Why Choose Us?

Expert New Roof Installations for Uppingham Homes and Businesses

Considering a new roof for your property? Investing in a new roof is a significant decision, and we make sure it's one you can feel confident about. We offer comprehensive new roof installations, tailored to suit both the character of your property and your specific needs.
Whether you have a classic pitched roof, commonly found on charming homes in Uppingham and Oakham, or a contemporary flat roof on an extension or garage, our team are specialists in both. We handle everything from the underlying structural timber work to the final, weatherproof covering.
For pitched roofs, we work with a wide array of materials. Natural slate offers timeless elegance and incredible longevity, ideal for heritage properties or those seeking a premium finish. Concrete and clay tiles, including versatile interlocking tiles for modern efficiency or traditional plain tiles, come in various profiles and colours, ensuring a perfect match for any aesthetic.
For flat roofs, we excel in modern, high-performance solutions like GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) provides a seamless, cold-applied system that forms a tough, joint-free finish, while EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a durable rubber membrane, often installed in a single sheet for maximum waterproofing. We also expertly install modern torch-on felt systems – a far cry from old-fashioned pour-and-roll, offering robust multi-layer protection with a durable mineral cap sheet.
Need a solution for that often-too-hot or too-cold conservatory? Our conservatory warm roof conversions transform these spaces into comfortable, year-round living areas by replacing inefficient glass or polycarbonate with a lightweight, fully insulated, tiled structure. This not only significantly reduces energy bills but also drastically cuts down on noise from rain. Trust our team to provide a new roof solution that truly meets your needs, guaranteeing excellent results.

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.
