What the public record says
Highlights
"GS Roofing replaced the original roof on the house which was 75 years old, stripping everything off down to the joists and then building up from there. It was a privilege and a pleasure to watch this accomplished team work. They worked intensely and professionally for over two weeks, regardless of the heat or rain. The process from the initial tear down to the final touches was a wonder to behold. The result was a highly functional roof that is also a piece of art. Every detail is perfect. I can't stop looking at it and appreciating the value that's been added to the house. I was sad for the process to be over. Unfortunately, it will probably be at least another 75 years before this house needs another roof. You would be lucky to have GS Roofing put on a roof for you. I couldn't recommend anyone for anything more highly."
"GS Roofing have done a first class job replacing my roof and they were quick and on time with the job. I would definitely recommend them to others."
"We used GS Roofing in Kirkintilloch to re-roof my partner’s house. Despite asking for all rotted wood to be replaced with wood, they used OSB board instead of treated timber for the fillets. These were said to be unsuitable by Building Control and three other roofers we spoke to said they would not use that material because it would fail prematurely. We have also spoken to CORC who also condemned the use of OSB board for fillets. We emailed GS Roofing three times to replace the fillets, telling them we would take legal action if they did not. They have refused. We are now in the process of taking GS Roofing to court to make them pay for the cost of rectifying their workmanship."

We couldn’t be more delighted with the quality service we received from Gordy and his amazing team at GS Roofing! They worked tirelessly in all weathers this past couple of weeks fully replacing our roof – doing so to a very high standard and they made it look effortless. They worked very tidily too – leaving everything as they found it which is no mean feat given the size of the job. Their attention to detail, professionalism and customer service has been first class from start to finish! Huge thanks to Gordy and team!
The work was completed in a day and a half. Workers were efficient, pleasant and tidy. The job was completed on schedule and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. A very satisfactory outcome.
We required an overhaul of our slate roof on our 1930s house. Having involvement with property ourselves we know the real value of having a job done well. Our initial thoughts were that our slates may need full renewal but testament to Gordon Smith's integrity and professionalism he confirmed, absolutely, that existing slates/roof was in generally fine order and that a full overhaul was all that was required. His team of four were on site for 7 days, including a full Saturday, and could not have been more timeous, friendly (explaining as they went), and tidy. Cannot fault them nor the finished work - the roof looks great. Felt, strongly, that the price for the work done, and the quality of it, to be more than fair. Cannot recommend Gordon Smith and his team at GS Roofing strongly enough. I would not go by them and will tell others, as I have already done.
Professional, prompt response to my enquiry. Gordon was helpful and happy to happy to answer my questions. After assessing my roof and providing me with an accurate estimate, his team replaced a quantity of missing and slipped slates, repaired soffits and cleaned valleys and gutters. Clean, tidy job and would thoroughly recommend them.
Gordon and Pamela Smith plus their team of skilled professionals at GS Roofing have done their customary excellent job replacing some displaced slates on our roof. Very much appreciated by us as always.
If you are contemplating replacing your roof, I suggest you should look no further than GS Roofing Ltd. Ours is a 1930s bungalow original with rosemary tiles. We were hesitant to take on a roof job again, after our last replacement in 1985, which was disastrous. The constant hastle of leaks/repairs compelled us to seek a firm we could trust to meet our strict requirements. We are so glad we discovered GS Roofing Ltd. The lead man on the job is also the owner and provided a mind boggling efficiency looking after the site and guiding the troops and yes, he was both working on the job and overseeing the most excellent craftsmanship possible. Organisation of delivery of materials and removal of skips really felt like magic. The company has clearly been very selective in employing positive, careful roofers. Clear communication was a real bonus. Pamela at head office played a vital part in the smooth running of the project. Her interpersonal skills are quite delightful. Anyway, if you are in need of a watertight and attractive new roof: GS Roofing Ltd - simply the best.
Clear information, quotes, photographs and communication. Replaced the rotted rafter ends and came to do the job as soon as they were free which we appreciated when our usual company discovered the extent of the damage was beyond a soffit repair. A great team who work well together with a manager who is involved and leads. Tidy, put down tarps on ours and next doors drive to keep the place safe and clean. People in the street coming by to say what great work. Will recommend.
Excellent work, very professional and friendly. Will do the job as soon as possible, no stalling or faffing. Highly recommend Gordon and his team. Will do emergency calls outs too.
Have used GS Roofing several times, once for a complete new roof and other times for emergency repairs. Service is always excellent as is the quality of work. Would highly recommend.
After the big storm on Friday 24th January 2025 in Central Scotland, I noticed the plastic apex cup had become dislodged on our extension roof and the ridge clip had come off. The next morning, I emailed GS Roofing saying we had a small roof repair job. I was not expecting such a quick response as I realised they probably would have a lot more big jobs to do. So I was amazed when I heard the two guys working on the roof on the morning of Sunday 26th January. They did a very good job. I also asked the guy about some pointing work that might need to be done and he took a photo to get a quote. I was really pleased with how quickly the firm came out. We have used them in the past with bigger jobs and we have always been pleased. I would intend using them again in the future. Very appreciative of their work and service. Thank you.
Can't thank Gordon and his team enough. Came ahead of schedule and all work completed in one day. Tidy and clean workers. All broken tiles cleared up and taken away. Good communication. Would not hesitate to recommend this company.
I had a few tiles blow off my roof during Storm Éowyn. I contacted Gordon and his team of roofers came round after a few days. I provided photos of the damage and the repairs were done to the agreed budget. Everyone I contacted were helpful and polite. The work carried out was done to a high quality. Highly recommended.
GS Roofing installed our new roof a couple of years ago. It was slightly damaged in the recent storm in Scotland. We contacted GS Roofing's Gordon Smith who took note of our problem, asked for a photo, called us to confirm the work required and stated the price. They then arrived to attend to the work as promised and dealt with it quickly and efficiently. We are satisfied customers
Gordon and his team undertook a near-full re-roof at my home. Scotch slate, cast iron gutters, some flat roofing and a lot of repair/replacement to rotted timbers. A big job done quickly and well, with clear communication etc throughout. And a fully cleared, tidied work site afterwards. All in all a great work.
Sterling service; from initial contact to job-completion and everything in-between. G.S. Roofing Ltd are faultless in their application and understanding of customer requirements! An urgent job well done, thank you guys.
Post storm damage; roughcast from apex of a wall with little access. A challenge for sure but taken on and completed " with a smile" in spite of the difficulties. Previous customer and that says it all.
Needed a winter check and removal of moss from a flat roof. GS Roofing listened to my concerns around possible dampness coming in to the building as a result of faulty flashing. Turned out to be a separate problem which they will fix in better weather. Clear, concise and prompt. V good reputation in our neighbourhood. Bill turned out to be much lower than expected.
