With nothing but flat farmland around Holbeach, houses and bungalows take wind and rain head on, so we offer emergency call-out, temporary cover and proper repairs afterwards.
Out on the flat South Holland fens, a storm has a long run-up before it reaches Holbeach. Hedges and hills do little to slow it, so roofs, chimneys and fascias take the full force. Bungalows are particularly exposed because their large roof slopes catch the wind from every side.
F H Roofing covers Holbeach and the farmland around it. If a storm has lifted tiles, torn a flat roof covering or driven rain in under a ridge, we can help make it safe and weathertight, then carry out the longer-term repair. We aim to explain each stage clearly and without pressure.
If the roof is open or leaking, put safety ahead of everything. Stay indoors, keep away from the damaged room, shift furniture and electrical items and place buckets where needed. Do not try to repair anything from a ladder in strong wind. Take photos from the ground, then call. We run a 24-hour emergency call-out, but cannot promise an arrival time, because conditions on the roads and the number of callers vary. We will give you an honest picture and tell you what to do while waiting.
A bungalow with a stripped corner needs a different approach from a two-storey house with a lifted ridge, but the principle is the same: stop water coming in. We may fix a tarpaulin across a damaged section, refit slipped tiles, add replacements for those blown off, rebed a loose ridge, or re-secure flashing at a chimney or wall. Flat roofs can be patched to stop leaks. These are stopgap measures, and we will say how long they should be trusted.
After the emergency comes the real repair, whether that is relaying a slope, renewing lead, replacing a fascia or re-covering a flat roof. If you may make an insurance claim, ring the insurer early, record the damage with dated photos and keep any broken materials if that is safe. We cannot give advice on policies or predict what will be covered, but we are glad to explain what each repair item involves, so that you can describe it correctly.
Holbeach is a fenland market town in South Holland, surrounded by very flat farmland, so houses and bungalows have little protection from wind and driving rain. Over time that wears at ridge bedding, flashings and fixings. We cover Holbeach and the surrounding area, and we also work near Spalding and Boston. If you live out in the countryside between towns, ask us, as we may still be able to reach you.
We also take on storm damage roof repairs work in nearby Spalding, Boston.

“We had a persistent leak around our chimney that two other companies couldn’t fix — F H Roofing sorted it on the first visit. Professional, honest, and very reasonably priced. Couldn’t ask for more!”
They tend to have large, simple roof slopes with little shelter around them, so wind can lift tiles, ridges and verges easily. Regular checks of ridge bedding and fixings can help catch problems before a storm.
Often yes. A torn or lifted covering can be patched temporarily, then repaired or replaced later depending on its condition. We will look at the whole roof before recommending how far to go.
As soon as the weather and materials allow. Temporary cover is only meant to keep water out for a short time, and leaving it too long risks further damage to timbers and insulation.
