Taking a few days away with the family this weekend.

We're heading off with four other families for our annual getaway - something we've been doing for years now.

All the kids go to school together, and honestly, it's become one of the highlights of the year. Watching them grow up together, the parents becoming genuinely good friends... this is what being part of the Perth community looks like.

Now, to address the elephant in the room! We have all been there, trying to get a nice family picture, and the kids are having none of it. Our daughter is sulking because she doesn't want her picture taken and our son is being a wee prankster 😂

But the reason I love this photo is because it real!

I'll be back Sunday, but the team knows the drill if any emergencies come up while I'm away. (Though hopefully everyone's roofs behave themselves and we all just enjoy the weekend!)

One thing I've realised over the years: The best part of running MF Roofing isn't just the work itself - it's being embedded in this community. Protecting the homes of people we know. Kids whose parents we see at school. Neighbours who become friends.

If you've been meaning to get your roof sorted before winter properly arrives, I'll be back in the office Monday ready to help.

This week: Failed roofs, difficult conversations, and telling people things they don't want to hear.

Tomorrow afternoon: None of that. 🐾

Saturday's are for muddy paws, Scottish countryside, and remembering why I run a local business in the first place.

The roofs will still need fixing on Monday. The autumn colours won't wait.

Balance matters.

Our Story

Welcome to home of MF Roofing.

I established MF Roofing in march 2012 with the aim to best, strive for excellence and to be the go to company for anyone looking to have roofing work carried out.

When i started back in 2012, i maxed out my overdraft and with a little bit of financial help from my parnter and my mum, i was able to buy a van, some tools and ladders, bascially enough to get the business up and running. I managed secured my first job through a friend i played golf with, they were looking to have the roof replaced at the place where he work. Previous too me taking the big plunge into the world of self employment, i worked with a company for 8 years and that is also where i served my apprenticeship and continued working for the next 4 years. In that time i was able to gain a great knowledge working on range of different property types. It was during those early of my career that i developed my love and passion for older properties and listed building, learning what they need and require to preserve their history and character. From that point i knew that i wanted to specialise in listed properties.

The first few weeks and months were definatley challanging trying go get the business up and running, to make people aware of who i was and what i was all about and establish a customer base. Through persiverance and hard work, it was starting to pay off, and with more work start to appear on the books it was time to make my first brave move towards growth and expansion by employ a member of staff.

In January 2013 i started my first apprentice (who still continues to work with me to this date). Bryan is actually my brother-in-law and he had not long left school, he was actually looking for a joinery apprecticeship at the time, but he was unable to get one, so i suggested he come work with me too see if he would enjoy roofing. Low and behold he really enjoyed it. He’s a practical person, amoung some of his hobbies are making walking stick.

As the business continuted to grow, mid way through 2016, i took the descion to add a second apprentice. I took this decsion to offer a position to a young person, as opposed to someone who had some experience, one reason i came to this decsion was prior to taking a second my second apprentice, i employed a so called “tradesman” but in the few weeks i had employed this person, i had more issues and complaints from customers 4 weeks, than i had in the 4 years previous. It was at this point, i knew the way forward was to take on apprentices and train them up to be top tradesamen, show them how slating and roofing should really be done. There is a lot to be said for investing time and energy into young people.

Throught the years since i started MF Roofing, i have always tried to keep up with all the latest trends and standards, so we are at the cutting edge within our sector. Even though not much has changedover the past hundred years in principle of how traditional slating methods are carried out, new building practices can be applied to make tradtional slating current and up to date. Tradtional slating itself is almost becoming a dying art, there are very little companies left, who fully know how to carry out this sort of work. Partly this is due to ecomonic pressures, people wanting work carried out as fast and cheaply as possible. Carrying out work to a roof using old reclaimed slate, with traditional methods is neither fast nor cheap. Having said all that, i was to ensure that i can carry on and pass on these old school ways of working for a few more generations to come.
