Roofing in Andover
Andover expanded rapidly from the 1960s onwards, and a huge proportion of its housing dates from that period. Those roofs share a specification and therefore share a failure point, original underlay that has now had well over half a century of service.
There is also older property in and around the town centre and plenty of rural housing in the Test valley villages, which brings clay tiles, slate and more complicated roof shapes into the mix.
The town sits fairly high and open, so wind exposure on the estates is a real factor, particularly along ridge lines and gable verges.
We work throughout Andover and the surrounding area, including Charlton, Weyhill, Picket Piece, Anna Valley, Abbotts Ann. Normal working hours are 8am–5pm and we respond outside them wherever we can; for emergency call-outs we aim to be with you within 3 hours, depending on your location and our availability.
Property types we work on in Andover
- 1960s–70s expansion estates with concrete interlocking tiles on original felt
- Older town-centre property with clay tiles and slate
- Rural Test valley housing with more complex roof shapes
- Bungalows with low-pitched roofs that hold debris and moss

More detailRoof problems we see again and again in Andover
One generation of roofs, one expiry date
Rapid expansion means a huge number of Andover roofs were built within a short window to similar specifications. They are now reaching the end of their underlay life together, which is why whole streets start needing attention at once.
The upside is that the answer is often the cheaper one: keep the tiles, replace the felt and battens. We will tell you when that is enough and when it genuinely is not.
Wind on open estate sites
Estate housing on open ground has little shelter. Wind hits ridges, hips and gable verges first, and those are exactly where the mortar has aged worst.
Loose ridge tiles above a drive or path are a safety issue, not just a roofing one, and they are the most common thing we are called out to after a storm here.
Low-pitch bungalow roofs
Andover has plenty of bungalows, and low-pitched roofs drain slowly and hold debris. Moss builds up, gutters block, and water ends up running down the wall instead of the downpipe.
Regular clearing is cheap. The damp and blown tile faces that follow from leaving it are not.
