Roof Coverings C R Smith & Son Installs in Louth

How it works
How Our New Roof Installation in Louth Works
Below the spire of St James', many Louth roofs are part of the town's Georgian character, so here's how we re-roof one:
- 1
Survey and quote
We inspect the covering, timbers, chimneys and lead work, check whether the property is in Louth's conservation area, and quote in writing.
- 2
Scaffold with care
Scaffolding goes up with the pavement, parking and neighbouring buildings in mind, and any permits are arranged beforehand.
- 3
Strip and re-cover
Slates or pantiles come off carefully, sound ones are set aside for reuse where possible, and new membrane, battens and covering go on.
- 4
Lead, finish and clear
Valleys, chimneys and parapets get new lead where needed, the ridge is finished, and the site is left clean.

FAQs about New Roofs in Louth
Do I need permission to re-roof a period property in Louth?
Louth's Georgian streets sometimes carry conservation area considerations, which can affect what materials you're able to use. We'll check this before quoting and explain what applies to your property.
Can you reuse the original slates on my Louth townhouse?
Sometimes. Where the slates are still sound and the problem is the nails or battens, we can strip them carefully, set the good ones aside and relay them, topping up with matching reclaimed slate. We'll tell you honestly how many are reusable once we've looked closely.
My period house has several chimney stacks. Should they be dealt with during the re-roof?
It's the best time to do it. With the scaffold up, we can repoint stacks, renew the lead flashings around them and check the pots, which saves paying for access again later. We'll include anything that needs doing in the quote.
Do you re-roof newer homes in Louth as well as old ones?
Yes. As well as period properties in the town centre, we re-roof modern houses and bungalows around Louth and in the Wolds villages nearby, using tiles that suit the house and your budget.
Do you offer a guarantee on new roofs?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Louth 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.
