New Roofs & Re-Roofs in Lincoln
Specifying a new roof properly in Lincoln means thinking about more than tiles alone. Insulation, breathable membranes, ridge ventilation and gutter sizing all have to suit drier than the Pennine side of the county but with sharp eastern winds that can drive rain horizontally into north-facing roof slopes and the limestone-fronted properties in the Cathedral Quarter, terraced housing along West Parade found around Lincoln Cathedral, the Bailgate conservation area and Brayford Pool. Every decision goes in writing before any work starts.
Local considerations for new roofs & re-roofs in Lincoln
- Choosing the right interlocking concrete, clay pantile or natural slate to suit limestone-fronted properties in the Cathedral Quarter, terraced housing along West Parade.
- Specifying lead saddle and valley detail by code, not a one-size-fits-all roll thickness, on Lincoln homes.
- Co-ordinating with neighbouring properties where party walls or shared chimneys cross the slope in Bailgate or Cathedral Quarter.
- Disposing of stripped felt and tiles under our waste-carrier licence — no skip-hire surprise on the LN1, LN2, LN5, LN6 invoice.
