Another roof restoration completed by the team in Edinburgh.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This was a substantial project involving the complete renewal of the roof covering, leadwork and cupola, helping secure the building for many years to come.

Works carried out included:

✔ Complete strip and renewal of the existing roofing system

✔ New breathable roofing membrane throughout

✔ Reclaimed Scotch slates to the front and rear elevations

✔ New Cupa Heavy H3 natural slates to the internal roof slopes

✔ New 3-layer felt system to the central gutter section

✔ New lead-lined cupola platform

✔ New lead watergates

✔ New lead cappings to wall heads and parapet details

✔ Comprehensive renewal of leadwork throughout

✔ Manufacture and installation of a brand-new traditional timber cupola

A great effort from everyone involved and a fantastic end result. It’s always rewarding to see these traditional Edinburgh roofs brought back to life while maintaining the original character of the building.✅

This week’s theme seems to be the smaller rooflights and cupolas. ✅

Not every project is a giant cupola overlooking Edinburgh’s skyline — sometimes it’s the smaller projects that make the biggest difference.

Swipe to see the transformation.

The existing rooflight had reached the end of its serviceable life after years of exposure to the Scottish weather. Our team carefully removed the original structure and installed a bespoke replacement rooflight complete with modern double-glazed units and traditional lead detailing.

One of the biggest advantages of upgrading older rooflights is the significant improvement in thermal performance. Modern double glazing helps dramatically reduce heat loss while still allowing natural daylight to flood the space below, creating a brighter, more comfortable living environment.👏

The finished result provides improved energy efficiency, enhanced weather protection, and a clean, modern appearance while remaining sympathetic to the character of the building.

A small rooflight, but a big improvement.⚡️

Another traditional Edinburgh roof cupola fully transformed by The Edinburgh Cupola Company.✅

The original cupola had reached the end of its lifespan, with deteriorated timber, failed glazing, and ongoing water ingress issues affecting the structure.

We carefully dismantled the existing cupola and manufactured a brand new traditional replacement, designed to retain the original character while improving durability, weather protection, and energy efficiency.

A huge transformation whilst still keeping the traditional character of the property and Edinburgh roofscape.👏

These bespoke traditional-style rooflights were manufactured with double glazed units for improved thermal efficiency and heat retention, while also incorporating traditional lead flashing methods throughout.

The new rooflights replaced an existing aluminium rooflight system which, unfortunately, had been causing ongoing leaking issues within the property.

The client wanted to return to a more traditional and proven detailing method, resulting in a much cleaner finish and a far more reliable long-term roofing solution.✅

A great little project completed by the team.👏

Traditional Edinburgh Cupola Upgrade ✅

The existing wired glass rooflight had reached the end of its serviceable life and was suffering from poor thermal performance and reduced insulation efficiency.

We supplied and installed a new bespoke double-glazed rooflight system complete with upgraded glazing, improved thermal efficiency, new perimeter detailing, and fully integrated waterproofing works.

The new installation not only transforms the appearance of the roofscape but also significantly improves insulation performance while allowing far greater levels of natural light internally.👏

What a transformation 🔨✨

The existing flat roof and cupola had completely reached the end of their lifespan, with the original roof covering heavily deteriorated and the existing cupola system failing throughout.

We carried out a full strip and replacement of the flat roof system, complete with new lead detailing and the installation of a brand new bespoke cupola manufactured and installed by The Edinburgh Cupola Company 🏛️

The finished result has completely transformed the roof both visually and thermally while maintaining a clean, traditional appearance in keeping with the building.

Another fantastic project completed in Edinburgh ☀️

The team recently installed a bespoke roof cupola along with additional rooflights to bring natural light into this beautiful traditional property.

All units were manufactured with high-performance glazing and lead detailing, designed to complement the existing architecture while improving light and ventilation inside the home.

Always great to see these installations finished on a clear day with the Edinburgh skyline in the background.

If you have an existing cupola that needs attention or are considering adding one to your property, feel free to get in touch.
