Re-roofing and new roofs in Crowland
Full re-roofs built for exposed fen weather, stripped to the rafters and finished with mechanically fixed ridge and verge.
A new roof in Crowland has a harder job than a new roof in a sheltered town, and it should be built accordingly. Getting the detail right at the ridge and the gable is what decides whether it is still sound in twenty years or being patched again in five.
When a roof here has genuinely finished
- Repairs recurring every winter, in a different spot each time
- Tiles crumbling or delaminating across a whole slope rather than in patches
- Battens gone soft, which is why tiles keep slipping however often they are re-set
- Felt perished at the eaves so water runs behind the gutter
- Daylight through the boarding when you look up from inside the loft
Built for the wind
The covering comes off to the rafters, rotten timber is replaced rather than covered over, and the roof goes back with a breathable membrane and treated battens. Ridge and verge are fixed mechanically as a dry system rather than bedded in mortar, and on an exposed fen roof that is not an upsell, it is the difference between a detail that lasts and one that starts washing out the first bad winter. Tile clipping on the exposed slope is worth discussing for the same reason, and we will explain what it does before you decide.

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.
Brilliant work! Reasonable price a friendly. Recommend to anyone. Sorted out my roof after 3 companies turned me down.
Amazing roof repair everything finished to a high standard,good communication and reasonable priced would definetly recommend.
Before you ring
Re-Roofing & New Roofs in Crowland: common questions
Is a dry ridge really worth the extra on a new roof?
On an exposed roof here, yes, and we would say so even if you only wanted the roof recovered. Mortar out on the fen is the part that fails first, and building the new roof without it is what stops you paying for the same repair every few years.
How long will a re-roof take?
Days rather than weeks for a typical house, depending on size, pitch and weather. You will get a realistic answer at the quote, and we will not start a slope we cannot make watertight before the day ends.
Do I need to move out while it happens?
No. The work is outside and above you. It is noisy while the old covering comes off and we will tell you which days those are.
What if you find rot in the timber?
You are shown it and told what it adds before anything is done. Nothing is covered over quietly and nothing is added to the bill without your agreement.
