Roofers in Alresford
New Alresford's colour-washed Georgian street is one of the most photographed in Hampshire, and most of it is listed. We repair and replace roofs here in materials and methods that suit the buildings.
Roof Repairs and Replacements Across Alresford
Alresford is a small Georgian town with an unusually intact centre. Broad Street and the streets off it hold listed, colour-washed frontages inside a conservation area, roofed in clay plain tile and natural slate, with steep pitches, parapets, valleys and chimney stacks that have been altered many times over. Behind them sit older cottages, some very old timber structures, and roofs where the original carpentry is still doing its job. On buildings like these the work is precise rather than large. Matching tiles, salvaging what can be reused, renewing lead properly, repointing and rebuilding chimneys to the original detail, repairing rafters and purlins in place instead of stripping out sound structure. Consent matters too, and we would rather establish the position with you at survey stage. Outside the centre, Old Alresford and the surrounding villages bring farmhouses, outbuildings and later housing, all of which we cover as well.
Small, Careful Work on Buildings That Deserve It
Work on Alresford's listed frontages is small, careful and precise rather than large. Matched tiles, salvaged where possible. Lead renewed properly. Chimneys repointed and rebuilt to the original detail. Timber spliced and strengthened instead of stripped out. Access planned around a narrow high street before the day, not on it. Fifteen years of roofing on older property means we know which repairs a building like yours will accept. You get photographs, an honest order of priority if the work is better spread over a few years, and a written quotation.

Honest Advice & Clear Quotations
We recommend the work your roof genuinely needs, never a full replacement by default. Every quotation is clear and written, with free, no-obligation advice to help you decide.
What Alresford Homeowners Ask Before Booking
Listed building consent, access on a narrow high street and whether old timber can be repaired rather than replaced. These are the ones that come up most on Broad Street and the streets off it.
Which areas around Alresford do you cover?
New Alresford, Old Alresford, Bishop's Sutton, Ropley, Itchen Abbas, Northington and out towards Alton, Petersfield and Winchester. Call with your postcode to check.
Do you provide roof condition reports?
Yes, with photographs, findings and recommendations in writing. Owners of older property often use them to plan work over a few years rather than all at once, and we are happy to advise on order of priority.
My roof has a parapet and I get damp on the wall below. Why?
Parapets and the hidden gutters behind them are a classic source. Once the lead lining or the pointing fails, water goes into the wall rather than off the roof, and nothing looks wrong from the ground. It needs looking at from above to diagnose.
Can you repair old roof timbers rather than replace them?
Where the timber allows, yes, and it is usually the better outcome on an old building. We splice, sister and strengthen in place, and replace only the sections that have genuinely gone. Timber inspection comes as part of the survey.
How do you handle access on a narrow high street?
Carefully, and planned in advance. Scaffold on a pavement needs a licence, deliveries need timing around the street, and on some frontages the answer is a tower or a different lift rather than a full scaffold. We work that out at survey and give you the arrangements in writing.
Can you work on a listed building on Broad Street?
Yes. Like-for-like repair in matching materials is normally the appropriate approach. Anything that changes the appearance or fabric of a listed building needs listed building consent from Winchester City Council, and we will tell you where we think your job sits before anything is arranged.
