🏠 Roofer in Lasswade, Midlothian

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 Lasswade

Lasswade is a historic village in the North Esk valley, connected to Bonnyrigg by the bridge over the river but retaining its own character.

It was a fashionable retreat in the 18th and 19th centuries — Sir Walter Scott lived here early in his married life, and De Quincey wrote at Mavis Bush cottage nearby.

The village has a conservation area centred on the old kirkyard and the steep descent to the river, with mature woodland lining the valley.

Lasswade shares many practical amenities with Bonnyrigg but has the feel of a distinct, quieter settlement on the valley's eastern slope.

About Midlothian

Midlothian is a compact council area immediately south of Edinburgh, stretching from the city bypass to the edge of the Scottish Borders.

It takes in the valleys of the North and South Esk rivers, the northern slopes of the Pentland Hills, and a string of former mining communities that have reinvented themselves as commuter towns and growing residential centres.

Dalkeith is the administrative centre, but Bonnyrigg is the most populous settlement — and Penicuik, set against the Pentlands, has the feel of a self-contained town in its own right.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Newtongrange, Gorebridge, and Eskbank to Edinburgh Waverley, and has driven significant housing growth across the region.

Midlothian is one of the fastest-growing local authority areas in Scotland, attracting families and professionals who want proximity to Edinburgh without the city price tag.
