How it works
How Our New Roof Installation in Horncastle Works
Many of Horncastle's older buildings have had their roofs patched for generations, so a new one starts with finding out what's really there:
- 1
Survey and quote
We look at the covering, the timbers and any earlier repairs, check for conservation area rules, and give you a written quote.
- 2
Scaffold and strip
Scaffold goes up with the pavement and any shopfront in mind, then the old covering comes off and the structure is checked.
- 3
Repair and re-cover
Weak rafters or battens are put right, and new membrane, battens and matching pantiles, slate or tiles go on.
- 4
Finish and clear
Chimneys and abutments get new flashings, the ridge and verges are secured, and the site is cleaned up.

FAQs about New Roofs in Horncastle
Can you match the existing roof on an older Horncastle property?
In most cases, yes. We'll talk you through the options for matching or complementing what's already there, particularly important on Horncastle's older buildings where the roof is part of the property's character.
Can you re-roof a shop with a flat above in Horncastle?
Yes. Many buildings around the centre combine a shop with living space or storage above. We'll plan the scaffold so customers can still get in, agree working times with you, and keep the building weathertight as we go.
The timbers in my loft look old and worn. Will they hold up a new roof?
It depends what we find. Older Horncastle properties sometimes have woodworm, rot or past alterations in the roof structure. We'll inspect the timbers during the survey and include any repairs or strengthening needed in the quote.
Do I need permission to re-roof in Horncastle's conservation area?
Re-roofing like for like usually doesn't need planning permission, but in the town centre's conservation area, or on a listed building, changing the material might. We'll check what applies before we quote.
Do you offer a guarantee on new roofs?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Horncastle 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.
