Roof Coverings C R Smith & Son Installs in Grantham
Not every roof in Grantham 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.

How it works
How Our New Roof Installation in Grantham Works
From a terrace in the shadow of St Wulfram's spire to a semi on one of the newer estates, here's how a new roof in Grantham comes together:
- 1
Survey and quote
We look over the covering, get into the loft to check the rafters and purlins, note how the scaffold will go up, and give you a written quote.
- 2
Scaffold and strip
Scaffolding is put up with the pavement and neighbours in mind, then the old covering is stripped and any weak or rotten timber is put right.
- 3
Membrane, batten and cover
A breathable membrane and new battens go on, then the tiles or slates you've chosen, matched to neighbouring roofs where that matters.
- 4
Finish and clear
Lead flashings, ridge and verges are completed, the gutters are cleared of debris, and the site is tidied before the scaffold is struck.

FAQs about New Roofs in Grantham
Will a new roof disrupt my Grantham property for long?
Most domestic re-roofs in Grantham take a few days to a week depending on size and weather. We'll give you a realistic timescale once we've seen the job.
Can you re-roof an older property in Grantham's town centre?
Yes. Many of the older buildings around the centre have Georgian or Victorian roofs, and some sit in a conservation area or are listed, which can affect the materials you can use. We'll check what applies to your property and quote with that in mind.
My Grantham terrace shares a chimney stack with next door. What happens to it?
On a shared stack we renew the flashing on your side and leave a neat, watertight join with your neighbour's roof. If the stack itself needs repointing or the pots are loose, we'll point that out and talk it through with you and next door before we start.
Are the concrete tiles on my post-war Grantham house worth replacing?
If the tiles are worn, the felt under them has perished or the battens are sagging, a new roof is usually better value than repeated repairs. Plenty of Grantham's post-war houses still have their original covering, and we'll tell you honestly which side of the line yours is on.
Do you offer a guarantee on new roofs?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Grantham 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.
