Roofers in Bathgate

Bathgate's housing runs from older stone terraces to the estates built up around the town's former industrial sites, giving us a genuine spread of slate and tile work here.

01 / ROOFING IN BATHGATE

Bathgate's town centre still has older stone-built terraces with slate roofs, while the housing that grew up around the site of the former car and truck works uses concrete tile on a larger scale. West Lothian's exposed, higher ground means wind can loosen ridge tiles and flashing faster than in more sheltered towns, so ridge and flashing checks are a regular part of the work here.
