Curious about roofing but don’t know where to start? Whether you're in Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Dunfermline, or anywhere across Fife, we’ve got the answers. Here’s a no-nonsense, highly-informative roofing Q&A from your friendly local experts at Fife-Roofers.
Roofing doesn’t have to be over your head—unless it’s professionally installed, of course!
What are the signs I need a new roof?
If your roof is over 20 years old, you’re seeing sagging, water stains on your ceilings, or frequent leaks during Fife’s famously wet winters, it might be time. Tiles slipping out of place or visible moss growth are also red flags. Don’t wait until your attic turns into a swimming pool—get a roof inspection now.
How long does a roof replacement take?
For an average-sized home in areas like Leven or Cupar, a full roof replacement usually takes between 2 to 4 days, depending on weather and roof complexity. We work efficiently, safely, and clean up after ourselves—no stray tiles in your flowerbeds!
Can you repair just part of my roof?
Absolutely. Spot repairs are ideal for isolated damage. If the issue is confined to one area—like after a storm hits St Andrews—you might only need a partial repair. But if damage is widespread, replacing the entire roof may be more cost-effective in the long run.
What types of roofing materials do you offer?
We specialise in durable, weather-resistant materials that suit the unpredictable Fife climate. Our offerings include slate roofing, concrete tiles, and flat roofing systems like EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass—perfect for extensions, garages, and dormers.
Are flat roofs a good idea in Scotland?
Yes—as long as they’re installed properly. Modern flat roofs are highly reliable and energy-efficient. We install flat roofing in towns like Burntisland and Rosyth with excellent drainage and insulation systems that stand up to Scottish rain and wind.
How much does a new roof cost in Fife?
It varies depending on your roof size, material choice, and whether any structural work is needed. On average, prices start from around £4,000 for small properties and go up for larger or more complex builds. We offer free quotes and transparent pricing—no surprises.
What’s included in your roofing service?
From the first call to the final inspection, we handle everything: scaffolding, waste removal, roof replacement or repairs, waterproofing, and aftercare. Our services cover residential and commercial properties across Fife, including Methil and Dalgety Bay.
Do you offer emergency roofing repairs?
Yes! Our emergency team is on call for urgent repairs, whether a sudden storm has caused tiles to fly or you’ve sprung a leak on a Sunday. We cover all of Fife and will be there when you need us most.
