Three generations of roofing knowledge on every job
Our roots in the roofing trade go back to the early 1970s. Colin Burton began learning from his father in 1982 and has led CB Roofing with the same standards ever since: turn up when you say, quote fair, do the job right and stand behind it.
That is why customers who have been let down elsewhere stay with us. Read the reviews and you will see the same words again and again: honest, reliable, fair.
Our story
No roof too tall, no repair too small
From tenement stacks four storeys up to a single slipped slate on a bungalow, we bring the right access and do it safely.
Every kind of roof, done properly
Roof Repairs & Maintenance
Slipped slates, storm damage, leaks you cannot trace. We find the fault, fix it properly and tell you honestly whether the rest of the roof has life left in it.
Read moreNew Roofs & Re-Roofing
A full strip and re-roof done the traditional Scottish way: sarking boards checked and renewed, breathable underlay, and slates or tiles fixed to last decades.
Read moreTile & Slate Roofing
Traditional slate and tile work is the heart of what we do. From Victorian villas to modern homes, we repair and renew pitched roofs with materials that suit the building.
Read moreFlat Roofing
Flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and commercial buildings, in torch-on felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, each fitted where it suits the job best.
Read moreChimney Repairs & Pointing
Lanarkshire and Glasgow chimneys take the worst of the weather. We repoint, rebuild and flash chimney stacks so water stays out of the rooms below.
Read moreGuttering & Drainage
Blocked and broken gutters put water down the face of the wall and into the house. We clear, repair and renew guttering and downpipes across the area.

I can't recommend CBR Roofing highly enough. Colin came out to view the job the same day and gave a very reasonable quote. The work was completed promptly, and we're very pleased with the results. Thanks, Colin!
After years of being overcharged for subpar work, I had lost trust in tradesmen. Then I contacted Rated People and found Colin Burton. He provided a fair quote for my leaking roof, was always on time, and did an excellent job. Thanks, Colin.
Colin was great at communicating throughout. He completed the work quickly and returned promptly after bad weather delayed progress. After being let down by multiple roofers, it was refreshing to find someone honest and reliable.
First guy quoted £1500, said we needed new window, Colin came gave us a quote of £450 and said window was fine. Colin and his colleague came back 2 days later… job done and done perfectly. Good job Colin! Highly recommended.
