Fitting your chosen tile or natural slate covering
New flashing, ridge tiles and verges finished properly

Roof Coverings C R Smith & Son Installs in Lincoln
Not every roof in Lincoln 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 suits Lincoln's older properties particularly well, especially near the historic uphill area, giving a traditional finish that holds up for decades when laid properly.

How it works
How Our New Roof Installation in Lincoln Works
Whether it's a terrace near the cathedral quarter or a family home on one of the newer estates, here's how a new roof in Lincoln comes together:
- 1
Survey and quote
We look at the roof, the timbers and the access, check whether the property sits in one of Lincoln's conservation areas, and give you a written quote.
- 2
Scaffold and strip
Scaffolding goes up with the street and your neighbours in mind, then the old tiles or slates come off and we check the rafters underneath.
- 3
Felt, batten and cover
New breathable membrane and battens go on, followed by your chosen tile or natural slate, matched to the street where it needs to be.
- 4
Flash, finish and clear
Chimneys and abutments get new lead flashing, the ridge and verges are finished, and the site is cleared before the scaffold comes down.

FAQs about New Roofs in Lincoln
Do I need permission to re-roof a listed or conservation area property in Lincoln?
Some of Lincoln's older properties near the cathedral quarter and uphill carry conservation area or listed status, which can affect what materials you're able to use. We'll check this before quoting and explain what applies to your property.
Will re-roofing my terraced house in Lincoln affect my neighbours?
On a terrace the roof runs into next door's, so we work carefully along the party wall line and leave a neat, watertight join. Scaffolding sometimes needs to sit in front of a neighbour's property for a few days, so we'll talk that through with you before the job starts.
Can you get scaffolding up on a narrow street uphill?
Usually, yes. Some streets near the Bailgate and Steep Hill are tight for access and parking, so we look at this during the survey and plan the scaffold and any permits it needs into the quote and the timing.
Should I choose slate or tiles for a new roof in Lincoln?
Natural slate is often the right choice on Victorian terraces and older properties where it matches the street, while concrete or clay tiles suit most of the city's post-war and newer homes. We'll recommend whatever suits your building and budget, not just the cheapest option.
Do you offer a guarantee on new roofs?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Lincoln 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.
