Roof repairs in Spalding

Most roofs do not need replacing. They need a slipped tile put back, a cracked one swapped, a leak traced to its source or a run of lead flashing renewed. That is the everyday work of roofers in Spalding, and it is usually a smaller job than people fear.

Finding the actual leak

Water is good at travelling, so the stain on your ceiling is often nowhere near the hole in your roof. We start by getting up there and looking properly, and we photograph what we find so you can see exactly what we saw. Then we explain what the roof needs, you get a price in writing, and the price quoted is the price paid. No pressure, no upselling: if it needs one tile, we say one tile.

Matching the roof you already have

Spalding's older streets keep us honest. The Victorian terraces near the town centre and the Georgian buildings along the River Welland were roofed in materials you cannot always buy new. When a tile had been discontinued, we matched replacements from a salvage yard so the repair blended in with the rest of the roof instead of announcing itself. A repair should disappear into the roof around it.

Lead work done properly

A surprising number of leaks come down to lead: flashing around chimneys, soakers under the tiles, aprons and back gutters that have split or slipped. We renew lead work rather than smearing sealant over it, because a repair that lasts is better value than one you pay for twice. Soakers, step flashing, aprons and back gutters are all part of the day job for us.

No repair too small

No repair in Spalding is too small to ring us about. A single slipped tile is worth putting back before the felt underneath starts to suffer, and a small leak caught early stays a small job. Quotes are free and in writing, every repair is guaranteed for five or ten years depending on the work, and we carry public liability and employer's liability insurance on every job.
