Altitude Roofing Edinburgh

Altitude was founded in 2014 by Craig Semple. After years working in Edinburgh roofing, Craig had seen the same problem on every job: contractors hiring scaffold and access equipment, then passing the cost — plus the wait — to the homeowner. He started Altitude with one principle: own the equipment. The cherry picker and rope access gear sit in our yard, ready to go. That single decision changes everything downstream — quotes are £400–£800 lower than scaffold-based competitors, jobs start within 1–2 weeks instead of 3–4, and we control the schedule because no third party does. Ten years on, we're a five-person Edinburgh team that has completed over 500 jobs across the city — Victorian tenements in Marchmont, Georgian townhouses in the New Town, post-war semis in Corstorphine, harbourside flats in Leith, conservation-area listed buildings in Stockbridge. We've worked with most of Edinburgh's factors and conservation officers. We've seen most of what Edinburgh roofs throw at us. And we've kept the same principle: own equipment, own team, honest quoting. We're not the cheapest roofers in Edinburgh. We're the most honestly priced. And once you've seen the photographic survey we send within 24 hours of a free site visit, you'll understand the difference.
