From Victorian terraces to inter-war semis and newer estates, Grantham roofs can all be caught out by a gale, and we offer 24-hour emergency call-out and follow-up repairs.
The morning after a gale, you usually find out what a roof was hiding. A ridge tile in the front garden, a gutter hanging loose or a patch of ceiling gone brown. Grantham homes of every age are affected, and the cause is often something small that has been wearing for a long time.
F H Roofing covers Grantham and the surrounding area. We make storm damaged roofs safe, carry out temporary repairs, and then deal with the permanent work, including tiles, ridges, lead flashings, fascias and flat roofs. Quotations are free and we try to keep our explanations short and clear.
When you call, we ask what you can see, where water is getting in and whether anyone is at risk. That helps us decide what to bring and how to approach the job. Our emergency service operates around the clock, but we do not promise arrival times, as storms stretch every roofer. While you wait, keep clear of the damaged part of the house, collect drips, lift belongings away and avoid going up on the roof or touching anything near water and electrics. We will tell you straight what is realistic.
Short-term fixes are chosen to suit the damage. A bare patch gets a securely fixed tarpaulin. Slipped or missing tiles are refitted or replaced. Ridge tiles that have lifted are rebedded. Torn flashings are pinned and sealed. Where a chimney has been hit, we make the area safe and weathertight. These measures keep the interior dry while materials are ordered or the weather improves, and we will be clear about what is temporary so that nobody forgets to follow it up.
The lasting repair deals with the cause, not just the symptom. That might be re-roofing a small section, renewing lead around a chimney or replacing a damaged fascia and soffit. If your home insurance may respond, speak to the insurer soon, photograph everything and keep damaged materials if you can do so safely. We cannot advise on your policy or on what an insurer will agree to, but we will explain each part of the repair in writing terms you can pass on.
Grantham is a busy market town in south Lincolnshire on the River Witham, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates. Terraces often rely on old lead and mortar that fail in strong wind, inter-war houses can have tired tiles, and newer estates sometimes lose ridge or verge fittings. We cover Grantham and work around Sleaford, Stamford and North Hykeham, so if you are on the edge of town or in the next village, just ask.

No. Cracked tiles, lifted ridges and loosened flashings can be hard to spot. If there was a bad storm and you have a stain or drip inside, an inspection is worthwhile even if nothing looks wrong from below.
Yes, in many cases. Replacing or refitting a few tiles is common after wind. We will tell you if the surrounding tiles are tired enough that a wider repair makes more sense.
Yes. Flat roofs can be torn or lifted in storms. We can cover and patch them temporarily and then discuss a lasting repair, depending on the condition of the covering.
