Roof repairs in Holbeach

Clay pantiles cover a good share of the older roofs in Holbeach, and pantiles fail in their own particular way. They slip, they crack, and the mortar at ridge and verge washes out long before the tiles themselves give up. We put all of that right, along with slate, concrete tile and the lead flashing that keeps the joints of a roof dry.

The repairs we are called to most

• Slipped, cracked or missing tiles
• Leaks traced back to their real cause, not just the wet patch
• Lead flashing renewed around chimneys and abutments
• Ridge and verge mortar that has cracked or fallen away

Matching tiles on older roofs

The quickest way to spoil an old cottage roof is to patch it with the wrong tile. When the original has been discontinued we have gone to a salvage yard to track down the right one, so the repair blends into the rest of the roof instead of standing out from the street. On the brick cottages around Holbeach that matters, because these are roofs people actually look at.

You see what we see

Every repair starts the same way. You ring 01406 704369 or send the form, we call you back and come out for a look. We photograph what we find up there so you can see the problem for yourself, we explain what it needs in plain terms, and you get the price in writing before anything starts. Customers tell us, without being asked, that the price quoted was the price they paid.

Lead work included

A leak near a chimney is very often the lead or the mortar rather than the tiles. We renew soakers, step flashing, aprons and back gutters as part of everyday repair work, so the fix deals with the actual fault rather than covering it over.

Being based just up the road in Spalding means repairs in Holbeach of any size are worth our time. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, every repair carries our five or ten year guarantee, and we hold public liability and employer's liability insurance on every job.
