New Roofs in the Lincolnshire Fens

We strip the old covering off, check every rafter and purlin, replace anything that’s rotten, then rebuild it: breathable membrane, new treated battens, new tiles, fresh lead where it’s needed, and dry-fixed ridges and verges so there’s no mortar to crack and drop out in five years.

• Full strip and inspectionThe old covering comes off so we can see the timbers. Anything rotten gets replaced before a single new tile goes on.
• Breathable membraneModern breathable felt lets the roof space ventilate instead of trapping moisture against the timbers.
• New treated battensGraded, treated batten fixed to spec — the part nobody sees and the part that fails first when it’s skimped.
• Your choice of tileConcrete, clay plain tile, pantile or slate. We’ll show you what suits the property and what it does to the price.
• Dry ridge and vergeMechanically fixed rather than bedded in mortar, so it doesn’t crack, drop out or need repointing.
• New lead workChimneys, valleys and abutments dressed in proper code lead, not flashband over a crack.

• Tiles slipping or ending up in the garden after every storm
• Damp patches on upstairs ceilings or around the chimney breast
• Daylight visible through the roof from inside the loft
• Sagging along the ridge or a dip in the roof line
• Mortar dropping out of the ridge or verge
• The roof is 50+ years old and has never been touched
