About Roofers
A roofer repairs and replaces roofs - fixing missing or broken tiles, repointing chimney stacks, replacing lead flashings, and installing new roofs on extensions or full replacements.
Finding a reliable local roofer before you have a problem is always a good idea.
Be wary of anyone who cold-knocks after a storm - reputable roofers don't need to.
About Slamannan
Slamannan is a village on the high ground south of Falkirk, sitting at around 200 metres above sea level on the plateau between the Forth and Clyde valleys.
The village grew around coal mining and iron working, and the Slamannan Railway, opened in 1840, was one of Scotland's earliest mineral railways, built to carry coal north to the canal system.
Today Slamannan has a quiet, rural character with a main street of stone-built houses, a primary school, and a community hall, surrounded by open moorland and farmland.
The elevated position gives the village a bracing, exposed feel quite different from the lowland towns to the north, with wide views over the surrounding countryside.

About Falkirk
Falkirk is a council area in the heart of Scotland's central belt, sitting between Edinburgh and Glasgow with the Firth of Forth to the north and the foothills of the Campsie Fells to the west.
The town of Falkirk is the administrative centre and largest settlement, but the area also takes in Grangemouth — Scotland's largest petrochemical complex and one of its busiest ports — along with the historic burgh of Bo'ness on the Forth shoreline and a string of smaller towns and villages.
Falkirk's history runs deep: two of the most significant battles in the Wars of Independence were fought here, and the Antonine Wall — the Roman Empire's north-western frontier — crosses the district and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The area has reinvented itself around modern landmarks: the Falkirk Wheel, the world's only rotating boat lift, and the Kelpies, two 30-metre steel horse-head sculptures at the Helix park, draw visitors from around the world.
Transport links are excellent — the M9 and M876 connect Falkirk to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling, and two railway lines serve the area — making it one of the most accessible and affordable parts of the central belt.
