Musselburgh Slaters Limited

I have used Mark and the team at Musselburgh Slaters for several jobs now, both at our own home and at my father’s. Jobs include: slate replacement; mending cracked harling; putting up anti-pigeon wire round eaves; replacing a perished, wooden fascia of a dormer window with more durable UPVC; stripping, pointing and harling a chimney; replacing guttering, fitting cowls to chimneys. In all cases the work was done to the highest standard and we were shown photos before, during and after the job and kept up to date with every stage of the process. Mark, Mitch and the team are very professional and also polite and good fun.

Mark arrived for the survey on time and emailed my quote that night. Work was completed on time and to a high standard. His team kept me updated on the progress at the end of each night. They left the work area spotless at the end of the job. I had all of the wooden sofits replaced with maintenance free upvc. The cost was slightly over budget but that was down to unforseen problems caused by my extension. I would highly recommend Mark and his team.

I got a quick reply to my initial enquiry to have gutters cleared and repaired/replaced.

I agreed the price for the job and Mark and the guys were on time, and cleared everything up before they left.

I need other works done and will definitely use them again.

Great to have tradesmen who arrive on time and keep you updated.

My neighbour and I used Musselburgh Slaters after a recommendation. They responded quickly did the survey, sent in the quote, and carried out the work. Excellent service, excellent work. Keep local.

Replaced all of the roof tiles which were damaged beyond repair.
Watched them working on a neighbour’s house in April in dreadful conditions and thought they look good. I was right - very professional from my first conversations with both Mark and Mitch (and everyone else) but also friendly and engaging, explaining everything that needed done and action’s taken. Also left the place spotless.
Cannot thank them enough for the way this was carried out and trust isn’t a word I would usually use for people I have never met but have no hesitation in using it here.

I had a leak in my roof which was coming from the watergate. Mitch identified the problem area and came back to repair it the next day. I was sent photos of the before and after which was very helpful to see for myself the work that was carried out. The repair was completed quickly and efficiently and with no mess.

Thanks to Mark for his prompt and friendly emails and a specific thanks to Mitch and team for completing the work within 24 hours. If I ever have any roof problems in future, I will certainly use Musselburgh Slaters again and I would highly recommend them.

The whole roof was replaced after a previous contractor damaged it beyond repair. The guys worked in atrocious conditions and it was done in 4 days. The garden was left tidy and intact. The team was punctual, extremely pleasant and hard workers.
Once I get the funds together I will have them back to replace my garage roof.

I want to thank Mark and his Team for the work carried out this morning and the quick response to assess the damage after the storm, arrived when they said they would, very professional and made sure everything was cleaned up after the work was carried out.

Would definitely recommend and will use in the future

We recently had a roof leak at our skylight. Mark attended promptly to assess the problem and provide us with a quote to strip out the damaged skylight and any damaged timber, frame out , underfelt and tile the area. The team arrived at time agreed and carried out the repairs in a professional and friendly manner. Would recommend this team and would use them again. very good customer service throughout.

We found a leak in the conservatory roof just days after getting the keys to our new home. Mark provided a prompt response and a quote within days. Although our job had to be rescheduled due to all the bad weather we've been having, his team was great when it came down to it. They addressed the leak and cleaned the gutters, went around the rest of the roof patching up anything that could pose potential issues for us and took the time to talk us through the work that had been done. The work carries a 2-year guarantee but fingers crossed it won't be needed. Friendly, professional and efficient - would highly recommend.

We had a dry verge installed on gable end of our house. Mark responded promptly to our initial enquiry and provided a quote within a couple of days. Mitch and Ben completed the work in a professional manner and cleared everything away before they left. A great job from a friendly team. We would highly recommend.

Mark and team were excellent. They sorted a roof issue which was causing rain water to leak through the kitchen ceiling light. There were heavy rains soon after the roof was repaired, but no further leaks. I've since recommended the company to other family members.

Mark and his team repaired damaged render on a garden wall and filled cracks in exterior render on the property wall. The work was costed as in the estimate (which covered everything including materials), completed on time, and left tidy. Mark and his team gave us an informative breakdown of all the work needed to address the problem and prevent it recurring. As others have mentioned in their reviews the quote was not the lowest but it was the most detailed and comprehensive that we received. The team kept us informed at every stage of what they were doing and what to expect. We’re very pleased with the quality of the work.

We were very pleased with the response and quality of the work done.
The young man who did the work was extremely pleasant and efficient.

Very efficient and a high standard of workmanship. Would certainly recommend.

Musselburgh Slaters had fixed my leaking roof, chimney and removed the skylight. They did the repair promptly and sent pictures of the repairs. The team were friendly, and very professional. They not only fixed whenever needed to be fixed but also cleaned up the gutters! Mark answered all my questions and queries. I would definitely used Musselburgh Slaters in the future and will recommend to anyone.

Broken slates changed, water plate repaired, gutters cleaned and vents inserted into roof space.

Re-Roofing my cottage. The work was carried out in a thoroughly professional manner by an expert & communicative team run by an experienced and pleasant manager.

Prompt attendance and prompt quote from Mark for extensive repairs/replacement and overhaul to slate roof + several other items. Although not the cheapest, I was happy with his approach to the work required and he kept to the dates originally set. The team doing the work was led by Mitch, who was very good at explaining what he was going to be doing and showing photos throughout of 'before and after' work done. I feel that the work was done to a high standard and that Mitch had the experience and ability to deal with everything that was required. So, a happy customer who would happily have 'Musselburgh Slaters' back again (although hopefully they will not be needed for a while!).

We have used the services of the company twice in our group of four villas and found the work done efficiently and at a reasonable cost. Mark is friendly and happy to help, and to give an honest assessment of what needs done. We were pleased with the service and would call on the company again.

Mitch and Darren did a brilliant job on my slate roof repair this morning.
Showing me photos of the problems and their repairs all the way through the job.
Courteous and very knowledgeable about their trade.
With their boss, Mark providing great service to give me a quote and follow up after the work had been completed.
After multiple problems with previous companies and traders not turning up, I'm thrilled to bits that my roof is finally fixed!! Thank you

Mark and his Team were brilliant. Had my roof cleaned and house Harling done. Mark found the perfect colour I wanted. The team were friendly, prompt to the job and professional throughout. Very hard workers! They offered sound advice and answered all my questions and queries and were very knowledgeable about their trade. I would recommend Musselburgh Slaters to anyone looking for this type of work. Thank you Mark and the lads!!

Musselburgh Slaters responded immediately by phone and booked in a roof repair to slates and ridge tiles for me after a big storm, despite being very busy at the time. They turn up when they say they will and communicate really well by phone / email /social media. They did the repair properly and sent pictures of the repairs and have been back twice to check them, which is much appreciated. I would recommend Mark’s firm, good work and good customer service.

Gutters fitted and roof ridge fitted. Missing tiles replaced.

Really reliable service, very friendly team and professional job done.

After using a number of roofers, over the years, to try an plug a few holes on my roof, Mark and his team finally identified the problems and sorted them . The roof has remained watertight throughout the recent storms and given the quality of work I couldn't recommend Musselburgh Slaters highly enough. They also turned up exactly when the said they would!

I have just had my whole roof replaced, to be honest I was a little apprehensive, being such a big job, but I have to say it was totally painless, Mark is a pleasure to work with, everything was just so very straight forward, but I also have to give a huge shout to his guys, Mitch, Darren and Charles who I have to say were great, they arrived early, cracked on and got the job done, very pleasant, after they had finished it they tidied everything up(it was like they were never there) I was delighted with the finished result, and would not hesitate to use them again

Mark organised the complete re- cementing of our main roof ridge tiles as well the extension, also cleaning the guttering and removing moss. We were very impressed with the way that all the work was carried out absolutely at the times arranged and completely to our satisfaction. From start to finish Mark and his team were very punctual and unfailingly pleasant and helpful even doing a couple of extra small jobs. It was a pleasure to deal with them and we would have no hesitation in using them again. Thank you Mark.

I discovered two roof tiles had slipped down in the recent storms. Whilst I contacted several firms, only Mark from Musselburgh Slaters replied within a few hours. The work was completed within 36 hours of me contacting this firm. Prompt, courteous service. Will be my first port of call in the unlucky event I need future roof repairs.

Our roof was badly damaged by storm Arwen and required emergency repairs. We contacted Musselburgh Slaters and they agreed to fit us into their already tight schedule.
They arrived promptly the next again morning and completed the repairs before lunch time. They also repaired other areas which were defective before the storm at no extra cost.
This is the first time we have used this company and we will certainly do so again

Replacement Ridge tile and re fix of plastic verge cover.

Left message with musselburgh Slaters LTD and they promptly got back to me first thing in the morning following the storm the night before.
The guys arrived shortly after my call and were very polite, courteous and explained the repair in detail.
They carried the work out quickly with no disturbance and left no mess behind them.
Any future roof work I require,then musselburgh Slaters will be my first choice.

Got work done on the gable end of my roof, which was cracked, loose, and coming away, Mark gave me the options, either going with the same or going for something a bit more modern. Which I chose, very professional, efficient, and I was delighted with the finished result, so pleased, I have him coming back prior to winter to do some tile work on my roof, prior to winter, would totally recommend

Replaced Slates and Removal of Moss

Early Start
Pleasant and willing
Efficient and Thorough
Worked Hard

Thank you

This was my first experience with Musselburgh Slaters, I contacted them to see if someone could come out to have a look at my guttering which was leaking badly due to the heavy snow fall, Mark and his team arrived the next morning gave me a quote for the repair which I was more than happy with and proceeded to do the repair there and then, they did a fantastic job and nothing was any bother to them, A great team and a very professional company which I would highly recommend to anyone in the future.

Excessive moss removed and broken tiles replaced. Damaged fascia replaced. Plus partial complete retile of our cottage and chimney repoint. Everyone was friendly, polite and we were kept informed at all times of the progress.

This is the second time I have used this company. On this occasion it was a leak in a flat roof. From the time that they were first contacted Mark came on time, produced an estimate promtly and came to carry out the work at the agreed time. The work that was required was less than I anticipated and I was given an honest appraisal of the problem. It was then carried out promptly and as far as I can tell efficiently. The problem with my leak has certainly gone. Comparing the price quoted for the job against similar work that had been done for neighbours was probably a bit more expensive, however if this is what reliability, courtesy and service costs I am happy. Minor damage to other parts of the roof were pointed out and repaired at no extra cost. My experience in having this work carried by a firm that I first found on Trusted Trader has been very positive and I would not hesitate to contact them in future or to recommend them.

We lost part of our roof edging in recent storms and were at risk of the damage increasing quickly.

This is my first experience with Musselburgh Slaters and the guys were great! I explained the problem, they said they’d been round to see the work the following morning (which they did). They explained what would be needed, gave me a free quote and got on with doing the work there and then.

Overall, great service from a company I’ll definitely use again.

Replacement of leaking water gates, render chimneys and fix guttering on A-listed building (Monkton House, Old Craighall). All leaks fixed and squeezed us in at fairly short notice by working bank holiday weekend (much appreciated and it allowed us to progress our renovation project). The whole team were very professional and helpful throughout and I'd definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.

2 window sills replaced , gutters cleaned , down pipes & gutters painted plus leak in gutter sealed . Replacement of filling under window . Happy to recommend Mark & his team .
The job was carried out efficiently with regard to social distancing . Mark kept me informed with progress even when they couldn’t start, as arranged , due to wet weather . Tidied & removed all rubbish when job complete .
Thanks Mark for a job well done !

Delighted with the work done by Mark and his team, harling and replacing slates. The results are great and the house has had a real facelift. I am happy to recommend them.

Roof checked over and repaired , New guttering and fascia's , new harling and sills and surrounds painted , excellent job by Mark and his team , would certainly use again , and definitely recommend !

We had a persistent leak coming into the bedroom which another company had failed to trace. Mark was immediately able to pinpoint the problem and two of his team - Mitch and Michael - worked steadily to make the necessary repair. They also replaced a few missing slates and cleaned out the guttering. On Mark's recommendation we agreed, instead of painting the wood on the dormer, to apply pvc, so improving the look. We found Mark and his team to be reliable workmen who turned up when they said they would. All were pleasant and we were happy with the standard of workmanship. Would certainly use them again.

Gutters repaired, cleaned and painted, sills replaced, pointed and Harled. Mark and his team did a very good job. We would have no hesitation in using them again.

We have recommended them to our neighbours.

Mark did an excellent job identifying the problem with my roof and fixing it after another "reputable" roofing company failed to fix it in three visits!
He was great in turning up, providing a quote, completing the fix in half the time originally suggested and then checking the repair when it next rained again.
I would absolutely recommend him!

Mark was reliable in providing a quotation, keeping us advised during lockdown, arriving on time with his excellent team in the quality of their work. His team was even proactive in replacing additional tiles and doing more work than originally spotted when they were on the roof - without an additional charge. We really appreciated his proactive and frank approach to what needed to be done, and the quality of work. Highly recommended; we would have no hesitation in hiring again.

I had a roof partially re-tiled and I was impressed with their professionalism.
I am very pleased with the end result and would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
They kept me informed throughout - both verbally and with photographs and videos.
A job well done.

Harling completed a few weeks ago.
The team were obliging, hard working, efficient, good humoured and aimed to please always, which I appreciated.
Delighted with the final results, transformed the appearance of the house.
Would recommend

Musselburgh Slaters recently replaced all the guttering on my house and did all the external paintwork including the windows. The work was done efficiently, on schedule and I am delighted with the results. I am happy to recommend them to anyone requiring similar work.

This company are well deserved of their 5 star rating. We initially agreed to have the house re-harled which was completed to a very high standard. It has transformed the look and kerb appeal of the house.

Mark was very helpful and willing to provide additional advice in other areas . We were so impressed that in the end the exterior of the house received a full MOT with added maintenance to the gutters, roof and driveway cleaned and re-sealed. The site was kept tidy and returned to its original state.

I would recommend this company 100%, really nice helpful guys, willing to go the extra mile, and very reasonably priced.

We had a roof leak which Mark's team dealt with. We were so impressed that we asked him to do a set of other jobs including harling a chimney and a gateway arch, sorting out some pavers, and dealing with leaks in the shed and garage roofs. Things were done when he said they would be and he followed up with visits to check that the repairs were satisfactory.

They provided a highly competitive quote for the work required and did a great job.
Work was completed on schedule and any minor issues were taken in their stride.
Owner responded promptly to any questions and kept us up to date throughout the work.

All works were completed in a timely fashion, and the quote completed as agreed.

Customer service good. Good work all round.

Full roof check - guttering replaces, pointing, rotten wooden replaced, gable end and also front section of roof fitted with caps.

Service provided was first class with a special mention for Mitch for the excellent work carried out by him.

Would certainly recommend Mark and his team to anyone looking for a top quality job done!

Very professional and courteous.

Roofing work undertaken as agreed but also did more work than originally agreed with no extra cost. Quick and efficient service with the added bonus of the rubbish being taken away on completion of job.

Came home from holiday to a leaky roof in our sun room due the recent Heavy rain. Mark and his team came the next day to assess the damage and arranged to do the repairs on the Saturday that week. We took to opportunity to get the guttering and weather boards replaced at the same time. The guys came as promised early Saturday morning. They were a couple of characters and worked hard to get the job done. Both really nice guys and left the place neat and tidy. What a difference to the outside appearance of the sun room. We had a really heavy thunderstorm that night. No leaks so money well spent.
Would highly recommend Musselburgh Slaters for a fair price and an excellent job.

Fantastic job by extremely helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend Musselburgh Slaters, extremely good value for money.

Mark and his team dealt with a tricky roof leakage problem and several other roofing issues, including some that were not known about when they started. Very efficient, reliable, easy to work with and have given us a high degree of confidence in their workmanship.

I have found Musselburgh Slaters to be very reliable & responsive, with a good standard of work. Have used them for roof repairs, guttering, and a chimney repair. They see jobs through to the end & will follow up as needed. Competitive prices.

Mark and his team recently repaired and renewed all the harling on our house. We couldn't be happier with the result: the house looks like new.

Aside from the quality of the work, we found Mark and his team efficient, friendly and polite throughout. We were kept fully advised from the initial quote to the finished job, knowing exactly where the job was day to day and what would be happening the next day. The worksite was kept tidy at all times and on completion you would not have known they had been working around the house and garden for a week or so.

In terms of value for money the cost was substantially less that all quotes we received for specialist paint coatings. If you are thinking of using any of these wall covering firms I would urge you to contact Mussleburgh Slaters first and let them quote.

We are now arranging for further work to be done on our garage given the quality finish of the work done on the house.

Quick and efficient re-pointing job on our coping stones along with a few other minor repairs. Picked up some problems that others had missed. Friendly and professional.

Excellent rough casting / Harling work by Mark & his team. Completed at the time stated and the cost stated.

Quality workmanship at excellent price. Highly recommended and would use the services of this company again .

Mark and his team replaced all of the harling on our house, did a bit of chimney repair work and painted all our guttering and down pipes. We are really happy with the work that was done and we are getting lots of feedback about how good our house looks. They worked away and were very tidy - the 2 small problems we had at the start of the job were fixed straightaway without any argument. Compared to some other similar jobs I've seen recently our's looks far better and I'd have no hesitation in recommending Mark.

Mark and his team did a range of work, from roofing repairs to plastering. Mark was polite, helpful and very quick to respond. All tradesmen produced top quality work and very little mess! Excellent communication throughout. Would not hesitate to use Mark and his team for any further work.

Over the last 15 years or so, they have done our slates, roof, gutters, rones and chimneys. A likeable bunch of lads. Never had any need to look further . . .

Can't recommend highly enough, did a wonderful job in October. Went above and beyond in after care. Would not hesitate to use these guys again. Thank you.

Musselburgh Slaters replaced 2 Velux type windows for me, Mark organised For Gary (a joiner) to come which saved me looking for my own joiner. They arrived when they said they would and had the job done in half a day. They cleared up after themselves and we are very pleased with the finished job. Thanks

Mark and his experienced team did a tremendous job fitting a new dry ridge system and general overhaul. Unforeseen problems arose but communication was good and I am delighted with result and price. Would recommend unreservedly,

Mark and his team did an excellent job fitting a UPVC facia on my dormer window. Communication was good and the work was carried out quickly and efficiently. Would definitely use this company again.

Highly recommend Mark and his team. Very professional, reliable service and outstanding workmanship on my roof and replacement gutters.

Mark and his team removed and rebuilt chimney stack and also rendered around the bottom of the house.
They were friendly, reliable, hard working and tidied up at the end of each day. They also did additional work which was not in the original quote.
Would definitely use them again.

Excellent service by Mark, he came out and investigated my roof issues when he said he would, clearly explained what tge issues were and managed to get the work done within the next week. Thoroughly recommended!

We called Mark after a storm damaged our roof resulting in some tiles needing replaced. Mark arrived promptly and gave an honest assessment of what needed done immediately and some optional preventative work to prevent further damage to other parts of the roof. Mark was also happy to fit a couple of decorative finials that every other tradesman I had spoken to said was too difficult.

The men were friendly, efficient and completed the job to a high standard. Garden was immaculate when they left with all debris removed.

Really pleased with the job done, and the really competitive price. I intend to use Mark again in the future.

Mark did a big job for me on my roof 3 years ago. Yesterday I noticed one of the panes of my skylight had slipped and there was a gap. I phoned him and he said he able to come this morning. Arrived at 9.30 and the job was done! I have always found him easy to deal with and if he says he will do something, he does it when he says and you are not left waiting and worrying! Happy to recommend this company.

Complete overhaul of house and garage roofs including re-pointing of ridge, replacement of lead flashing, complete renewal of flat roofs, new rhones, installation of PVC facings on house roof and garage roof: We were very pleased by the work done by the slaters.  They came out immediately when we had a leak in the lead flashing, did a temporary repair there and then.  We asked for quotes for all of the work, which we got.  They arrived on time, worked diligently, were always friendly and courteous.  No time was wasted.  We saw photos of the work at every stage and are very satisfied by the result.
