New Build Roofing Contractor In Horncastle

Considering a new roof for your home or a commercial building? It’s a significant investment, and getting it right from the start is crucial. At Foster and Son, we specialise in both pitched and flat roof installations, designed to offer superior protection and enhance your property’s appearance. For traditional homes often seen in Stamford or older parts of Spalding, a pitched roof, typically covered in tiles or slates, provides classic aesthetics and excellent drainage. We handle all aspects, from the underlying structural timber work to the final weatherproof covering.
When it comes to materials, we offer a range of options. Natural slate offers unparalleled longevity and a timeless look, perfect for heritage properties or those seeking a premium finish. Concrete and clay tiles, on the other hand, come in a vast array of profiles – from classic pantile to plain tile – and colours, providing versatility and durability. We're adept at both modern interlocking tile systems for efficiency and traditional methods required for period homes.
For flat roofs, common on extensions, garages, and commercial properties throughout Peterborough and Wisbech, we install modern, high-performance systems. Our GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) fibreglass roofs are a seamless, cold-applied system that creates a tough, joint-free finish, offering incredible durability. Alternatively, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofs, like Firestone RubberCover, are a flexible, long-lasting membrane often installed in a single sheet, known for their resilience. We also install modern torch-on felt systems – a far cry from old-fashioned pour-and-roll, these multi-layer systems with durable mineral cap sheets provide excellent waterproofing.
For premium architectural features, like on bay windows or dormers, we offer specialist lead, zinc, and copper roofing. These materials provide exceptional durability and beauty, with our skilled craftsmen performing expert lead welding, bossing, and custom fabrication.
Thinking about transforming your conservatory? Our conservatory warm roof conversions replace inefficient glass or polycarbonate roofs with a lightweight, fully insulated, and tiled structure. This upgrade turns your conservatory into a comfortable, energy-efficient living space you can enjoy year-round, reducing heating bills and minimising rain noise.
Many of our clients ask about the new roof cost in the UK, how long a new roof lasts, or planning permission for a new roof. We’re happy to discuss slate vs. tile roof pros and cons, the best flat roofing materials, or the benefits of a conservatory warm roof conversion.
