Pitched Roof Replacement in Hampshire

When Does a Pitched Roof Need Replacing?

A full roof replacement is a significant investment, and it's not always necessary. However, there are situations where replacement is the smarter long-term choice:

• Multiple leak points — When water is getting in at several locations, patch repairs become false economy.
• Repairs don't hold — If fixes keep failing or problems return quickly, the underlying structure may be the issue.
• Widespread tile damage — Tiles breaking, slipping, or missing frequently indicates the covering has reached end of life.
• Sagging or uneven roofline — Can indicate structural issues that need addressing with a full replacement.
• Persistent damp in the loft — Despite repairs, if moisture keeps getting in, the roof membrane may have failed.
• Age of the roof — Pitched roofs typically last 50-70 years. If yours is approaching this age, replacement may be due.

We'll never recommend replacement if a repair will genuinely solve the problem. Our survey will give you the facts to make an informed decision.

Our Replacement Process

A roof replacement is a major project. Here's how we approach it:

1. Comprehensive survey — We assess the entire roof structure, not just the covering.
2. Options discussion — We explain material choices and their implications.
3. Detailed quote — Itemised breakdown so you know exactly what you're paying for.
4. Scaffolding erection — Safe access for our team and protection for your property.
5. Careful strip-down — Removing old materials with care for what's below.
6. Structural repairs — Addressing any timber or structural issues found.
7. Quality installation — New membrane, battens, and covering installed to manufacturer specifications.
8. Final inspection — We check every detail before we consider the job complete.

Materials We Use

We use quality materials from trusted manufacturers. Depending on your property and preferences, options include:

• Traditional clay tiles (matching existing character)
• Concrete tiles (cost-effective and durable)
• Natural slate (premium appearance and longevity)
• Composite slates (lighter weight, consistent quality)

We'll advise on what works best for your property type, local planning considerations, and budget.

Timeline and What to Expect

A typical pitched roof replacement typically takes 1-3 weeks, however all work is weather dependent. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the survey. During the work:

• We maintain access to your home throughout
• The site is secured each evening
• We clean up daily and thoroughly at project end
• We keep you updated on progress
