Roofers in Alton
Alton keeps a Georgian and Victorian centre inside a conservation area, with twentieth century housing spreading out from it. We repair and replace roofs across the town and the villages around it.
Roof Repairs and Replacements Across Alton
Alton is an old Hampshire market and brewing town, and its centre shows it. Georgian and Victorian frontages along the High Street and the roads off it, much of it inside a conservation area with listed buildings among it, roofed in clay plain tile and natural slate with steep pitches, valleys, parapets and chimney stacks. Those roofs need matching materials and proper lead detailing, and sometimes consent, which is worth settling before work is planned. Beyond the centre come the interwar and postwar estates and later development, mostly concrete tile with mortar ridges and verges, and the usual garages, extensions and conservatories attached. The surrounding villages add farmhouses, cottages and outbuildings. We take the same approach across all of it: get up and into the roof, work out what is failing and why, then give you a written quotation for the work that is genuinely needed.
Diagnosis First, Quotation Second
Water rarely gets in where the stain appears. It runs along rafters, battens and felt before it drops, which is why we work back from the wet patch to the entry point instead of pricing the nearest thing that looks wrong. Fifteen years of roofing across Alton's older centre and its estates means we know where these roofs let go: flashings, valleys, chimneys and roof windows more often than tiles. Photographs of the cause, honest advice on urgency, and a written quotation for the fix.

What Alton Homeowners Ask Before Booking
Tracing a leak back to its entry point, conservation area rules, and matching old clay tile. These are the ones that come up most across Alton, Holybourne and Four Marks.
Which areas around Alton do you cover?
Alton, Holybourne, Beech, Chawton, Bentley, Four Marks, Medstead and out towards Odiham, Petersfield, Alresford and Basingstoke. Call with your postcode to check.
Do you repair chimneys and leadwork in Alton?
Yes. Repointing, rebuilding, flaunching, new lead flashings, lead valleys and cowl fitting, plus removal of redundant stacks. On Alton's older property the chimney and its lead are a more common source of internal damp than the tiles around them, and putting that right often means the covering can be left alone.
Do you install roof ventilation and replacement insulation?
Yes, both, and they are usually best considered together. Adding insulation without sorting ventilation is how lofts end up with condensation that gets mistaken for a leak.
Can you match old clay plain tiles?
In most cases. We reuse sound tiles from your own roof first, then source reclaimed or handmade equivalents for the shortfall, and show you the match before it goes up.
Do you work on conservation area and listed properties?
Yes. Repair in matching materials normally sits within the rules. Changes to appearance or fabric may need conservation area or listed building consent from East Hampshire District Council, and we will tell you what we think applies to your job.
How do you find a leak when the ceiling stain is nowhere near the roof problem?
By working back from where the water lands. Water runs along rafters, battens and felt before it drops, so the entry point is often metres away. We look for the mechanism, checking flashings, valleys, chimneys, roof windows and the covering above the stain, and we would rather spend time on that than guess.
