Old burgh roofs and newer estates
Slipped slates above a High Street flat, a chimney stack weathering by the loch, a garage roof that has started to pond on one of the newer estates: Linlithgow roofs vary as much as the town does. Kerse Roofing & Building are roofers covering Linlithgow and the wider EH49 area from our yard in Laurieston, roughly 10 miles east along the M9. We repair, re-roof and convert conservatory roofs across the burgh, and we give a straight answer about what your roof really needs.
Linlithgow is a royal burgh, and its older streets show it. Around the Cross, the palace and the loch, many homes are traditional stone with natural slate, tall chimneys and lead valleys and flashings. Those roofs rarely need replacing wholesale. What they usually need is slates refixed, a valley relined or a stack repointed before the water finds its way into a ceiling.
Out past the centre it changes. Linlithgow Bridge, Bridgend and the estates towards the Bo’ness road are mostly later housing with concrete tiles, uPVC roofline, flat-roofed garages and extensions, and plenty of conservatories. Different roofs, different faults, and we handle both kinds every week.

Our roofing services in Linlithgow
Here is the work Linlithgow homeowners most often call us for, starting with the jobs older houses in the town need:
- Slate roof repairs: loose or broken slates refixed and replaced, matched to the existing roof as closely as we can.
- Chimney repairs: repointing, new flaunching, leadwork and flashings around stacks, the usual source of leaks on older homes.
- Conservatory roofs: solid, fully insulated tiled roofs to replace cold glass or polycarbonate, plus leak repairs on any conservatory.
- Flat roofs: felt, GRP or EPDM on the garages, extensions and dormers common on the newer streets.
- Re-roofing: a full strip and new roof when repairs no longer make sense, priced in writing first.
- Emergency roof repairs: same-day callouts after storms, when a leak cannot wait.
- Also guttering, fascias and soffits, moss removal, roughcasting, lintel repairs and general building.

I am most pleased with the workmanship and work ethic of the Kerse team who replaced my flat roof. The team were on time and incredibly hard working, neat, most polite and anxious to please. Though the job got delayed two days due to rain, they more than made up for it by completing work in less than 2 days. I would fully recommend Kerse roofing to anyone looking for excellent service!
Why Linlithgow homeowners choose Kerse
- We know older slate roofs. Refixing and matching slates, relining valleys and dealing with chimney leadwork is everyday work for us, not a one-off.
- Repair before replace. On a traditional roof, a careful repair often buys many more years. We will tell you when it will, and when it will not.
- Close enough to come back. Ten miles along the M9 means surveys at a time that suits you and quick follow-ups if you need them.
- Insured and guaranteed. Fully insured, with workmanship guaranteed for up to 10 years depending on the job.
- Straightforward pricing. A free survey, a written quote within 24 hours and nothing to pay until the work is finished.
Questions from Linlithgow homeowners
Can you repair the natural slate roofs on older Linlithgow houses?
Yes. Traditional slate roofs around the Cross, the palace and the loch are regular work for us. We refix slipped slates, replace broken ones and match them to your roof as closely as we can. Repair comes first; we only suggest re-roofing if it is truly needed.
My leak seems to come from around the chimney. What is usually wrong?
On older Linlithgow homes it is often tired lead flashing, cracked flaunching at the top of the stack, or worn pointing letting rain into the brickwork. We check the whole stack, explain what we find and quote for the repair that fixes the cause rather than patching the stain inside.
Do you replace conservatory roofs in Linlithgow?
Yes. We swap glass or polycarbonate roofs for a solid, fully insulated tiled roof, making the room usable year round, and we repair leaks on all types of conservatory roof. We have already completed conservatory work in Linlithgow. Any building warrant needed is arranged by the homeowner.
Do you cover Linlithgow Bridge, Bridgend and Bo'ness?
Yes. We cover all of EH49, including Linlithgow Bridge, Bridgend and the Bo’ness road side, plus Philpstoun, Kingscavil, Bo’ness and Polmont. If you are near Linlithgow and unsure whether you are in our area, ask when you call and we will tell you straight away.
What happens if a storm damages my roof?
Call or WhatsApp us a photo as early as you can. We offer same-day callouts during working hours, not a 24-hour service, to make the roof safe and weathertight. We then quote for a proper permanent repair, and if you are claiming on insurance we can give you a written quote for your insurer.
How far away are you?
Our base is in Laurieston, Falkirk, about 10 miles from Linlithgow along the M9. That is close enough for us to survey at a time that suits you, carry out the work without long travel days and come back quickly if anything needs looking at after the job.
