Is It Time for a New Roof? Recognising the Signs Your Home Needs a Refresh
Sometimes, a simple repair just isn't enough. Knowing when your roof has reached the end of its lifespan can save you a lot of hassle and expense down the line. You might notice persistent leaks that just won't go away, even after multiple repairs. Perhaps your energy bills are creeping up, suggesting poor insulation or ventilation issues that a new roof can resolve. Visible signs like widespread cracked, missing, or curling tiles, significant moss growth causing damage, or sagging sections of your roof are all clear indicators. For flat roofs, extensive blistering, ponding water, or large tears in the membrane are red flags. A new roof, while an investment, dramatically improves your home's energy efficiency, boosts its kerb appeal, and most importantly, provides robust, long-term protection, often adding significant value to your property. We're happy to provide a comprehensive assessment to help you understand your options, whether you're in Bourne, Sleaford, or right here in Spalding.

Who We Are
Our Comprehensive Approach to New Roof Installations: Quality from Foundations Up
Installing a new roof is a precise, multi-stage process, and we handle every step with meticulous care. First, we conduct a thorough, no-obligation survey of your existing roof structure, assessing everything from the rafters and trusses to the insulation and ventilation requirements. We'll then discuss the best materials and systems for your property's style and your budget, whether that's a traditional slate roof for a heritage building in Stamford or a modern EPDM flat roof for an extension in Peterborough. Our process typically involves carefully stripping away the old roof covering, inspecting and, if needed, repairing or upgrading the underlying timber structure. We then install a new breathable roofing membrane and treated battens, ensuring excellent ventilation and moisture control. Finally, we expertly lay your chosen tiles, slates, or flat roofing material, finishing with new leadwork, dry ridge systems, and uPVC fascias, soffits, and guttering for a complete, watertight system that's built to perform for decades.
Tailored New Roofing Solutions: Pitched, Flat, and Specialist Options
We understand that every property is unique, which is why we offer a wide array of new roof installations to suit any home or building.
Pitched & Flat Roofs: From the classic pitched roofs gracing homes across Gosberton and Pinchbeck to the sleek, modern flat roofs seen on extensions and garages in Crowland and Eye, we're experts in both. We ensure the underlying structural timber work is sound before applying the ideal weatherproof covering.
Slate & Tile Roofs: For pitched roofs, we work with both natural slate, offering unmatched longevity and a beautiful, classic aesthetic perfect for traditional homes, and a vast range of concrete and clay tiles. This includes various profiles like pantiles, rosemary tiles, and plain tiles, installed using either efficient interlocking methods for modern builds or traditional techniques for older properties.
GRP Fibreglass & EPDM Rubber Roofs: For flat roofs, we specialise in cutting-edge GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) fibreglass and EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber membrane systems. GRP provides a seamless, cold-applied, incredibly tough finish, while EPDM is a flexible, long-lasting rubber often installed in a single sheet, ideal for garages in Holbeach or extensions in Wisbech. We use reputable systems like Cure It GRP and Firestone RubberCover.
High-Performance Felt Roofing: This isn't your grandad's old felt roof! We install modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems with durable mineral cap sheets, providing excellent, long-lasting waterproofing for flat roofs on garages, extensions, or commercial units.
Lead, Zinc, and Copper Roofing: For premium architectural features, heritage properties, or intricate detailing on bay windows and dormers, our skilled craftsmen offer specialist leadwork, including traditional lead welding and bossing, as well as zinc and copper installations. These metals provide exceptional durability and a stunning finish.
Foster and Son Roofing Services: From our base near Spalding, we proudly serve homeowners and businesses within a 40-mile radius. Our local experts cover Peterborough, Boston, Stamford, Bourne, King's Lynn, and the surrounding villages across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and West Norfolk.
Transform Your Conservatory with a Warm Roof Conversion
If your conservatory is too hot in summer and too cold in winter, turning it into an underutilised space, our conservatory warm roof conversions are the perfect solution. We expertly replace inefficient glass or polycarbonate roofs with a lightweight, fully insulated, and tiled structure. This transforms your conservatory into a comfortable, energy-efficient, year-round living space. You'll notice a significant reduction in energy bills, less glare from the sun, and dramatically reduced noise during heavy rain. We carefully select lightweight tile systems and provide a professional internal plastered finish, seamlessly integrating your conservatory with the rest of your home, whether you're in King's Lynn or Yaxley.

How do I know if I need a full roof replacement or just a repair?
Look out for key warning signs like multiple leaks, visible daylight in your loft, a sagging roofline, or widespread cracked and missing tiles. During our free survey, we'll give you an honest assessment. If a targeted repair can solve the problem effectively, we'll always recommend that first. A full replacement is usually for roofs that are at the end of their natural life or have extensive damage.
How long does installing a new roof typically take?
The timeframe for a new roof project depends on the size and complexity of your roof, the materials used, and the weather. On average, a new roof on a typical three-bedroom semi-detached house can take between 5 to 8 days, from stripping the old roof to the final clean-up. We will always provide you with a clear project timeline in our detailed quotation.
What are the main differences between a slate roof and a tile roof?
Natural slate is a premium, natural stone that offers exceptional longevity (often over 100 years) and a classic, smart appearance. It's heavier and requires specialist skills to install. Concrete or clay tiles are manufactured, come in a very wide range of colours and profiles, and are generally more cost-effective. Both are excellent choices, and the best option often comes down to your property's style, your budget, and personal preference.
Will I need planning permission for my new roof?
In most cases, replacing your roof with similar materials does not require planning permission as it falls under 'permitted development'. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, or if you are significantly altering the roof's height or shape (like with a flat-to-pitched conversion), you will likely need permission. We can offer advice on this and guide you through the process if required.
Is all your new roof work guaranteed?
Absolutely. We have complete confidence in our skills and the quality materials we use. All of our labour on new roof installations is fully guaranteed, giving you long-term peace of mind. The specific materials we use, such as Firestone EPDM or Cure It GRP, also come with their own manufacturer's warranties.
