Roofing Services We Provide Across East Lothian
Our service offering is broader and more specialist than most roofing contractors in this area. We carry out traditional Scotch slating, Spanish slating, roof tiling, architectural leadwork, and a full range of flat roofing systems including Sika Sarnafil single ply installations, IKO Mach One and Two systems, and three-layer felt roofing. We also provide rope access roofing using IRATA-certified techniques and IPAF-qualified powered access work for difficult or elevated roof structures.
Whether your property is a Victorian terrace in Musselburgh, a stone-built farmhouse near Haddington, or a commercial building along the East Lothian coast, we have the experience and the accreditations to handle the job safely and to a consistently high standard.
Why East Lothian Property Owners Choose Past & Present Roofing
Our accreditation stack sets us apart from most local competitors. We are Sika Sarnafil approved installers, IKO Mach One and Two certified, Lead Sheet Association (LSA) registered, IRATA rope access certified, and IPAF qualified. These are not minor credentials — they represent a genuine capability to carry out complex, specialist, and high-access roofing work that many contractors in East Lothian simply cannot take on.
Beyond the technical credentials, our customers consistently highlight clear communication, a punctual and respectful team, and fair, honest pricing. You can read their feedback on our homepage, and you can learn more about our background on our page
