Roofing in Eastleigh

Eastleigh grew as a railway town, and its older housing reflects it: long, consistent rows of terraced and semi-detached property built for railway workers, with the shared valleys and party-wall junctions that terraces always bring.

Around that there are 1930s semis and post-war estates with concrete tiles, most now on their original underlay.

Close enough to Southampton to catch some coastal weather, Eastleigh roofs also see wind-driven rain finding its way under coverings at edges and junctions.

We work throughout Eastleigh and the surrounding area, including Bishopstoke, Fair Oak, Chandler's Ford, Boyatt Wood, Hedge End. 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.

  • 1930s semis with clay tiles and exposed gable verges

Roof problems we see again and again in Eastleigh

Terraces and shared responsibility

Long terraced runs share valleys and party-wall junctions, and water entering at one point can surface several doors down. That makes a proper inspection essential, and it makes photographs valuable when responsibility is shared.

We document what we find so you have something concrete to show a neighbour, a landlord or a managing agent rather than an opinion.

Slate roofs and nail fatigue

Victorian slate is remarkably durable; the nails holding it are not. Once nail fatigue sets in, slates slip in ones and twos across a slope and keep doing it after each individual repair.

At that point re-felting and re-fixing the slope is what actually solves it, and we will say so rather than booking a run of repeat visits.

Wind-driven rain from the south

Close to the coast, rain comes in sideways more often than it does inland. Wind-driven water gets under coverings at verges, eaves and ridges: places that are fine in vertical rain and not at all fine in horizontal.

Sound edge detailing and properly bedded ridges do most of the work in keeping those roofs dry.

Why Eastleigh homeowners call us

We are owner-operated, so the person who quotes your roof is the person responsible for it. Inspections and quotations are free, with no call-out charge for a quotation, and once we have seen the job you get a fixed price: no day rates and no surprises once the ladders are up.

Work is covered by £1 million public liability insurance. Full roof replacements come with a 20-year workmanship guarantee; guarantees on other work vary depending on the job and the materials used, and we confirm that in writing with your quote.

You get photographs of what was wrong and what we did, the site swept and the rubbish taken away. Payment is by bank transfer or cash, with stage payments available on larger projects.
