Old stone, slate and wind off the Ochils
Stirling’s roofs are older than most in the Forth Valley. Sandstone terraces, slate that has done a century of service and tall stone chimneys all need a roofer who repairs with care instead of reaching straight for a replacement. That is how Kerse Roofing & Building work across Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Bannockburn and Dunblane: find the actual fault, fix it properly, and give you a written price before anything starts. As roofers covering Stirling from Laurieston, we have been doing this since 2009.
Walk through the older parts of Stirling and Bridge of Allan and most of what you see is stone walls, slate roofs and chimneys that were built to last but now need looking after. Slates slip when their nails corrode. Mortar on ridges and chimney stacks weathers away. Lead flashings crack where a stack meets the roof. Most of those faults can be put right without touching the rest of the roof, which is usually the far cheaper answer.
Further out, Bannockburn and Cambusbarron mix traditional cottages with later housing, and Raploch, Cornton and St Ninians have plenty of post-war and newer homes with concrete tiles, flat-roofed extensions and roughcast walls. Wherever you are, weather coming down off the Ochils and along the Forth hits exposed gables and chimney stacks hardest, so those are the first places we check.
We are honest about distance. Stirling is around 12 miles from our Laurieston base, roughly 20 minutes by van, so we book Stirling surveys and jobs properly, arrive when we say, and fit urgent leaks in on the day wherever the diary allows.

Our roofing services in Stirling
Most of our Stirling work falls into a few areas:
- Slate and tile repairs: matching replacement slates, refixing slipped ones, re-bedding ridges and sorting leaking valleys on older roofs.
- Chimney repairs: repointing stone stacks, new flaunching and fresh lead flashings where damp is getting in around the chimney.
- Roughcasting and harling: re-coating tired or cracked walls, a job we have already carried out in Stirling.
- Re-roofing: when a slate or tile roof really has reached the end, a full strip and renew with a clear written quote.
- Flat roofs: felt, GRP or EPDM for the extensions, garages and dormers common on Stirling’s newer estates.
- Conservatory roofs, guttering and roofline, roof cleaning, lintel repairs, general building and emergency callouts for storm damage.

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!

Questions from Stirling homeowners
Can you repair an old slate roof in Stirling rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Plenty of older Stirling roofs have years left in them, and matching in replacement slates, refixing slipped ones and re-bedding ridges usually costs far less than a new roof. We will tell you honestly if a repair will last, and only suggest re-roofing when it genuinely makes sense.
My stone chimney is letting in damp. What usually causes it?
On Stirling’s older houses it is most often worn pointing on the stack, cracked flaunching around the pots, or tired lead flashing where the chimney meets the slates. We check all three, explain what we find, and repair the actual cause rather than patching the ceiling stain inside.
Do you do roughcasting and harling on Stirling houses?
Yes. We re-coat tired or cracked walls and repair blown patches, and we have already roughcast a home in Stirling. The wall is prepared properly first so the new finish bonds well and stands up to the weather coming off the Ochils and the Forth.
Do you cover Bridge of Allan and Dunblane?
Yes. Bridge of Allan and Dunblane are both within our area, along with Bannockburn, Cambusbarron and the whole of Stirling. We have worked in Dunblane already, on a conservatory roof and new guttering, and we plan journeys from Laurieston so we arrive when we say we will.
How far away are you?
Our base is in Laurieston, Falkirk, around 12 miles from Stirling, which is roughly 20 minutes by van. We book Stirling surveys at a time that suits you, and for urgent leaks we offer same-day callouts wherever the diary allows. We are not a 24-hour service.
