Roofing in Winchester
Winchester's roofscape is unusually old for our area. Steep pitches, clay plain tiles, natural slate, dormers, valleys and chimney stacks: work that rewards care and punishes a quick patch.
Around the city there is plenty of twentieth-century housing too, where the usual concrete-tile-and-tired-felt story applies, along with modern developments on the edges.
Much of the centre sits within conservation designations and some property is listed, so material choice matters more here than almost anywhere else we work.
We work throughout Winchester and the surrounding area, including Stanmore, Weeke, St Cross, Badger Farm, Kings Worthy. 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 Winchester
- Period city property with plain clay tiles and natural slate on steep pitches
- Terraced housing with shared valleys and multiple chimney stacks
- Interwar and post-war suburban housing with concrete and clay tiles
- Modern developments where roof window flashings are the common fault

More detailRoof problems we see again and again in Winchester
Steep pitches and complex shapes
Steep roofs shed water well, which is why they have lasted, but they also concentrate it into valleys and against stacks. Those junctions are where the failures are, and they need proper detail work rather than a smear of sealant.
Water entering at a valley can travel a long way along rafters before it shows. Tracing it is the difference between a repair that works and one that gets repeated.
Conservation areas and material matching
In conservation areas and on listed property, what goes on the roof matters as much as how. Check what consents apply before commissioning work; we will flag plainly where a change of material could be a problem.
We match profile, colour, size and thickness as closely as the market allows and show you the match before fitting, because a wrong tile on a Winchester elevation is permanent.
Loft conversions and roof windows
The city has a lot of converted lofts, and roof windows are the most common leak point we are called to. The usual cause is the wrong flashing kit for the tile profile, or sealant used where flashing should be.
Where the unit itself is sound we re-flash rather than replace: considerably cheaper, and it fixes the actual fault.
