Roofing Services for Residential and Commercial Properties
Residential Roofing: Residential roofing can include roof repairs, new roof installation, roof replacement, tiling and slating, flat roofing, leadwork, roof windows, roofline work, storm damage repairs and ongoing maintenance. Whether a roof requires a local repair or more extensive work depends on its condition, the extent of damage and the expected service life of the existing roof.
Commercial Roofing: Commercial roofing requirements can vary according to the building type, roof size, access, use of the property and working arrangements. We can provide roofing repairs, maintenance, replacement and new installation for commercial properties, including flat and metal roofing systems where appropriate. Larger commercial projects may require careful planning around access, scheduling, safety and coordination with other contractors or building works.

Roof Inspections and Assessments
Not sure what is wrong with your roof? Arrange a roofing assessment to help establish the condition and likely cause of the problem.
A roof inspection can help identify visible damage, deterioration and areas that may require further attention. Depending on the roof, this can include checking roof coverings, flashing, valleys, ridges, roof edges, roofline components and drainage.
An assessment can help establish whether the appropriate solution is a local repair, maintenance work, partial replacement or a complete roof replacement. Identifying the underlying cause is important when dealing with recurring leaks or other roofing problems.
Common Roofing Problems in Hampshire
Noticed a leak, damaged tile or other roof problem? Call our team before a small issue develops into more extensive damage.
Common Roofing Problem | What It Can Involve |
Roof Leaks and Water Ingress | Roof leaks can result from damaged coverings, failed flashing, roof junctions, blocked drainage or deterioration around roof openings. Finding the source of the water ingress is an important part of determining the appropriate repair. |
Missing, Broken or Slipped Tiles | Tiles can become cracked, broken or displaced through age, weather exposure, impact or movement. Damaged or missing tiles can allow water to enter the roof structure and may require prompt repair. |
Damaged or Missing Slates | Slates can crack, slip or become dislodged over time. Repairs may involve replacing damaged slates and checking surrounding areas for further deterioration. |
Storm and Weather Damage | Strong winds and severe weather can damage tiles, slates, ridge tiles, flashing, roof edges and other components. A post-storm inspection can help identify visible damage and potential areas of water ingress. |
Failed Flashing and Roof Junctions | Flashing helps weatherproof areas where different roof elements meet. Deteriorated or poorly functioning flashing can allow water to enter around chimneys, abutments, valleys and other junctions. |
Flat Roof Leaks and Drainage Problems | Flat roofs depend on effective waterproofing and drainage. Blocked outlets, standing water, damaged membranes and failed detailing can contribute to leaks and deterioration. |
Damaged Fascias, Soffits and Guttering | Damaged roofline components can affect the way rainwater is directed away from the building. Faulty gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits may need repair or replacement. |
Ridge, Verge and Roof Edge Damage | Ridges, verges and roof edges are exposed to weather and can deteriorate or become displaced. Damage in these areas can affect the security and weather resistance of the roof. |
Chimney and Roof Junction Problems | Chimney areas and roof junctions can be vulnerable to water ingress where flashing, mortar, coverings or surrounding details have deteriorated. These areas may require careful inspection and repair. |
Moss, Debris and Organic Growth | Moss, leaves and debris can accumulate on roofs and around drainage systems. Excessive build-up can affect water flow and may conceal damaged or deteriorated roof components. |
Condensation and Ventilation Issues | Poor ventilation can contribute to condensation within roof spaces. Roof insulation and ventilation should be considered together to help maintain an appropriate roof environment. |
Roof Repair or Replacement: Which Is Appropriate?
When Roof Repair May Be Suitable
A repair may be appropriate where damage is localised and the wider roof remains in suitable condition. Examples can include isolated tile or slate damage, localised flashing problems, limited storm damage and individual leaks.
When Roof Replacement May Be Considered
Replacement may be considered where there is widespread deterioration, repeated leaking, extensive damage or multiple areas requiring ongoing repairs. The age and remaining serviceability of the roof can also influence the decision.
Why Identifying the Cause Matters
Repairing only the visible symptom may not resolve an underlying roofing problem. Water can travel through roof structures before becoming visible internally, so the surrounding area and relevant junctions should be considered.
Avoiding Unnecessary Work
Not every roofing problem requires complete replacement. A proper assessment can help distinguish between a local repair, maintenance requirement, partial replacement and a full roof renewal.
Roofing Materials and Systems
Considering different roofing materials? Email our team to discuss which systems may be suitable for your property and project requirements.
Roofing Material / System | Description |
Clay and Concrete Tiles | Clay and concrete tiles are widely used for pitched roofs and are available in different profiles, colours and finishes. The appropriate tile depends on the roof design, structure and existing materials. |
Natural Slate | Natural slate provides a durable and traditional roof covering and is commonly associated with period and character properties. Repairs and replacement should consider the existing slate, roof structure and detailing. |
Metal Roofing | Metal roofing can provide a practical solution for suitable roof designs and building types. Material and system selection should reflect the roof structure, appearance, exposure and intended use. |
Zinc, Copper, Aluminium and Stainless Steel | Different metals can be used for specialist roofing, architectural details, cladding and weatherproofing applications. Their suitability depends on the design, location, detailing and requirements of the project. |
Single-Ply and Membrane Roofing | Single-ply and membrane systems can be suitable for certain flat and low-pitched roof applications. Correct installation and detailing are important for long-term weather resistance. |
EPDM and GRP Roofing | EPDM and GRP systems can be used for suitable flat roofing applications. The appropriate system depends on the roof design, substrate, drainage and project requirements. |
Lead Roofing | Lead is commonly used for roof junctions, valleys, flashings and specialist roofing details. Its use should be appropriate to the design and existing construction. |
Matching Existing Materials | For repairs and extensions, matching existing roof materials can help maintain the appearance and character of the property. Availability, age, colour, profile and condition may all need to be considered. |

Our Roofing Process From Inspection to Completion
Discuss Your Requirements
We begin by understanding your property, the existing roof, any visible problems and the type of roofing work you are considering. This helps us understand the scope of the project and the outcome you are looking for.
Assess Existing Roof
We assess the visible condition of the roof and relevant components, looking for damaged or deteriorated coverings, flashing, ridges, valleys, roof edges and other areas that may require attention.
Recommend Appropriate Solution
Based on the condition of the roof and your requirements, we discuss the most suitable approach. This may include repairs, maintenance, partial replacement, complete roof replacement or a new roof installation.
Prepare the Project
Before work begins, the project is planned around suitable materials, access, site conditions, safety, scheduling and any relevant requirements. Where necessary, associated work and practical considerations are also addressed.
Complete Roofing Work
The agreed roofing work is then carried out using appropriate materials and methods suited to the property, existing roof and project requirements, with attention given to the quality and detailing of the finished work.
Check Key Roof Details
Throughout the work, relevant areas such as roof coverings, flashing, ridges, valleys, roof edges, roof windows and drainage are considered to ensure the key elements of the roof are properly addressed.
