Roof Repair Services in Sleaford
A closer look at how we put each of these problems right in Sleaford:
Leak Tracing and Repair
On an older Sleaford house with several slopes, valleys and a chimney, water can enter at one point and appear somewhere else entirely. We trace it methodically from the outside in before repairing.
Flashing Repairs
Where a roof meets a limestone gable or a stack, old lead and mortar fillets crack and pull away from the stone. We renew the flashings and soakers and seal them properly into the masonry.
Ridge and Hip Re-pointing
Weathered mortar under ridge and hip tiles on Sleaford roofs crumbles over time, leaving tiles loose and gaps for water. We take them off, re-bed them on fresh mortar and point the joints.
Moss and Debris Removal
Roofs near the River Slea and in shaded, tree-lined gardens collect moss that blocks valleys and gutters. We remove it as part of a repair, so water flows off the roof as it should.

FAQs about Roof Repairs in Sleaford
Is it worth repairing, or should I replace my Sleaford roof?
If the covering is generally sound and the problem is local, a repair is the sensible option. We'll tell you honestly if a Sleaford roof is near the end of its life and a repair would only be delaying the inevitable.
Can you repair the roof on a listed building in Sleaford?
Yes, though like-for-like materials are usually expected, and some work may need listed building consent. We'll use matching slate or clay tiles with traditional lead and mortar details, and tell you if anything we're proposing needs checking with the council first.
Why is there damp around the chimney breast in my Sleaford house?
It's often the flashing where the stack meets the roof, but it can also be rain soaking through old, porous brickwork or a missing cap on an unused flue. We look at all three, because replacing lead won't help if the water is coming through the stack itself.
Do you offer a guarantee on repairs?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Sleaford and we'll explain what's covered before we start.
How soon can you look at my roof?
For general repairs we'll book you in as soon as we reasonably can. If water is actively getting into the property, tell us when you call and we'll prioritise it.
Is the quote free?
Yes. We'll find the cause, explain it clearly, and give you a free written quote for the repair before any work starts.
