Victorian slate at the end of its life
Lincoln's Victorian terraces carry vast amounts of original slate, and much of it is now reaching the end of its life. The slates outlast the iron nails holding them, so you see slates slipping one at a time, then in runs, as the fixings rust through. Roofers call it nail sickness. Many of these roofs were laid with no felt underneath, so once a slate slides, wind-driven rain goes straight into the loft. We refix slipped slates with proper fixings, replace broken ones with matching slate and repair the valleys and lead flashings that let water through.
Repair or replace: a straight answer
A slate roof that keeps shedding slates in different places is telling you the fixings have failed across the whole roof. Patching it every winter costs more over time than dealing with it once. We look at the whole roof at the survey, photograph what we find and tell you plainly which you need. If a repair will keep your roof sound, that is what we quote. If the roof is done, our new roofs in Lincoln page covers like-for-like slate or a modern equivalent, with the honest pros and cons of each.
Leaking now? Active leaks are prioritised over planned work, and our teams of more than 20 roofers give us the crews to reach you and make the roof watertight. Ridges that keep losing their mortar get a mechanically fixed dry ridge system, so there is nothing left to crack and fall into the gutter. Leaks around a stack are a job of their own, covered on our chimney repairs page. Every repair is done by our own roofers, never a subcontractor you have not met.
Homeowners rate us 4.8 from 160+ reviews across Google, Trustatrader and Checkatrade, from more than 1,000 completed projects over 25+ years. Garage or extension roof letting water in?

“Charles was quick to come and have a look at our roof leak issue. He talked through different options, being sensitive to different budgets. Most importantly, I felt Charles to be trustworthy as there was no upselling whatsoever and he was happy to talk about the technical implications of different jobs.”

Roof Repairs in Lincoln, your questions answered
Why do slates keep slipping off my Victorian terrace in Lincoln?
The iron nails holding original Victorian slates rust through long before the slate itself wears out. Roofers call it nail sickness. Slates slip one at a time at first, then in runs. We refix them with proper fixings and check the rest of the roof for the same problem.
Will you just patch it, or tell me if it needs replacing?
We tell you which it needs. A few slipped slates on a sound roof are a straightforward repair. Slates slipping all over the roof mean the fixings have failed throughout, and repeated patching will not hold. Our survey photos show which you have, so you decide with the evidence.
Will you use real slate on my repair?
We match what is already on your roof. On original Victorian slate we refix sound slates and replace broken ones with matching slate, so the repair blends in with the rest of the terrace. If a modern equivalent suits the rest of the roof better, we say so at the survey.
How quickly can you look at a leak?
For active leaks we prioritise call-outs, usually within a day or two in our core areas around Peterborough, Spalding and Bath. We make safe first, then quote the permanent fix.
