Eastleigh grew around its railway works, and the terraces built for it are now well past a century old. We repair and replace roofs across Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford and Fair Oak, with an inspection and a written quotation before anything starts.

Eastleigh is a railway town and its housing follows the works. Long brick terraces built for railway families run through the centre in tight, regular streets, mostly on natural slate originally, many since recovered in concrete tile. Around them sit interwar semis, then large 1960s and 1970s estates, then the modern development pushing out towards Boorley Green. Chandler's Ford is different again, with more detached property, bigger roof areas and more complex shapes, which means more hips, valleys and abutments and more places for water to find a way in.
Two questions decide the cost of an Eastleigh roof: is the covering finished, and is the structure sound. A worn covering over good timber is a strip and recover. A failed covering over rotten rafters is a different job entirely. We answer both before quoting, from inside the loft as well as outside, because getting that wrong is how homeowners end up paying twice. Fifteen years of roofing and one team for the covering, the timbers, the ventilation and the roofline, so nothing gets handed off halfway.
Our experienced team has worked on pitched roofs, flat roofs and roof structures across Hampshire, from minor domestic repairs to full replacements and specialist structural timber work.
We inspect, repair, replace and maintain the whole roof system, from tiles and flashing to timbers, ventilation and guttering, so you never need to appoint several different contractors for one roof.
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.
Slate, concrete tile, and the question of what sits underneath both. These are the ones that come up most on Eastleigh's railway terraces and the larger roofs around Chandler's Ford.
Usually yes, and we match profile and colour as closely as the current ranges allow. Some 1960s and 1970s profiles are no longer made, in which case we will show you the nearest available match and be honest about how it will look against neighbouring houses.

A typical semi or terrace runs three to five working days once scaffold is up, weather allowing. Larger detached roofs, or jobs where timber repairs are needed after the covering comes off, take longer. Your quotation states the expected duration.
Yes. The survey and the written quotation are free and carry no obligation. Where a drone survey is the sensible way to see a roof safely, we can include that too.
Yes, and on Chandler's Ford roofs those are the two most common points of failure. Valleys fail when the lead or the liner reaches the end of its life, hips when the mortar bedding cracks. Both are repairable without touching the rest of the roof in most cases.
It depends on why they are slipping. Individual slates coming down after wind is a repair. Slates coming down steadily across the slope usually means nail fatigue, where the fixings have corroded through, and patching that gets you a few months at a time. We look at the nail heads and the underside before advising either way.
