Rope Access Roofing Edinburgh
No-Scaffold Roofing, Done Safely
Scaffolding a tenement or a tall, awkward roof is expensive and slow, and for shared buildings it often means agreeing costs with neighbours. IRATA rope access removes that hurdle on many Edinburgh properties, letting us reach the roof safely without a full scaffold.
Our certified team carries out repairs, inspections and maintenance at height, which can take a significant cost out of your project and get the work done sooner. Where scaffold genuinely is needed, we will tell you honestly at the survey.
- IRATA certified rope access, no scaffold costs on many Edinburgh jobs

"The Past and Present team were friendly and really helpful to sort our garage roof quickly and prevent further flooding. Keith was also great to point out some other recommendations but just as advice and not pushy to force us into anything. Highly recommend."

"After having issues with the slates falling off my roof, I contacted past and present roofing and within the same day they were out having a look and within a couple days they were back out and fixed the missing slates, fast, reliable and excellent professional company. Would definitely recommend and will be using again if any issues ever occur with my roof again."

"A quick phone call with Keith and he turned up in under an hour. An itemised quotation was sent over that evening and the boys were on site the following morning. The work was carried out to a high standard and the site left clean and tidy. If you need a trustworthy and reliable roofer in Edinburgh this is the one."

"From beginning to end, it was a pleasure dealing with this company. The initial inspection was carried out by drone so I received my estimate with detailed pictures. They arrived on time, completed all works in a few days, were courteous and very tidy and removed all debris."
Willie Macfarlane
Verified Trusted Trader Review
"We had 2 leaks that another 3 companies previously couldn't identify or fix. Past and present carried out a full roof survey and pin pointed the area causing the issue. We've had numerous storms and heavy rain since with no recurring issues."
