We cover Blairgowrie, Rattray and the surrounding Strathmore countryside — traditional stone-and-slate houses in town, and farm buildings, steadings and sheeted roofs out of it. Two quite different trades, and we do both.
Blairgowrie and Rattray face each other across the Ericht, and between them they hold a solid stock of Victorian and Edwardian stone housing under natural slate — the same construction as Perth’s older streets, on sarking, with the same set of problems now arriving. Around that there’s mid-century and modern housing with tile roofs, plus bungalows and estate development.
What makes Blairgowrie genuinely different from anywhere else we cover is what surrounds it.
Blairgowrie sits in the middle of one of the most productive stretches of farmland in Scotland — the berry country and the wider Strathmore belt. That means a large volume of roofing that has nothing to do with houses:
Blairgowrie sits in the Strathmore belt, surrounded by farmland with roofing distinct from standard residential housing:
Strict Safety Standard: A great many agricultural and older industrial roofs across Strathmore are clad in asbestos cement sheeting.
We will identify it and we will not disturb it. Asbestos removal is a licensed specialist trade — we’ll refer you to a licensed contractor. Once cleared, we reroof safely. We do not cut corners, ever.
Cost-Effective Solutions: Large commercial gutters on agricultural and industrial buildings can very often be relined rather than replaced.
This provides a fraction of the cost and disruption compared to full replacement — worth asking about before getting a full replacement quote. See commercial roofing.
Town Property Repairs: Handling aging townhouses and residential properties:
Rural & Commercial Solutions: Specialized maintenance for surrounding areas:
Everywhere: Strathmore is open country and it catches the weather.
See storm damage repairs — we provide full photographic evidence and written reports for insurance claims, which matters as much for a barn as it does for a bungalow.
Leaks traced to the actual source, not the stain on the ceiling
Full strip and reroof, new sarking, proper ventilation

Natural and reclaimed slate, matched to the original
Repointing, rebuilding, proper lead flashings
Fascias, soffits, downpipes, eaves ventilation
Make-safe first, then the repair, with insurance reports
By hand. Never pressure-washed.
Inveralmond, Ruthvenfield, Arran Road and the city’s units
We do farm roofs as well as house roofs. Most domestic roofers won’t touch a large-span sheeted roof and most industrial contractors won’t come out for a slipped slate.
We’ll do either with complete commitment.
We’re straight about asbestos. We identify it, we don’t disturb it, and we tell you what has to happen next.
No shortcuts, ever.
We give written condition reports.
Useful for budgeting a steading conversion, for a dilapidations discussion, or for putting a figure on what a farm roof has left in it.
Yes, and the surrounding villages out toward Alyth, Coupar Angus and the glens.
Yes — sheeting, gutter lining, and traditional slate or pantile on steading conversions. Tell us what the building is when you call so we bring the right kit.
We can’t remove it — that’s a licensed specialist trade — but we’ll identify it, tell you exactly what you’re dealing with, refer you to a licensed contractor, and then reroof once it’s been cleared safely.
Very often, yes. Lining an existing gutter is far cheaper and far less disruptive than replacing it. Worth having us look before you accept a quote for a full replacement.
