t have to be present throughout the works. Thanks also to Maryann who was very efficient and helpful any time we had to contact the office.

Would definitely recommend and use again should the occasion arise.

Re-pointing gable end mortar verge. Very pleased with the service received from L&E. Colin was very quick to respond to messages and was prompt in visiting to give a quote after first contact. Turned up as agreed and was efficient, polite and professional and tidied up afterwards. Would certainly use again for roofing work in the future.

Ridge tile pointing and slate work.
Work carried out efficiently, quickly and reasonably priced. Will be using L&E for any future work required.

We engaged L&E Roofing to rectify work that had been carried out by another company that wasn't functioning. From the first contact with Maryann to the completion of the job, our experience was like night and day compared to the previous contractors. Colin gave us a very fair and honest assessment of this prior work and how to fix the issue. Derek and Dylan who carried out the work were brilliant; prompt, polite, tidy etc. They were here when they said they would be, a trait which is sadly very rare it seems. Throughout the job we received visual updates, which was good to see progress but also for peace of mind, knowing that this job was ding properly. I would highly recommend L&E, many thanks.

We had a tile that had slipped causing a leak and our gutters needed cleared. Colin came out the same day to take a look at the problem and came back the very next day to fix it due to the weather forecast being for rain. This was a few weeks ago and was waiting for heavy rain before leaving an honest review. Problem appears to be sorted as it has been raining all afternoon and we do not have any signs of the leak.
Was very happy with the communication and service, particularly the speed, and would definitely recommend.

Needed a broken tile replaced on Garage roof, was given a quote and time for the work to be completed. They arrived on time and completed the work quickly and cleaned up afterwards. They replaced another tile that was also broken and didn’t alter the original quote provided. I would recommend them without reservation and found them helpful, pleasant and professional. Thank you Colin and Co.

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.

Firstly I would say I don’t give 5 stars to anything!
Colin and his team firstly did interim work before Christmas to try to protect me after botched work before.
The main work started end of February/ beginning of March but we were then mightily inconvenienced by the weather. But through all that time I felt supported by Colin and his men. Derek needs a particular call out as he braved wind and rain to keep me safe . Even when no work could be done someone came to check on things.
It was a complicated roof but with perseverance it is all done .
As yet. ( 8 th May ) I have had no rain to test the whole roof but I am confident that it is now totally waterproof. And in the absolute off chance it isn’t then Colin will sort it

L&E roofing were excellent. Colin did a great job thank you

Cannot fault Colin and his team. We had a roof leak that required replacement tiles, felt etc. We were sent photos of the work undertaken once completed, which was reassuring. Communication, service and end result were all excellent. Very tidy work and left no mess - bonus! Would definitely recommend and use again should the occasion arise.

The job was a small one, to replace a tile and check the roof for any other defects. In contrast to other companies I tried to contact I received a phone call within 48 hours, the work was arranged to suit my timetable and carried out in timely and professional manner.

We needed to renew and replace our guttering, facing board and soffits, front and back. Colin and his team did an excellent job from start to finish, with a very high standard of workmanship.
I highly recommend L&E Roofing for anyone in East Lothian looking for a reliable roofing contractor, who understands what customer care is all about and takes pride in doing a great job.
Thanks to Colin and his guys for doing an outstanding job, despite the dodgy weather at times!

Highly recommend Colin and his team who fixed our dormer roof. Colin was great at talking through my options and I’m very pleased with the work which was done. Great communication and very reasonably priced. I would definitely use L & E roofing again.

After being let down by various companies to replace slipped roofing tiles I contacted L&E roofing. Colin responded promptly and explained what work would be required. Colin kept us informed by visiting daily and the work was carried out to a high standard by the 2 roofers who were friendly,polite and worked diligently. Cleaning up when the job was completed . I would highly recommend this company for their high standard of work and competitive price and I would not hesitate to use them again should I need further work carried out.

Repair to roofing felt

We have been fortunate enough to have had Colin and his team install another VELUX window for us. His prompt service and quality finish along with customer aftercare is refreshing. His team work tidily and they are always courteous and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend his services. Thanks again Colin.

We had tiles replaced after the storms, Maryann kept me updated with day and time, and was value for money. Job well done.

Storm damage to roof tiles and cement work. Replied to call within couple of days baring in mind after storms lots of damage to roofs. Maryann got Colin out in a few days,price quoted which was good. Work carried out within a week. A work now completed a great job done. I would certainly recommend the company

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

My elderly mother returned home to a leak in her roof after Christmas. I contacted Colin at L & E Roofing. He was quick to respond, came and had a look, showed me photos of what the problem was, and gave me a quote, which I accepted. The work was carried out timeously and professionally. Colin kept me updated at all stages of the work. Price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend L & E Roofing and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Outstanding work from start to finish. Great communication and great value for money. Will definitely use again.

When ridge tiles had been blown of due to a very bad storm, I had no hesitation in ‘phoning Colin, (I’ve used his company before) he came out within an hour, explained in a professional and friendly way what needed to be done and true to his word, a few days later, his men arrived to do the work, they were very polite and friendly and got the work done. I have nothing but praise for Colin and his Company, he is always quick to respond and prices are very competitive, would definitely recommend them.

Extremely satisfied at the quick response and efficient work carried out on roof by Colin and his team. Would highly recommend L&E roofing.

L&E Roofing did excellent work for me.
I was 100% satisfied and would recommend them to anyone. They did a great job. They were reliable, tidy, friendly, and the price was reasonable. I would definitely use them again.
Very happy.

Colin responded very quickly to our concerns about a discoloured patch on our bathroom ceiling which appeared to be damp and after careful inspection he recommended an appropriate associate to identify and resolve the issue. We would highly recommend him for his knowledge, prompt response and professionalism.

This is the second time that Colin and his team have made repairs to my property. On the initial visit, everything was explained clearly and the quote provided was fair. On the days of the work, they turned up on time, completed the repairs and cleaned up in a professional manner. I couldn't be more happier with the quality of work and can't thank Colin and his team enough. I would have them back in a heartbeat.

If I need any repairs in the future, Colin is who I'm calling.

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.

L&E Roofing carried out repairs to our leaking flat roof. I was very happy with the quality of work carried out and I would definitely use them again.

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.

Clearing of blocked guttering and re attachment of a vent cover on the gable end of the house.

Colin and his staff were brilliant. Quote and work explained were very clear and they worked quickly without any issue and made sure everything was tidy before leaving.

Will certainly use them again.

I had seen work carried out by L&E Roofing on a house nearby and through all stages the work looked good so when my chimney roughcast needed repair I contacted Colin. His response with the estimate was very quick and efficient. He always kept me fully informed of each stage of work from scaffolding, materials and job progress. The men turned up on time, worked hard, kept the site tidy and finished off the chimney roughcast to a high spec. The site was all cleaned up and scaffolding removed soon after. All in all I am delighted with the work and will call Colin again if more roof work required. Thanks to all his team.

Colin and the team did a roof repair to our block of flats, replacing all broken tiles, ridges, guttering, flashing etc. They also painted all new cast iron guttering and downpipes. They discovered cracked rendering on one of the chimneys which they promptly repaired. This fixed a leak which other roofers had been unable to resolve. Colin's communication and professionalism was second to none. He sent us daily updates and photos tracking the progress of the work. I am very happy with the work done by L & E Roofing and would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs roofing work done. We have finally found a reliable, trustworthy roofer!

From first contact through to the work being carried out, L & E Roofing were first class. Clear communication on when they come to assess work, when and how long they would be on site, advise re work required with options and clear costings. Team worked hard on the job and cleared up all debris afterwards. All work completed to high standard.

Colin and his team arrived promptly on the date agreed.
The work that was carried out was to replace the Welsh slate under Velux window, remove all rusty ridge straps and supply and fit new galvanised ones and to fit back a lead capping piece which had fallen off. All valleys were painted , lead gutters cleaned out and all debris removed. A tidy job.
All the work was carried out by Darren and Dillon who worked consciously, were very polite and competent. They are a credit to the business.
Colin and his team will be returning before the winter sets in to repair and re-point the sandstone on my cottage.
I would recommend Colin and his team to anyone who wants a professional job doing with tradesmen who know their stuff.

Could not be happier with Colin and his team at L&E Roofing.
My Mother in Law recently lost her husband and soon after the roof needed some urgent repairs (partly caused by another roofing company who did a bad job) which only added to her stress levels!
Colin was recommended to me by a friend who also had work done so I gave him a call to see if he could help.
He was very polite and respectful of the situation, gave great advice, provided a very competitive quote, delivered the job ahead of schedule and to a level of quality well beyond what we hoped for. He even carried out some additional works without charge.
No need to look elsewhere. Go with Colin and his team. You'll not be disappointed.
Cheers.
Gav

Blocked gutter was fixed on same day. Impressed with work carried out and the friendly manner of the tradesmen. Would definitely use them again.

Great job as always from Colin and the team. Turned up as promised, completed job to high standard. Would highly recommend.

I phoned L&E roofing contractors to discuss a crack in the harling. Colin duly arrived on the agreed date, surveyed the issue and provided a quote the same day. A quote I thought was good and accepted. Colin explained the process and time scale and was able to carry out the work earlier than expected. His team carried out the work well. They were polite and friendly and cleaned up everything afterwards. I would definitely recommend L&E Roofing Contractors. Very happy with their work.

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

6 hips completely replaced, damaged pantiles replaced, skews pointed, flat roof and valley solar painted, guttering taken down and new down pipe fitted, outbuilding re-felted. Even laid loft insulation!
Colin provided a prompt and reasonable estimate. The team arrived when he said they would and remained until the job was complete with Colin keeping us informed at every stage.
The two Dereks and Dillon were polite, conscientious, skilled and tidy. They left a first rate job for which I am most grateful.

A well run business that I would confidently recommend.

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!

Colin and his team fixed the cement on my ridge tiles. Cement was coming loose and falling on my driveway.
Ridge brushed and cemented with colour to match in with the original cement.
I would certainly recommend Colin and L&E roofing and his team.

I had my roof repaired as there was daylight showing in my loft. I had a prompt response and estimate. The two workers were polite and efficient. I would recommend this firm and will use them again if I need more work done in the future.

I have used Colin and his team for a few years now and will most certainly use them again.
They are reliable, courteous, dependable and tidy.
Their workmanship is exemplary and Colin made sure the replacement tiles were complementary to the existing old Scots slates that were in situ.
A job well done.

Even managed to add on an extra wee job and great price.

Would highly recommend this business.

Thanks again to Colin and his team.
No more worries about roof tiles hitting anyone

Very impressed with the service from LandE Roofing from point of estimates through to carrying out the work. Colin responded quickly when my roof was damaged and prompt in providing estimates for repairs. He kept me in touch at each stage, providing photos of the damage and repairs completed. The work was done quickly and on budget. Excellent service

I had new ridge tiles put on my roof I normally dread having to employ tradesmen but found Colin and his team to be reliable, efficient and they carried out a great job. Would certainly use them again.

Speedy response from Colin who arrived promptly to fix the guttering during the recent bad weather. Leaks no more! Very pleasant manner and much appreciated

I called L&E Roofing Contractors to get my gutters cleaned. They turned up the next day, very efficient and did a great job. Would highly recommend for any roofing jobs, big or small.

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.

Leaking garage roof, new gutters, drop pipes, harling repair. Very efficient and good time keeping.

It was just a small job, a few slates that needed fixed. I contacted L & E roofing and Colin was very quick to respond, said he would be happy to do the work and within a few days, he sent two of his men, who were very pleasant, to fix the slates. It’s so good to find a company who gives Great Customer Service and I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Colin came and gave us a quote very quickly which we accepted. The two guys who work with him were polite and worked right through until job was complete. They tidied up and took all the rubbish etc away. Very pleased with the job and would recommend them.

Colin was really responsive. He came out to quote within days and got us fitted in before the weather got very bad! Two lovely guys came to do the work, arrived on time, and even discovered and repaired some additional damage on our flat roof (alongside clearing up some other debris) which was a step above and beyond.

Would definitely work with them again!

Replacing the leading on the roof round the chimneys.
I have no hesitation in recommending Coilin and his team to others.
Punctual, friendly, tidy, worked hard. Good job done!

Very professional. Good communication . Fair price and work completed to a good standard. Would not hesitate to use again or recommend to others.

Colin and his team did work on our dormers, tiles and gutters together with some painting. They were punctual, efficient, did a super job and cleared up afterwards. They kept us informed on the progress of the work and were polite and friendly. We would not hesitate in recommending this firm.

Roof tile remedial work.
Professional and friendly service , would use again and recommend to others.

Colin and his team always provide the high level of customer service and excellent workmanship.

I had a couple of roof related issues in the past and Colin and his team never disappointed a single time. Very reliable and high quality work.

L&E roofing contractors is the name comes to mind whenever there is any roof related issues.

Would definitely recommend to sort out any roof related issues.

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

Colin was recommended to us by a close friend, and when he came to quote we realised that he'd been here 15 years before for work on the rhones. Good to get a company with a long established reputation.
We needed some repairs to valleys and chimney stack, and had some slipped slates. We also wanted our flat roof renewed before it started to cause problems, and to have some insulation panels added to try to cut our heating bills. He came back to us very quickly with a good price and was able to start work within a few weeks. The roofers were reliable and friendly, and we got daily photos from Colin of the work as it progressed (very helpful, as we can't get up there to see it for ourselves). The work was done on time and on budget - he even got the guys to fix a leaking gutter I just spotted during the works.
Only issue is the delay in getting the scaffolding down - but that's contracted to another company and they have been affected by Covid so I'm not upset about it.
We have recommended Colin to neighbours and family for other works.

My granny asked me to post a review as she was very pleased with the service to her guttering and especially how neatly everything was left afterwards.

Chimney repair, ridge tile replacement, flat roof repair, slates replaced.
From initial contact with Colin to the completion of the work, we’ve been delighted with the high level of customer service and excellent workmanship.
The roofers turned up when they said they would. If there was any change of plan, Colin always let us know. On site we had no complaints at all. The roofers were polite, hard working and friendly. We’d certainly have no hesitation in recommending L&E Roofing Contractors.

Colin and his team made some harling repairs to our walls after storm damage. The work is of good quality, reasonably priced and was done promptly within the agreed timetable. We're very happy with the service we received from Colin's team and would certainly use them again for any work in future.

We’ve used Colin and his team a couple of times. Colin has given us great advice which we were so appreciative of. The guys worked to a high standard in painting and repairing soffits and removing and cleaning gutters. They were friendly and professional and so wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

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

Had some problems with damp in one of our bedrooms so asked L and E Roofing to take a look, turns out the whole outside wall was damp, and they identified lots of problems with the wall, parts of the roof, a chimney that need resurfacing and vegetation growing from the wall.

Couldn't be happier with the work, all of the problema above were dealt with. The work was done very quickly and the guys were very professional throughout amd we were impressed with how tidy the area was after they left each night. The nature of the problem meant that they were working in our elderly neighbours garden, and they were very respectful towards her.

Communication was excellent throughout, and there were no surprise changes to the agreed quote, so very happy with everything.

Would definately work with L and E Roofing again in the future.

Had roughcasting replaced in a particularly awkward place. Colin came and gave a very reasonable quote. His workers came when he said they would. Due to location of damaged rendering they had to work off neighbour's roof. They treated the job with respect and took videos for me to show neighbours the work done and the fact their roof was intact after works to their satisfaction. They actually found issues with the flashing on neighbours roof which they repaired. After works they tidied up as completely as they could. During works Colin's workers were courteous and answered any queries.
Neighbours have commented on the job, both the works done and the matching of the rendering. One neighbour in particular asked about the East Lothian Trust a Trader sticker on Colin's works vans.
Happy with works done and would use L & E Roofing Contractors again and would recommend them to friends.

Had Colin come out to quote for work on my roof, arrived when he said he would, quickly got quote, and gave go ahead, a week later work started, tradesmen were friendly, worked efficiently and tidied up thoroughly after they’d finish! So pleased with the job from start to finish, can highly recommend this company

External fascia boards and gutter work. Colin's advice very helpful, kept us informed all way through, friendly staff, area left clean and tidy when finished. I would highly recommend his company, and would have no hesitation in contacting him again.

Used L&E roofing for the second time after a great repair previously.

Came out and quoted swiftly for myself and also my in laws, was honest and said we would need to wait a little bit as he was busy (understandable when they provide a good service). Job complete this morning on my own home and in laws and both happy with completed job. If we have any further issues L&E roofing would be my first port of call and I would recommend them to any one else as well!!

L&E roofing were recommended to ourselves after doing a job for another family member. Came out very quickly and quoted, we excepted the quote which was good value for money.
Attended this morning and one word “Amazing”. Guys were polite and fixed a leak we had and also sorted a job not done very well by a previous roofer. If I require a roofer in the future I will be contacting L&E and also will highly recommend them to family and friends. Thank you Colin and all of your guys.

Second time to use L&E, this time an insurance tiling repair following storm damage. L&E's customer service and flexibility are first class and wouldn't hesitate to use again. Colin and Maryann always super helpful, polite and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you!

Silver cowl had to be re-situated back onto the top of the chimney after working loose in the recent storms. Also had several tiles replaced at the same time. Colin responded quickly to my emails and did the work within a couple of days which was much appreciated.

Colin and his team completed the repair to the gutters and the ridge on my house they arrived on time they were friendly and clean and tidy workers. Overall they they were very professional company and I would definitely recommend this company in the future

Colin Edwards fitted a new garage roof and replaced slates on main house.
He came promptly and carried the work out extremely efficiently.
I will certainly use him again should the need arise.

After Storm Arwen needed ridge tiles refitted. Used the site as wanted a trustworthy company. Contacted Colin and he was very responsive. Provided a quote quickly, which was competitive, was honest that we would need wait a few weeks due to a backlog of work however, told me to contact him if there was water ingress (which there was not) and he would reprioritise us. Was in regular contact, knowledgeable and left the site tidy after they finished. Would not hesitate to recommend. Simon

Colin fixed my guttering support.

Colin was working on a neighbours roof when I approached him for advice regarding my leaky guttering. He was extremely helpful and fixed out the problem right away.
What a service, I would have no hesitation in recommending him to all of my friends.

Many thanks Colin.

L&E fixed an issue with the roof lining and cleaner the gutters. The customer service was excellent and the responsiveness of the company was excellent as well as the job was assessed, quoted and completed quickly. On the day the team were prompt, polite and very considerate. I would recommend their services to anyone.
I couldn't give them a 5 for value for money only because having never had such a service before I found it difficult to judge that.

We encountered numerous problems with a flat roof and skylight installed by the builder of our new extension.

We called Colin when it became clear the builder was out of his depth - and Colin quickly resolved all issues to a very high standard. Not only did Colin come up with great solutions - but he kept cost to a minimum.

Colin and team are extremely reliable, work to a very high standard and I have no hesitation referring them to anyone with roofing issues and questions.

Excellent work by the team on a very old property - work on chimney which was previously causing damp in property, addition of 3 new breathable chimney pots, lead cladding on roof, gutter cleaning and aerial removal. The team were on time - courteous, and completed the job with minImal fuss. Fully recommended.

Work undertaken: covered stone skews with lead to prevent water ingress.

Very approachable, reliable, friendly and helpful firm. Thanks to Maryann for consistently great and prompt communication with organising the work.
Also thanks to Colin and all his crew who were clear about the work undertaken, talked me through the process and addressed questions. Would recommend

Replacing cast iron gutters and painting facias and down pipes. Excellent job Colin and his team were very professional. I would use L & E Roffing Contractors again and would recommend his firm to anyone looking for a roofer.

L & E Roofing renewed a large flat roof, replaced my ridge, fitted vent tiles and installed uPVC trims on the front and rear roof verge.

When Colin from L & E first came to quote for the work I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. Initially he quoted me for installation of a new rubber membrane on the flat roof and then subsequently for the ridge and verge. The quote was very reasonable for the work getting done.
They first came to do the flat roof which was completed over a few days. I am very happy with the quality of workmanship and with the guys that did the work.
They then came back to carry out the work on the ridge and verge. They installed a new dry ridge system which involved removal of the whole old ridge and cement work. They then explained to me that a plastic "tree" was installed onto which the new ridge tiles are fastened. Unlike the old cement fixed ridge, this should be maintenance free.
When installing the verge trims they actually spent a day putting some up which then then removed the next day as they weren't 100% satisfied with how they were sitting. I was very impressed with this as it showed their professionalism and commitment to the quality of their work.
Due to this, the work ended up taking them longer than they expected and they actually did much more than originally quoted for. I was more than happy to pay for this extra work but Colin refused to take a penny more than he had quoted.
I would have L & E Roofing back in AA heartbeat if I need anything else done!

Contacted Colin and he came out to view the job and quote, quote received same day.

Accepted quote (excellent value for money) and arranged to complete the work in a few days which we very happy with as we had a leaking roof when it rained.

Word done and he did extra jobs which we did not ask him to quote for (cleared the gutters) so can not recommend Colin and his guys enough. We will 100% be using them again when required.

Could not have been more pleased with the outcome. The quote was very good and Colin and team arrived on time -all prepared - no excuses - nothing left to chance. The lads went beyond the job and when they knew I was hiring a special pipe cutter - they said - we will do that and they did. Have no fears - this company are experts and well mannered lads. Thanks guys.

Colin and the lads did a great job, rough casting house repairs, professional at all times. Pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended them

I reached out to Colin to repair and seal the outside after we had removed the old mullions from the windows. Between first contact and job done, Colin and his team were fantastic, on time and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

Front of house re harled. The men who came to do the job were excellent. They updated us on progress each night until job was finished. At the end they cleaned the whole front of the house, even the downpipes. We would not hesitate to recommend
L & E to anyone. The best building company we have ever used.

Would defo recommend L&E , Maryann in the office is so Professional and friendly, Colin gave us a quote again Professional and friendly, gutters are now all sorted by Jamie and his colleague they 2 were fantastic there wasnt any messing about really efficient and all work carried out at in a timely manner, so refreshing to have great work carried out at a reasonable price from a company, we have had so many dafties giving out quotes that have no clue about customer service, L & E are leading the way,thankyou so much guys !!

After high winds some ridge tiles had come loose and we needed all the ridge tiles checked as we were unhappy with previous work by another roofer.
Colin came promptly and discussed the job, advising that all the ridge needed removed, old mortar cleaned off and then reattached.
His quote seemed reasonable.
Work commenced a few weeks later (it had been stormy so he was very busy)
The team of roofers were very pleasant and helpful, informing us of what was happening at every stage.
Work was completed in a few days and the team made sure the garden was cleaned up
We are very happy with the work done and the attention to detail at all stages of the job

Really small job on a leaking drainpipe which lots of tradesman might not have thought was worth their while, but Colin came out no problem. Fixed it on the spot and then even used the hosepipe to check the repair had worked. Friendly, helpful and always responds to emails. Would highly recommend.

The roughcasting had come loose on my chimney due to the weather.
I convinced myself the whole house was needing re-done and was letting my mind run wild about the expense.
I phoned L and E at 3pm and he arrived first thing next morning to assess the job.
Mr Edwards quickly assured me that the job wasn't as big as I had first thought and talked me out of having the whole house done.
An estimate was sent within 2 hours and upon acceptance, Mr Edward's had his staff along making safe the loose roughcast as I have small kids running wild.
2 days later the scaffolding arrived followed by the squad from L and E who had the job done in a day and a half.
I'm delighted with the work done, overall cost and the time it took to complete.
Mr Edwards is a thoroughly decent bloke, polite and professional and I will have no hesitation to call upon his services again should the need arise.
Highly recommended.
Thanks again.

We were lucky! They got a postponement and so offered us the space. First experience of a rubber roof (EPDM), but Colin came and laid our fears to rest. Work was done when they said and completed to a high standard when they said.
No more leaks on our flat roof!! Thank you.

I contacted Colin when some harling became loose and started falling to the ground. He arrived the next day to look at it and immediately went up on to the roof and made it as safe as possible as a temporary measure. He showed us photos of the problems and also the broken roof tiles where the harling had smashed down onto them. He sent an estimate that evening, which we accepted and agreed he would start the work asap. Unfortunately the weather quickly caused even more damage and Colin and his men arrived within a couple of days to start work. They were quick, tidy, efficient and very friendly. Colin kept us informed of the progress by email and photos each evening. They tidied up as they went along and we are extremely happy with the work. We would definately recommend them. So a very big thank you to Colin and crew at L & E Roofing.

Replace storm damaged ridge tiles and mortar - Fast, efficient service!

Having previously used L&E Roofing for our old house, when we discovered roofing issues with our new one we knew that Colin and his team would help us quickly and professionally. We needed a whole new roof, repairs to wood, all new slates, chimneys to be fixed - the works. Colin inspected our roof very quickly and gave us a comprehensive account of what needed done with a quote sent across to us that evening. Since we live in a conservation area, we needed planning permission for the slate change; Colin was very knowledgeable about which slates would be appropriate and in keeping with the house and area. After receiving planning permission, Colin was able to start quickly and his team were on site as expected and immediately got on with the job. Despite the bad weather (snow, wind and hail), Colin and his team worked hard and got our roof done to a high standard. Colin also recommended approved traders such as a joiner and painter which we used for associated works. Happy with all of his work and his recommendations. Colin is a professional and we trust his work and his word. Will use for all our roofing needs.

A late review for a big job completed last summer. The guys completely replaced all timber fascias and fitted new guttering. Colin then identified the underlying reason for the rot - the original roof design trapped water and had started leaking as the ‘waterproof’ felt deteriorated over the years. The guys re-profiled the roof and replaced the bottom third of the sarking and felt. Colin tried to keep costs down and very clearly explained what needed to be done and what didn’t. All work was completed quickly to a high standard for a reasonable fixed price. We then got them to install two new Velux windows. That turned out to be a difficult job because of the type of tiles, but in the end they got it fixed so we were all happy. Colin gets stuck in himself (he's not a paperwork boss) and his guys are cheery hard workers, particularly if you keep them sweet with plenty of tea and biscuits... :-) They clearly know a lot about roofs and have high standards. I would absolutely recommend them, particularly if you have an awkward problem that doesn’t want to go away and you want it fixed properly.

Had the roof and conservatory gutters cleaned out. Good job done. Guys were professional & friendly. Colin was good at communicating clearly, quickly and courteously - from responding to my request for a quote, providing a quote, acknowledging my acceptance of quote, and finding a suitable date ASAP for the work to be done. Thanks to all. I would recommend this company, and I would use them again.

Enjoying peace of mind this winter after replacement of gutter and other repairs. Professional, reliable, trustworthy, positive communications at all stages. Friendly team, responsive, easy to approach and discuss range of options. Good value - would definitely work with again.

Musselburgh

Colin recommended changing our guttering for a larger profile which would help the water flow. I decided not to do this in the first instance, then Colin offered to clean out the gutters free of charge. This was duly done.

Colin and his team were great. Provided helpful advice prior to agreement on the job which was very competitively priced and was left with a good impression.

During the job the guys were friendly, approachable with a good work ethic. They did a great job and we are very happy.

Was impressed with the clean up job they provided at the end which I thought was a great way to end the job. Would definitely recommend and would be happy to use them again for one of their other services.

Colin’s team completed gutter clearance for us and fixed some leaking joints on the guttering. Work completed promptly following quote. We will definitely use L&E again for future roof repairs.

Colin and his guys resurfaced two dormer roofs which an incompetent tradesman had previously 'fixed'.

Difficult to give an accurate rating regarding cost, quality of product etc as roofers tend to vary wildly and sometimes issues can develop further down the line, however; they were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient and would hire again.

Colin and his team removed old cladding from the exterior of the house and replaced it with new. They also resolved a long standing window issue with a great fix. The work was organised and efficient and left in a tidy state. Great job and would recommend highly to anyone needing similar work.

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.

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.

We called Colin to look at a leaking roof above a lower bay window, a leaky gutter joint and to clean the gutters for ourselves and our neighbours. We were also concerned that some rendering was cracked on our side wall but Colin was able to reassure us that this was fine. After providing us with a very reasonable estimate the work was carried quickly. The firm came exactly when the said they would and we are very pleased with the result. We cannot fault the service and they were so helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend them and use them again.

Moss removed from roof, copper strips fitted and gutters cleaned. Very pleased with the results. Work carried out efficiently. I would happily recommend this company.
