Is Your Roof Telling You It's Time for a Change? Key Signs for Oakham Homeowners
Sometimes, a repair is all that's needed, but often, especially for older properties around Oakham and Uppingham, a full roof replacement becomes the most cost-effective and long-lasting solution. How can you tell if your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan? Look out for tell-tale signs: consistently missing or cracked tiles that reappear after repairs, a sagging roofline indicating structural issues, significant moss or algae growth that's impossible to manage, or visible water damage in your loft or ceilings. Another common sign for properties with older flat roof sections, like extensions or garages, can be persistent leaks, blistering felt, or standing water. A complete re-roof not only solves these problems but also gives you the chance to significantly upgrade your home’s insulation and ventilation, leading to real savings on your energy bills year after year.

Who We Are
Tailored New Roof Installations: Protecting Your Oakham Property
At Foster and Son Roofing Services, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive range of new roof installations, perfectly suited for the diverse homes found across Oakham, Uppingham, and the wider region. Whether your property is a traditional pitched roof design, commonly seen in the heart of Rutland, or features modern flat roof sections, we have the expertise and quality materials to deliver a flawless finish.
- Pitched & Flat Roofs: We're adept at both. Pitched roofs, with their classic sloped design, are ideal for shedding water and can be covered with a variety of materials. Flat roofs, often found on extensions, garages, or dormers, require a precise, completely waterproof membrane. Our expertise covers everything from the structural timber work beneath to the final weatherproof layer.
- Slate & Tile Roofs: For pitched roofs, we offer a vast selection. Natural slate provides unmatched longevity and a beautiful, classic aesthetic, often chosen for heritage properties in conservation areas. Concrete and clay tiles come in numerous profiles (think pantile, plain tile, or rosemary) and colours, offering versatility and excellent durability. We work with both interlocking tiles for modern efficiency and traditional fixing methods for older homes that need to maintain their authentic character.
- GRP Fibreglass & EPDM Rubber Roofs: These are our preferred choices for modern flat roofing solutions. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a seamless, cold-applied system, creating an incredibly tough, joint-free finish that stands the test of time. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a durable rubber membrane, known for its flexibility and long lifespan, often installed in a single, large sheet for maximum waterproofing. We use trusted systems like Cure It GRP and Firestone RubberCover.
- Felt Roofing: Forget the old-fashioned, unreliable felt of yesteryear. We install modern, high-performance torch-on felt systems. This multi-layer system, topped with a durable mineral cap sheet, provides excellent waterproofing for flat roofs on garages, extensions, and outbuildings, giving you lasting peace of mind.
- Lead, Zinc, and Copper Roofing: For premium, specialist applications, such as on elegant bay windows, dormers, or detailed listed buildings, we offer expert installation of lead, zinc, and copper roofing. This is a true craft, and our team excels in lead welding, bossing, and custom fabrication, creating durable and visually stunning architectural features that will last for generations.
- Conservatory Warm Roofs: Transform your conservatory into a comfortable, year-round living space. We replace inefficient glass or polycarbonate conservatory roofs with a lightweight, fully insulated, and tiled structure. This upgrade not only drastically reduces energy bills but also significantly cuts down on noise from rain, making your conservatory a truly usable room, whatever the weather. We use lightweight tile systems and provide a clean internal plastered finish.

01775 660732Beyond Replacements: Comprehensive Roof Repairs & Maintenance for Your Home in Rutland
While full roof replacements are a core service, we also provide a complete suite of roof repair and maintenance services to homeowners across Oakham, Stamford, and all our service areas. Sometimes, a targeted repair can prevent the need for a full replacement for many years.
- Leak & Storm Damage Repairs: When a storm hits or a leak appears, you need a prompt response. We quickly identify the source of water ingress – be it slipped slates, cracked tiles, failed flashing, or wind damage – and provide emergency make-safe repairs followed by permanent, guaranteed solutions. We know how distressing a leak can be, and we act fast.
- Tile & Slate Replacement: Not every problem needs a new roof. We can source matching tiles or slates to replace individual cracked or missing ones, preventing further water damage to the vital roofing felt or battens underneath.
- Flat Roof Repairs: Common issues like splits, blisters, or tears in felt, EPDM, or GRP can be effectively repaired. We use professional patch repair techniques or liquid-applied membranes for a lasting fix, extending the life of your flat roof.
- Chimney Repairs & Repointing: Chimneys are a frequent source of leaks if not properly maintained. Our services include re-pointing of crumbling brickwork, replacing failing lead flashing and soakers, and re-bedding or replacing chimney pots to keep them secure and watertight.
- Fascias, Soffits & Guttering: These elements play a crucial role in protecting your home from rainwater and supporting your roof. We repair or replace damaged sections of timber, or upgrade to modern, low-maintenance uPVC roofline products, giving your home a fresh look and long-term protection.
- Ridge & Verge Repairs: The ridge tiles at the peak of your roof and the verges along the sloped edges are critical for weatherproofing. We offer traditional re-bedding in mortar or modern, maintenance-free dry ridge and dry verge systems for superior performance and durability.
- Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: Heavy moss growth doesn't just look unsightly; it can trap moisture, lead to damaged tiles, and block gutters. We offer careful manual moss removal and apply biocide treatments to prevent regrowth, which improves both your roof's appearance and its longevity.
