Why Choose Us?
Expert New Roof Installations: Built to Last in Spalding & Peterborough
Choosing a new roof is a significant investment for your home, and we approach every installation with meticulous care and expert craftsmanship. At Foster and Son, we specialise in a wide range of new roof solutions, designed to offer superior protection, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. From the initial structural timber work to the final weatherproof covering, we handle it all with precision.
Pitched & Flat Roofs: Understanding the Right Structure
Every property has its unique needs. A pitched roof, commonly seen on traditional homes across areas like Stamford and Spalding, offers excellent drainage and a classic aesthetic, typically using tiles or slates on a slope. Flat roofs, on the other hand, are a common and practical choice for extensions, garages, and certain commercial buildings, requiring a robust, completely waterproof membrane system. We're experts in both, ensuring the underlying structure is sound before applying the ideal covering.
Slate & Tile Roofs: Classic Beauty, Modern Durability
When it comes to pitched roofs, slate and tile are timeless choices. Natural slate offers unparalleled longevity and a beautiful, classic look, making it perfect for heritage properties or those seeking premium quality. For versatility and durability, concrete and clay tiles come in various profiles – think pantile, rosemary, or plain tile – and a broad spectrum of colours to complement any architectural style. We work with modern interlocking tiles for efficient installation and enhanced weather resistance, as well as traditional methods essential for older homes, seamlessly blending new materials with existing aesthetics.
GRP Fibreglass & EPDM Rubber Roofs: Modern Flat Roofing Solutions
For flat roofs, we excel in modern, high-performance systems. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a seamless, cold-applied system that creates an incredibly tough, joint-free finish. It’s highly resistant to punctures and weathering. We use top-quality systems like Cure It GRP, known for its reliability. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a durable rubber membrane, often installed in a single sheet, making it incredibly flexible and long-lasting, ideal for garages or extensions. Both offer superb waterproofing and long lifespans.
High-Performance Felt Roofing: Advanced Protection
Forget the old-fashioned pour-and-roll felt of years gone by. Our felt roofing systems use modern high-performance torch-on felt. This isn't just a basic covering; it's a multi-layer system with a durable mineral cap sheet, providing excellent waterproofing and robust protection for flat roofs on garages, extensions, and outbuildings across Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.
Lead, Zinc, and Copper Roofing: Specialist Architectural Features
For premium installations or specific architectural requirements, we offer specialist services in lead, zinc, and copper roofing. These materials aren't just durable; they create stunning, long-lasting features, perfect for bay windows, dormers, and listed buildings. Our skilled team employs traditional techniques like lead welding and bossing, ensuring custom fabrication and a flawless, enduring finish.
Conservatory Warm Roofs: Transform Your Space
Is your conservatory too hot in summer and too cold in winter? We can transform it into a truly year-round living space. We replace inefficient glass or polycarbonate conservatory roofs with a lightweight, fully insulated, and tiled structure. This upgrade significantly reduces energy bills and eliminates the noisy drumming of rain, providing you with a comfortable, quiet, and usable room, complete with a beautiful internal plastered finish and lightweight tile systems on the exterior.

Who We Are
Emergency Roof Leak Repairs & Maintenance: Prompt Action, Lasting Solutions
A leaking roof isn't just an inconvenience; it can quickly lead to significant damage to your home’s structure and interior. At Foster and Son, we offer a rapid response service for emergency roof leak repairs and storm damage across our entire service area. We quickly identify the precise source of water ingress – whether it's from slipped slates, cracked tiles, failed flashing around a chimney, or wind damage – and provide emergency make-safe repairs, followed by permanent, guaranteed solutions.
Tile & Slate Replacement: Preserving Your Roof's Integrity
You don't always need a full new roof. Often, the problem is just a few cracked, dislodged, or missing tiles or slates. We can efficiently source and replace individual tiles or slates, matching them as closely as possible to your existing roof. This prevents further water damage to the vital roofing felt or battens underneath, saving you from bigger problems down the line.
Flat Roof Repairs: Addressing Common Issues
Flat roofs can suffer from specific issues like splits, blisters, or tears in felt, EPDM, or GRP membranes. Our team is adept at diagnosing these common problems and applying professional patch repair techniques or liquid-applied membranes for a strong, lasting fix. We ensure your flat roof remains watertight and reliable.
Chimney Repairs & Repointing: Protecting Against Leaks
Your chimney is a common culprit for leaks if not properly maintained. We offer comprehensive chimney services, including expert re-pointing of brickwork where mortar has deteriorated, replacing failing lead flashing and soakers that form a crucial waterproof seal, and re-bedding or replacing old or damaged chimney pots.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering: Essential Rainwater Management
These often-overlooked components play a critical role in protecting your home from water damage. Fascias support the bottom row of roof tiles and provide a neat finish, while soffits close the gap underneath the eaves. Gutters, of course, efficiently manage rainwater runoff. We repair or replace damaged sections of existing timber or provide complete upgrades to modern, low-maintenance uPVC roofline products, vastly improving your home's exterior and drainage.
Ridge & Verge Repairs: Securing Your Roof's Edges
The ridge tiles run along the peak of your roof, and verges are the sloped edges, both crucial for a watertight and secure roof. We offer traditional re-bedding in mortar for these areas, or can install modern, maintenance-free dry ridge and dry verge systems. These advanced systems provide superior ventilation and protection without the need for mortar, making them a durable, long-term solution.
Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: Extending Roof Life
Heavy moss growth isn't just an aesthetic issue; it can trap moisture, accelerate tile erosion, and block gutters, leading to water overflow. We provide professional manual moss removal, carefully clearing your roof without damaging tiles. We can also apply biocide treatments to prevent future regrowth, improving your roof's appearance and significantly extending its overall lifespan.

01775 660732Full Roof Replacements & Upgrades in Lincolnshire: A Fresh Start for Your Home
Sometimes, repairs are no longer cost-effective, or your roof has simply reached the end of its life. That’s when a full roof replacement becomes the smart, long-term solution. At Foster and Son Roofing Services, we manage the entire process, providing a complete re-roofing service designed to enhance your home's protection, energy efficiency, and value.
Full Roof Replacements (Re-roofing): A Comprehensive Process
Our re-roofing process is thorough and precise. It begins with the safe stripping of your old roof covering. We then meticulously inspect and, if necessary, repair or strengthen the existing roof timbers, including rafters and trusses, to ensure a solid foundation. Following this, we install a new, breathable roofing membrane and treated battens, before finally fitting your chosen new tiles or slates. This is also an ideal opportunity to significantly upgrade your roof's insulation and ventilation, leading to a warmer, drier, and more energy-efficient home in Spalding, Peterborough, and beyond.
Flat to Pitched Roof Conversions: Solving Persistent Problems
If you’ve been plagued by a problematic flat roof that requires constant repairs, a flat to pitched roof conversion might be the perfect answer. This transformation drastically improves drainage, significantly extends the roof's longevity, and can greatly enhance your home's aesthetic appeal. As an added bonus, it often creates valuable additional loft space, transforming a previously underutilised area.
Asbestos Roof Removal: Safe and Compliant Solutions
Older garages, outbuildings, and some commercial properties often have asbestos cement roofing sheets, which require careful, compliant handling. We are fully certified and trained to manage the safe removal and responsible disposal of asbestos roofing materials. Your safety, and the safety of our team, is paramount. Once the asbestos is safely gone, we replace it with modern, safe, and durable roofing materials, giving you peace of mind.

Inspecting hard-to-reach areas on your roof can be challenging and costly with traditional methods. Our drone roof surveys offer a safe, fast, and remarkably cost-effective solution. Using high-resolution drones, we can thoroughly inspect tall chimneys, complex church roofs, or large commercial buildings without the need for expensive and disruptive scaffolding. These surveys are ideal for pre-purchase inspections, providing detailed insurance reports, or conducting thorough condition surveys for maintenance planning.
Heritage & Historic Roof Restoration: Preserving Our Past
Working on listed buildings and properties in conservation areas requires a specific set of skills, an understanding of historical techniques, and a deep respect for architectural heritage. We are experts in heritage and historic roof restoration, taking immense care to use traditional materials and time-honoured techniques. This includes working with lime mortar, installing authentic cast iron guttering, and sourcing reclaimed heritage slates or clay pantiles to ensure the integrity and character of your historic property are maintained.
Leadwork: The Craft of Durability and Beauty
Leadwork isn't just about covering a gap; it's a true craft that provides unparalleled durability and an attractive finish. Our skilled team specialises in lead welding and bossing, creating bespoke and highly effective flashings, valleys, and custom roof features. This meticulous craftsmanship ensures your leadwork is not only functional, providing a watertight seal that lasts for generations, but also visually appealing, a testament to traditional roofing artistry.
