Roof Repairs
Not every roof in Lincoln needs replacing. Whether it's a slipped tile near the historic uphill area or a felt repair on a newer estate, C R Smith & Son tracks down the actual cause of the problem and puts it right, rather than patching the nearest visible spot. Every repair starts with a free, no-obligation written quote, so you know exactly what's wrong and what it'll take to fix before we start any work.
C R Smith & Son covers Lincoln (LN1, LN2 and LN3) and the surrounding villages, including Nettleham, Bracebridge Heath, Branston, Washingborough and Canwick.
Cost
There's no single price for a roof repair in Lincoln, since every job is different. What we can promise is a free, no-obligation written quote with a full breakdown before any work starts. The main things that affect cost are:
What's included
Systems we fit
A closer look at how we put each of these problems right in Lincoln:
Lincoln's terraces are often Welsh slate, while older cottages carry clay pantiles and post-war homes concrete tiles. We replace slipped and cracked ones with the closest match we can find, reclaimed where needed, so the repair doesn't stand out from the street.
On a terraced roof, water can travel along the rafters before it shows on a ceiling, sometimes from next door's side of the party wall. We trace it back to where it actually gets in before we touch anything.
Chimney stacks are everywhere on Lincoln's Victorian streets, and tired lead around them is one of the most common leaks we find. We renew flashings and soakers so water runs off the stack instead of behind it.
Homes uphill catch more weather than those in the valley below, and their ridge mortar shows it. We re-bed and re-point loose ridge and hip tiles properly so the highest point of the roof stays sealed.
Roofs on tree-lined streets and north-facing slopes collect moss and leaves that hold water against the tiles. We clear it as part of a repair visit, along with the valleys and gutters it blocks.
Why choose us
Reviews
“Very nice young man, he went through in detail how to fix the problem and the quote was written for us to peruse. Very good service.”

“He gave a clear quote and breakdown. Was able to do the work very soon which was needed due to the impending rain. He kept me up to date and respected the property when working on it.”
How it works
On a terrace, the problem isn't always where the stain is, so here's how we handle a repair in Lincoln:
Inspect
We get up to the roof, look at the stack, the flashings and the slates or tiles, and find where water is really getting in.
Quote
You get a clear written quote for the repair, with no obligation, and we tell you if anything else on the roof needs watching.
Repair
We carry out the work with matching or reclaimed slates and tiles, keeping to your side of the party wall.
Check
We make sure the repair is watertight, clear any debris from the gutters and leave the area clean.
