DJW Roofing & Leadwork Ltd covers Spalding and South Lincolnshire from our base in Littleport, Ely. Coverage includes PE11–PE12, Pinchbeck, Moulton, Weston, Cowbit, Holbeach and Crowland. We carry out storm repairs, re-roofs, dry ridge work, specialist hand-dressed leadwork, chimney repairs and flat roofing. Open fenland brings particular wind exposure, while the area’s town houses, bungalows and farmhouses each have their own roofing details. Danny brings 15 years’ roofing experience, with free inspections and no-obligation written quotes. Our advice starts with what the roof needs: repair before replacement where possible. DJW is fully insured, and all work is guaranteed.
Town houses, bungalows and fenland farmhouses
Victorian and Georgian town houses near the River Welland can have chimney stacks, slate or tile slopes and adjoining roof details that need careful inspection. Spalding and neighbouring settlements also include many bungalows and 1960s–80s estates, with different tile profiles and ridge arrangements. Beyond the town, farmhouses on open fenland can face wind across long stretches of unobstructed ground. The roofing recommendation needs to reflect the building, its construction and exposure rather than apply one standard solution. We inspect the existing covering and junctions before discussing whether a local repair or more extensive work is appropriate.
Wind exposure and storm damage
Across Pinchbeck, Moulton, Weston, Cowbit, Holbeach and Crowland, exposed roofs can suffer slipped tiles, disturbed flashings and damaged ridge bedding after strong winds. Loose mortar may be visible from the ground, but the condition of the surrounding tiles and fixings also matters. A storm can reveal an existing weakness without making every part of the roof unserviceable. DJW assesses the affected section and explains the cause before proposing repairs. Keep away from loose material and avoid climbing onto a damaged roof. If water is entering or tiles have become unsafe, phone to discuss the immediate concern.
Dry ridge upgrades for failing mortar
Traditional mortar-bedded ridges can crack or loosen over time, leaving ridge tiles vulnerable where the roof is exposed. On a suitable roof, a compatible dry ridge system offers mechanically secured ridge tiles without relying on mortar bedding alone. The choice must fit the covering, construction and ventilation arrangement. We inspect the ridge line and supporting details before recommending an upgrade, rather than fitting a system over unresolved defects. Dry verge work can also be considered where appropriate. For older or protected buildings, check appearance and consent requirements before changing visible roof details or the existing fixing method.
Tile and slate repairs or a complete re-roof
Bungalows and estate homes can develop leaks at valleys, abutments or a damaged tile, while older town houses may need attention to slate fixings and underlying layers. Water can travel before appearing as an indoor stain, so the inspection considers more than the spot directly overhead. Where renewal is justified, DJW strips the roof to the timbers, addresses damaged timber and fits breathable membrane and gauged battens. The covering is then laid with suitable ridge, verge and valley details. A written quote explains the scope, including why repair is or is not the appropriate option for the condition found.
Leadwork, chimney stacks and flat roofs
Driven rain puts particular demands on roof-to-wall connections and chimney flashings. A loose chase, split lead or inadequate overlap can allow water inside even when the adjacent tiles look sound. DJW removes failing lead, prepares the masonry and dresses replacement pieces by hand. Chimney repairs consider mortar joints, pots, flaunching and flashings together. Extensions and garages need different preparation: EPDM rubber and torch-on felt flat roofs require a sound deck, suitable falls, secure edges and careful upstands. We inspect drainage and the connection to the house so the finished covering does not conceal an underlying problem.

FAQs.
Do you cover Holbeach and Crowland as well as Spalding?
Yes. Coverage includes PE11–PE12, Pinchbeck, Moulton, Weston, Cowbit, Holbeach and Crowland. Contact Danny with the full address to discuss your roof and arrange a free inspection.
Is dry ridge suitable for an exposed fenland roof?
It can be, provided the system suits the tiles and roof construction. We inspect the ridge and supporting details first, then explain whether a dry ridge upgrade is appropriate.
Does storm damage mean I need a complete re-roof?
Not necessarily. Slipped tiles or an isolated damaged junction may be repairable when the surrounding roof is sound. We assess the extent of damage before recommending local repairs or renewal.
Can you repair chimney flashings on a farmhouse?
Yes. We inspect the leadwork, masonry, mortar joints and flaunching together. The repair addresses the source of water rather than assuming the main roof covering is responsible.
What should I do if tiles come loose during high winds?
Keep clear of falling material and do not climb onto the roof. Call 07862 885143 to explain the damage. Safe access and weather conditions determine what can be carried out during an emergency visit.
