Roof Coverings C R Smith & Son Installs in Crowland
Not every roof in Crowland needs the same covering. The right choice depends on the building, the budget and the look you want, so here's how the two coverings we fit compare.
Natural Slate Roofs
Natural slate gives a traditional finish and holds up well to exposed weather when laid with the right fixings, suiting many of Crowland's older properties near the abbey.

How it works
How Our New Roof Installation in Crowland Works
Out on the fen there's little to break the wind, so every stage of a new roof in Crowland is planned with exposure in mind:
- 1
Survey and quote
We look at the roof, the timbers and how exposed it sits, check whether it falls within Crowland's conservation area, and give you a written quote.
- 2
Strip and check
The old covering comes off and we check the rafters and wall plates, which on older fen-edge cottages can need attention before re-covering.
- 3
Re-cover for exposure
New membrane and battens go on, then tiles or natural slate are fixed to suit an exposed site, with every course secured properly.
- 4
Finish and clear
Ridges, verges and lead flashings are finished, we check the roof is watertight, and the site is left clean before we go.

FAQs about New Roofs in Crowland
Does Crowland's exposed position affect what roof I should choose?
Open fenland wind puts extra strain on fixings and exposed edges, so we pay particular attention to how a roof is fixed down, not just what it's covered in. We'll talk you through what holds up best for a Crowland property.
Do I need permission to re-roof an older property near Crowland Abbey?
Parts of Crowland's historic centre around the abbey and Trinity Bridge fall within a conservation area, and some older buildings are listed, which can limit the materials you can use. We'll check what applies to your property before we quote.
My older cottage roof has started to sag. Do I need a new roof?
A sagging ridge or roof line usually means the timbers or battens underneath have weakened, not just the covering. We'll look at the structure, tell you honestly whether it can be strengthened as part of a re-roof, and quote for what it actually needs.
Can you match the roof to the other houses on my street?
In most cases, yes. Whether your neighbours have clay pantiles, concrete tiles or slate, we'll talk you through matching or complementing what's already there so the roof sits right on the street.
Do you offer a guarantee on new roofs?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Crowland and we'll explain what's covered before we start.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Every quote from C R Smith & Son is free and written, with no obligation.
