Living Under the Ochils
Alloa sits right at the foot of the Ochil Hills, and the weather that comes off them is hard on roofs. Wind-driven rain finds its way under lifted slates and tired lead, and gutters and downpipes have to cope with heavy downpours. After storms, the jobs we’re called out to most are slipped slates, loose ridge tiles and leaking flashings around chimneys. Each of these is quick to put right if it’s caught early.
Alloa’s Housing, From Victorian Terraces to New Estates
Victorian terraces and older stone homes. Alloa’s older streets and the traditional stone cottages in Clackmannan are mostly slated, with lead valleys and stone chimneys. These roofs usually reward careful repair: matched slates, proper leadwork and repointed chimneys.
Post-war housing. Many post-war homes around the town have concrete tiled roofs that have now been on for decades. Where tiles, battens and underlay are failing across the whole roof, a re-roof is often better value than repeated patching, and we’ll tell you honestly which applies.
Modern estates in Sauchie and Tullibody. Newer homes are mostly tiled, with flat-roofed extensions and garages. Typical jobs are ridge and verge repairs, flat roof replacements and new fascias, soffits and gutters.

Alloa Roofing Questions
Which areas around Alloa do you cover?
We cover Alloa and the whole of Clackmannanshire, including Tullibody, Sauchie, Clackmannan and the surrounding villages. We also have local teams in Stirling, Falkirk and Perth.
How much does a roof repair cost in Alloa?
Minor repairs typically cost £200–£500, while a complete roof replacement usually ranges from £5,000–£15,000+ depending on size, materials and access. We inspect for free and give you a fixed written quote.
My roof only leaks in wind and heavy rain. Why?
Wind-driven rain off the Ochils gets in where normal rain won’t: under lifted slates or tiles, through split lead flashings or past worn valley linings. We find the actual entry point rather than patching where the water shows inside.
Is it worth repairing an old concrete-tiled roof?
If the problem is limited to one area, yes. If the tiles, battens and underlay are failing across the whole roof, as is common on older post-war roofs, a re-roof is usually better value than repeated repairs. We’ll show you photos and explain the options.
Do you offer emergency roof repairs in Alloa?
Yes. Call 01259 682108 if water is coming in. We’ll make the roof watertight first, then arrange a permanent repair.
What’s the best option for a leaking flat garage roof?
For most garages and extensions we recommend a single-sheet EPDM rubber roof, which has no joints across the main roof area. GRP fibreglass is a good alternative for smaller roofs.
Are you insured, and is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our roofers are fully insured and every job is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Guarantee periods depend on the work, typically 10–20 years for complete roof installations, and they’re set out in your quote.
