Winchester's rooftops reflect the city's age as one of Hampshire's oldest cities. Whether it's the Georgian townhouses around the Cathedral Close, the post-war semis scattered across Badger Farm and Weeke, or the dense rows of Victorian terraces running through Hyde and Stanmore, the city's housing stock is truly diverse, with roofing issues that reflect its age. Roofing issues are prevalent and frequently long-standing in this region when you include the rural villages that straddle the Test Valley, the Itchen Valley, and the South Downs National Park. Many of these villages have properties that haven't had their roofs renovated in decades.
The weather in Hampshire is not helpful. Despite Winchester's valley location, the surrounding downland is exposed, and throughout the fall and winter, south westerly weather systems that roll in off the Atlantic put constant strain on roofs. Older mortar deteriorates. Lead lifts. A November storm finally brings down tiles that have been loose for years.
Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh, New Alresford, Bishops Waltham, Kings Worthy, Stockbridge, and the villages throughout the Test and Itchen valleys are all served by our local team, Roof Repairs Winchester. From Victorian slate to contemporary concrete tile to flat felt extensions, we repair all kinds of roofs and offer you frank advice on what needs to be done without trying to upsell.
Looking at our data, 74% of customers went ahead with a roof repair over a replacement and did not regret it. We aim to save costly jobs by providing effective solutions and reasonable rates.
Common Roof Repairs
Most roof problems fall into a handful of categories. Here's what we deal with day in, day out across Winchester and the surrounding area:
Broken or Slipped Tiles and Slates
Water can seep in with just one displaced tile. Ageing fixtures in Winchester's older homes, especially the Victorian and Edwardian homes scattered across the city, frequently cause progressive tile movement. To closely match your existing roof, we replace or re-fix individual tiles and slates.

The flashing of lead around skylights, chimneys, and flat roof edges is a common weak point, especially on older properties in Winchester where the original lead work may be decades old. Depending on its condition, we either replace, re-point, or re-bed the flashing.
Flat Roof Repairs
It is imperative to address any blistering, cracking, or ponding water on a flat roof prior to the necessity of a complete replacement. Periodic maintenance is needed for the flat roofs of extensions in the suburban areas of Winchester. EPDM, GRP, and felt flat roofs are repaired by our team.
Emergency Roof Repairs
We are called out for emergency repairs following heavy rain, storms, or unanticipated events to rapidly address issues before they cause further property damage. Our staff can visit within 24 hours to evaluate the problem and make quick plans for a repair.
Roof Leaks
Leaks can occur for a variety of reasons, including aging, storm damage, failed pointing, and cracked flashing. Instead of patching over the source, we properly trace it.
Chimney Repairs
A significant percentage of Winchester's homes are period homes, many of which have chimney stacks that date back more than a century. Common issues include deteriorating lead work, loose chimney pots, and crumbling mortar. We repair complete chimney stacks, re-bedding, and pointing.
Ridge and Hip Repairs
One of the most often occurring call-outs are ridge tiles; mortar fails, tiles slip, and the ridge turns into a direct water access point. We re-bed and correctly re-point hip and ridge sections.
New Facias, Soffits, Gutters
Failing fascia boards and damaged or blocked guttering frequently accompany roof issues. As part of a repair visit, we address these issues as necessary.
