Lincoln's steep hill streets and wide suburbs both have roofs that suffer in a gale, and we provide 24-hour emergency call-out plus careful repairs once the weather settles.
Wind behaves differently on a hill. Around the historic upper part of Lincoln it rises over the edge and catches slopes, chimneys and ridges from underneath, while the suburbs below deal with gusts funnelling between houses. Either way, a bad night can leave damage that is not visible until daylight.
F H Roofing covers Lincoln and its suburbs. We deal with storm damage on older terraces and period properties as well as inter-war and modern homes: slipped tiles, damaged ridges, leaking flashings and fallen branches. We will make the roof safe first and then explain the repair in plain terms.
The emergency stage is all about limiting harm. If you are in Lincoln and a storm has opened up your roof, stay inside, avoid the room beneath the damage and keep water away from sockets and appliances. Do not lean out of windows or climb ladders to look. Our 24-hour emergency call-out can be reached at any time. We do not promise an arrival time, since traffic, weather and other callers all play a part, but we will be honest about what we can arrange.
Access on steep or tightly built streets can shape how we work, and we plan for it before we arrive. The usual temporary measures include securing a tarpaulin over the exposed area, putting slipped tiles back, filling gaps from missing ones, rebedding a ridge and re-securing lead flashings. Period properties can have unusual roof shapes and valleys, so we check how water will travel. A temporary fix is chosen to keep the property dry, not to be the end of the job.
A lasting repair can start once the roof is stable and dry. It might involve new tiles or slates, renewed lead, replaced battens, fascia repairs or a flat roof patch or overlay. If you may claim on insurance, contact your insurer early, take dated photos and keep broken pieces if that is safe. We cannot advise on policies or predict decisions, but we can talk through what the repair involves, so that you can describe the work accurately and understand each cost line.

Yes, we cover older terraces and period properties. They can have awkward access and traditional materials, so we plan the temporary and permanent work with that in mind and explain the options before starting.
Take clear, dated photos of the damage from the ground, any internal water marks, and fallen tiles or debris. Keep broken pieces if it is safe. We can explain what the repair involves, but we cannot advise on your policy.
It can be. A ridge piece that has shifted may fall or let in rain, and neighbours or passers-by could be at risk. Keep clear of beneath it and call us so we can judge how quickly it needs attention.
