Tile and Slate Repairs
Crowland's older cottages often carry clay pantiles, with concrete tiles on the newer homes around them. We replace slipped and broken ones with the nearest match, sourcing reclaimed pantiles where a new tile would stand out.

Roof Repair Services in Crowland
A closer look at how we put each of these problems right in Crowland:
Leak Tracing and Repair
With nothing to stop it across the fen, rain arrives almost sideways and finds its way in at verges and abutments. We trace a leak back to where the water actually enters before we repair it.
Flashing Repairs
Where a newer extension meets an older cottage wall, the flashing is often the weak point. We renew lead flashings and soakers so water is turned away from the joint between old and new.
Ridge and Hip Re-pointing
On an exposed fen roof the ridge takes the full force of the wind, and loose ridge tiles are one of the most common repairs we do here. We re-bed and re-point them so they stay put.
Moss and Debris Removal
Leaves, seeds and debris blown off the surrounding fields and hedgerows collect in valleys and gutters. We clear them, and any moss holding water against the tiles, as part of a repair visit.

FAQs about Roof Repairs in Crowland
Does Crowland's exposed position cause particular repair problems?
Yes, open fenland wind puts extra strain on fixings and flashing, which is often where we find the actual cause of a leak rather than the tiles themselves. We'll check this properly.
Can you repair a pantile roof on an older Crowland cottage?
Yes. Clay pantiles are common on Crowland's older properties, and we can usually find reclaimed tiles that match the colour and profile. If the battens or bedding underneath have failed, we'll tell you before we quote.
Should I repair my verges or have them replaced?
Mortar verges on exposed roofs crack and fall away over time. Where only a few are loose we'll re-bed them, and where the whole verge has gone we may suggest a dry verge system, which copes better with the wind across the fen.
Do you offer a guarantee on repairs?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Crowland and we'll explain what's covered before we start.
How soon can you look at my roof?
For general repairs we'll book you in as soon as we reasonably can. If water is actively getting into the property, tell us when you call and we'll prioritise it.
Is the quote free?
Yes. We'll find the cause, explain it clearly, and give you a free written quote for the repair before any work starts.
