Whether you’ve spotted a few slipped tiles, noticed damp patches on your ceiling, or need an entirely new roof, our experienced team delivers lasting solutions. We work with all roofing materials—slate, tiles, flat roofs, and lead work—ensuring your home stays protected whatever the weather brings.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing
When repairs are no longer cost-effective, a complete re-roof provides decades of protection. We strip existing coverings back to the rafters, inspect and repair structural timbers where necessary, install modern breathable membrane, and fit new battens and roofing materials to current standards. Re-roofing often improves thermal performance significantly—adding insulation during the project reduces heat loss and energy bills. We work with all roofing materials including natural slate, concrete tiles, clay tiles, and modern lightweight alternatives. Properties across Bracebridge Heath, Waddington, and North Hykeham trust us for complete re-roofing projects that transform aging roofs into weathertight, energy-efficient protection lasting thirty years or more.
Roof Repairs
From single slipped tiles to storm damage affecting larger areas, we repair roofs of all types across Lincoln. Our experienced roofers diagnose problems accurately, identifying not just visible damage but underlying issues that could cause future problems. We replace broken or missing tiles, rebed and repoint ridge tiles, repair flashing around chimneys and abutments, fix valley gutters, and address any issue compromising your roof’s integrity. Quick response prevents water ingress causing expensive secondary damage to ceilings, walls, and timbers below. Properties throughout Lincoln—from Victorian terraces around the Cathedral Quarter to modern estates across Birchwood—rely on our prompt, professional repair service.
Flat Roof Repairs & Installationge
Flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers, and outbuildings require specialist attention. Traditional felt roofs deteriorate over time, developing cracks, blisters, and splits that allow water penetration. We repair existing flat roofs where viable and replace failed coverings with modern, durable alternatives. EPDM rubber roofing offers exceptional longevity—typically 40-50 years—with excellent resistance to UV degradation and temperature extremes. GRP fibreglass provides seamless, hard-wearing surfaces ideal for accessible flat roofs. We assess each situation and recommend the most appropriate solution for your property. Properties across Skellingthorpe, Washingborough, and Cherry Willingham commonly feature flat-roofed extensions benefiting from modern replacement coverings.
Chimney Repairs & Lead Work
Chimneys and lead flashings are common sources of roof leaks. Exposed to the worst weather, chimney stacks suffer from eroded pointing, cracked render, damaged flaunching, and deteriorating flashings. We repair and repoint chimney stacks, replace lead flashings, rebuild defective flaunching around pots, and address structural issues where stacks have become unstable. Lead work requires traditional skills—we form new flashings, repair valley gutters, and address any lead-related roofing issues. Lincoln’s older properties around West Parade, the Cathedral Quarter, and Monks Road area often feature original chimneys requiring sympathetic repair using traditional materials and methods that preserve their character.
