The roofs in Lincoln
Lincoln splits sharply in two for roofing. Uphill, around the cathedral and the Bailgate, there is conservation area property in slate, clay pantile and proper lead detailing, where the covering and the detail both have to be sympathetic. Downhill and south towards the Hykehams and Bracebridge Heath it is largely twentieth century housing in concrete interlocking tile, with felt underlay of the same vintage.
Lincoln's roofs change dramatically between the uphill conservation area around the cathedral, where slate, pantile and lead detailing are the norm, and the post war estates downhill and to the south.
Flat roofs in Lincoln turn up on everything from Victorian rear outriggers uphill to modern extensions in the newer suburbs. On older property the awkward part is usually the abutment and the leadwork where the flat meets the main roof, rather than the field of the flat itself.
What flat roofing in Lincoln involves
- Torch on feltTwo and three layer high performance felt where budget or the detail of the roof makes it the right call.
- Outlets and trimsRainwater outlets, drip trims, edge trims and upstands sized for the roof rather than whatever was there.
- EPDM rubberFirestone EPDM in a single sheet with no field seams, dressed into trims and upstands. Carries a 25 year guarantee from us on the Firestone system.
That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our flat roofing page.
Signs your Lincoln property needs this
- Felt that has gone grey and brittle and cracks when pressed
- Chippings or mineral finish washed off in patches
- Ponding that is still sitting there two days after rain
Choosing between EPDM, GRP and felt
EPDM suits most domestic flat roofs. It goes down as one piece of rubber, so on a typical extension or garage there is no seam anywhere in the middle of the roof to fail. It stays flexible in the cold and does not mind the movement a timber deck makes through the year.

FAQs
Flat roofing in Lincoln, questions we get asked
What is a warm roof and do I need one?
A warm roof puts the insulation above the deck instead of between the joists, so the deck stays at room temperature and does not attract condensation. On a full re-cover it is usually the right build up, and on habitable rooms below it is the one we would recommend.
How long does a flat roof last?
A properly installed EPDM or GRP roof should give decades rather than years, which is why we guarantee our Firestone EPDM installations for 25 years. Old single layer felt was often failing inside ten, which is where the reputation came from.
Do you cover Lincoln?
Yes. Lincoln is covered by our Lincoln office on 01522 458 144, and flat roofing is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Canwick and Bracebridge Heath from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Lincoln for flat roofing?
Ring the Lincoln office on 01522 458 144 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Lincoln is in the middle of our Lincoln patch, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
Can you do other work while you are on the roof in Lincoln?
Yes, and it usually saves money. Once access is up, picking up the guttering, a chimney or a valley costs the labour and materials rather than a second lot of scaffold.
Do I pay anything up front?
Payment terms are set out in the written quote before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises.
