Our Comprehensive Roofing Services
Expert New Roof Installations in Spalding & Peterborough
A new roof is a major investment in your property's safety, value, and energy efficiency. We manage the entire process, from structural timber work to the final weatherproof covering, ensuring a flawless finish that is built to last. We specialise in both pitched and flat roof installations for residential and commercial properties.
Pitched & Flat Roofs
We are masters of both roofing styles. A pitched roof, often seen on traditional homes in areas like Stamford and Spalding, uses tiles or slates on a slope to effectively shed water. A flat roof, common on extensions, garages, and commercial buildings, requires a completely waterproof membrane. We have the expertise to construct and finish both to the highest standards.
Slate & Tile Roofs
We offer a wide range of options to suit your property's style and budget. Natural slate provides unparalleled longevity and a classic aesthetic, perfect for heritage properties. Concrete and clay tiles come in various profiles (e.g., pantile, rosemary, plain tile) and colours, offering versatility and durability. We use modern interlocking tiles for efficiency and traditional methods for period homes, ensuring a perfect match.
GRP Fibreglass & EPDM Rubber Roofs
For flat roofs, we recommend modern, high-performance solutions. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a seamless, cold-applied system that creates a tough, joint-free finish. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a highly durable rubber membrane, famed for its flexibility and long lifespan, often installed in a single sheet. We are approved installers of leading systems like Cure It GRP and Firestone RubberCover.
High-Performance Felt Roofing
Modern felt roofing is a world away from old-fashioned pour-and-roll systems. We install multi-layer, high-performance torch-on felt systems with a durable mineral cap sheet, providing excellent waterproofing for flat roofs on garages, extensions, and dormers.
Lead, Zinc, and Copper Roofing
For truly bespoke and long-lasting results, we offer specialist metal roofing. Ideal for creating durable and beautiful architectural features on bay windows, dormers, and listed buildings, our expertise in lead welding, bossing, and custom fabrication is second to none.
Conservatory Warm Roofs
Transform your conservatory into a year-round living space. We replace inefficient glass or polycarbonate roofs with a lightweight, fully insulated, and tiled structure. This reduces energy bills, eliminates noise from rain, and provides a comfortable room with an internal plastered finish, adding value to your home.

Emergency Roof Leak Repairs & Maintenance | 24/7 Call Out
A damaged roof can lead to serious problems. We offer a rapid response service to protect your property, from minor leaks to major storm damage. We believe in proactive maintenance to prevent costly issues down the line.
Leak & Storm Damage Repairs
Water ingress requires immediate attention. Our team quickly identifies the source of the leak, whether it's from slipped slates, cracked tiles, failed flashing, or wind damage. We provide emergency make-safe repairs followed by permanent, guaranteed solutions to secure your home.
Tile & Slate Replacement
You don't always need a whole new roof. We can source matching tiles and slates to replace individual cracked or missing ones, preventing water from damaging the roofing felt and battens underneath and maintaining your roof's integrity.
Flat Roof Repairs
We are experts at diagnosing and fixing common flat roof issues like splits, blisters, or tears in felt, EPDM, or GRP. We use professional patch repair techniques or modern liquid-applied membranes to ensure a lasting, watertight fix.
Chimney Repairs & Repointing
Chimneys are a frequent source of leaks. Our services include re-pointing deteriorating mortar joints, replacing failed lead flashing and soakers around the chimney stack, and re-bedding or replacing chimney pots to ensure they are safe and secure.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Your roofline is vital for protecting your home. Fascias support the bottom row of tiles, soffits close the gap underneath, and gutters manage rainwater. We repair damaged timber sections or upgrade your home with low-maintenance uPVC roofline products for a clean, modern finish.
Ridge & Verge Repairs
The ridge tiles at the peak of your roof and the verges at the sloped edges are critical for weatherproofing. We offer traditional re-bedding in mortar or can upgrade your roof with modern, maintenance-free dry ridge and dry verge systems for superior security and durability.
Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning
Heavy moss growth can trap moisture, damage tiles by freeze-thaw action, and block gutters. We provide professional manual moss removal followed by a biocide treatment to inhibit regrowth, improving your roof's appearance and extending its lifespan.

Full Roof Replacements & Upgrades in Lincolnshire
When a roof reaches the end of its life, a full replacement is the best long-term solution. We also offer specialist conversion services to enhance your property.
Full Roof Replacements (Re-roofing)
Our re-roofing process is thorough and professional. It involves completely stripping the old roof covering, inspecting and repairing the roof timbers (rafters and trusses), installing a new breathable membrane and treated battens, before skilfully fitting your new tiles or slates. This is the perfect opportunity to upgrade your roof's insulation and ventilation to modern standards.
Flat to Pitched Roof Conversions
Turn a problematic flat roof into an asset. A pitched roof conversion dramatically improves drainage, increases longevity, and enhances your property's aesthetic appeal. This process can also create valuable additional loft or living space.
Asbestos Roof Removal
Safety is our top priority. We are certified and equipped to handle the safe removal and compliant disposal of asbestos cement roofing sheets, which are often found on older garages and outbuildings. We then replace them with modern, safe materials like steel profile sheets or GRP fibreglass.

Drone Roof Surveys & Heritage Roofing Restoration
We combine modern technology with traditional craftsmanship to offer a range of specialist roofing services.
Drone Roof Surveys
Our drone roof surveys are a safe, fast, and cost-effective way to inspect your property. Without the need for expensive scaffolding, our high-resolution drones can capture detailed imagery of hard-to-reach areas like tall chimneys, church spires, or large commercial roofs. This is ideal for pre-purchase inspections, insurance reports, and detailed condition surveys.
Heritage & Historic Roof Restoration
We have a deep respect for historic buildings. Our team understands the specific requirements of working on listed buildings and properties in conservation areas. We use traditional materials and time-honoured techniques, including lime mortar, cast iron guttering, and sourcing reclaimed heritage slates or clay pantiles to ensure an authentic and compliant restoration.
Specialist Leadwork
Leadwork is a true roofing craft. Our skilled team are experts in lead welding and bossing, creating durable and effective flashings, valleys, and bespoke roof features that protect your property and can last for generations.

Who We Are
Expert New Roof Installations: Building Durable Roofs for Generations
Investing in a new roof is a significant decision, and with Foster and Son Roofing Services, you're guaranteed a structure that's built to last. We manage every aspect of your new roof installation, from the initial structural timber work to the final weatherproof covering.
- Pitched & Flat Roof Systems: We're experts in both. A pitched roof, commonly seen on traditional homes in areas like Stamford and Spalding, relies on a sloped design with tiles or slates for efficient water shedding. Flat roofs, perfect for modern extensions, garages, and commercial buildings, require a precisely installed, completely waterproof membrane. We assess your property and needs to recommend the ideal solution.
- Slate & Tile Roofing Options: For pitched roofs, we offer a vast range. Natural slate provides unparalleled longevity and that timeless, classic look, often chosen for heritage properties or when seeking a premium finish. Concrete and clay tiles come in various profiles – think pantile, rosemary, plain tile – and countless colours, offering superb versatility and durability. We're skilled in fitting modern interlocking tiles for maximum efficiency, as well as traditional methods for older homes requiring a specific aesthetic.
- Advanced Flat Roofing: GRP Fibreglass & EPDM Rubber: For flat roofs, we specialise in cutting-edge materials. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), also known as fibreglass, is a cold-applied system that creates a tough, joint-free, seamless membrane, ideal for everything from garage roofs in Peterborough to balcony coverings. Brands like Cure It GRP are known for their robustness. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a flexible rubber membrane, incredibly durable and often installed in a single sheet, making it a fantastic choice for many flat roof scenarios, including Firestone RubberCover systems.
- High-Performance Felt Roofing: This isn't your grandad's old felt roof! We install modern high-performance torch-on felt systems. This multi-layer system, featuring a durable mineral cap sheet, provides excellent waterproofing for flat roofs on garages, extensions, and outbuildings, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution.
- Premium Lead, Zinc, and Copper Roofing: For architectural features that demand both beauty and unparalleled durability, we provide specialist lead, zinc, and copper roofing. These materials are perfect for bay windows, dormers, and listed buildings. Our skilled craftsmen excel in traditional lead welding, bossing, and custom fabrication, creating features that last for generations.
- Conservatory Warm Roof Conversions: Transform your conservatory from a seasonal space into a year-round living area. We replace inefficient glass or polycarbonate conservatory roofs with a lightweight, fully insulated, and tiled structure. This not only significantly reduces energy bills but also minimises noise from rain, giving you a comfortable, usable room with an internal plastered finish.
If you're wondering about new roof costs, how long a new roof lasts, planning permission for a new roof, or the benefits of a conservatory warm roof, contact us today. We provide solutions that meet your needs, ensuring your roof is built to the highest quality.

This small repair can save you significant costs down the line.
- Flat Roof Repairs: Common issues like splits, blisters, or tears in felt, EPDM, or GRP can compromise your flat roof. We use professional patch repair techniques or apply liquid membranes for a lasting fix, extending the life of your existing flat roof system. Our flat roof repair specialists are on hand.
- Chimney Repairs & Repointing: Chimneys are a common culprit for roof leaks. Our services include re-pointing of crumbling brickwork, replacing failing lead flashing and soakers, and re-bedding or replacing chimney pots. We address all chimney integrity issues to stop water ingress.
- Fascias, Soffits & Guttering Solutions: These roofline elements are crucial for managing rainwater and protecting your roof structure. Fascias support the bottom row of tiles, soffits close the gap underneath, and gutters direct water away. We repair or replace damaged timber sections or upgrade to low-maintenance uPVC roofline products, ensuring proper water flow and preventing damp.
- Ridge & Verge Repairs: The ridge tiles along your roof's peak and the verges (sloped edges) are critical protective areas. We offer traditional re-bedding in mortar or install modern, maintenance-free dry ridge and dry verge systems for superior performance and reduced upkeep.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Roofing Questions
Answers to common questions about our Roofing
How much does a new roof or a major repair cost?
The cost varies greatly depending on the size of the roof, the materials you choose (e.g., natural slate vs. concrete tiles), and the complexity of the job. A small repair might cost a few hundred pounds, while a complete roof replacement is a significant investment. The best way to find out is to contact us. We provide a free, detailed, no-obligation quotation after a thorough inspection.
What are the common signs that I might need a new roof?
Look out for slipped or missing tiles, persistent leaks in multiple places, moss and algae growth inside your loft, and daylight showing through the roof boards. If your roof is over 20-25 years old and starting to look tired and worn, it’s a good time for a professional inspection.
How long should my new roof last?
This depends on the material. A modern, high-performance felt roof can last 15-20 years. GRP or EPDM rubber flat roofs often come with guarantees for 20-25 years but can last much longer. A new tiled roof should last for over 50 years, while a natural slate roof, with proper maintenance, can last for over a century.
Can you repair my roof, or do I need a full replacement?
We will always give you an honest assessment. If a targeted repair is the most sensible and cost-effective solution, that’s what we’ll recommend. We only suggest a full replacement when a roof is beyond economic repair or has reached the end of its natural life. Our integrity is important to us.
What is a dry ridge or dry verge system?
These are modern, maintenance-free alternatives to using cement mortar to secure the tiles at the peak (ridge) and edges (verge) of your roof. They use mechanically fixed plastic components that are screwed into place, offering better security against wind and providing built-in ventilation. They are a popular and reliable upgrade.
Do you handle all types of roofing work?
Yes, we offer a complete range of residential and commercial roofing services. Our team has the experience and skills to handle everything from a small guttering job to a complex heritage restoration or a large-scale new roof installation. We provide complete solutions for all your roofing needs.
