Roofers in Hedge End
Hedge End is largely late twentieth century housing, and its roofs are now reaching the age where verges, ridges and flat extensions start to let go. We inspect, repair and replace across Hedge End, Botley and West End.
Roof Repairs and Replacements Across Hedge End and Botley
Most of Hedge End was built between the 1960s and the 1990s, and that gives the area a fairly consistent roofing picture. Concrete interlocking tiles on trussed rafters, mortar-bedded ridges and verges, and a garage, extension or conservatory attached to a good proportion of houses. Those additions are where a lot of the problems start. Felt flat roofs laid thirty years ago are well past their design life, older polycarbonate and glass conservatory roofs leak at the abutment, and mortar verges crack and shell off after enough freeze and thaw cycles. None of that means a new roof. In most Hedge End houses the main slope is serviceable and the work is targeted: a dry verge or dry ridge system replacing failed mortar, a flat roof recovered in GRP or EPDM, new flashings where an extension meets the wall. We inspect the whole roof, then quote for the parts that need it.
Most Estate Roofs Need Sections, Not a Replacement
Most of the Hedge End roofs we look at do not need replacing. They need a verge, a ridge, a flashing or a flat roof over an extension dealt with properly, and the main slope left alone. We will tell you that even though the smaller job is the smaller invoice, because a contractor who recommends a full roof every time is not worth calling twice. Fifteen years of experience, one team covering tiles, roofline, flat roofs and ventilation, and a written quotation setting out exactly what we propose to touch.

What Hedge End Homeowners Ask Before Booking
Verges, ridges, flat roofs and conservatories account for most of what we are asked locally. These are the questions that come up across Hedge End, Botley and West End.
Which areas around Hedge End do you cover?
Hedge End, Botley, West End, Bursledon, Netley and out to Eastleigh, Bishop's Waltham and Southampton. Call with your postcode if you are on the edge of that.
Do you provide free roofing quotations?
Yes, free and with no obligation, including free initial advice if you just want to know whether something needs doing yet.
Do you clear gutters and repair fascias and soffits?
Yes. Gutter clearing, gutter and downpipe repair, full replacement and uPVC fascia and soffit installation. On houses of this age the roofline is often the first thing to need attention, and blocked guttering is a common cause of damp that gets blamed on the roof.
Can you replace a leaking conservatory roof?
Yes. Often the leak is at the flashing where the conservatory meets the house rather than the roof itself, which is a much smaller job. Where the roof itself has had it, we can replace with a modern glazed or insulated system and sort the abutment properly at the same time.
Which flat roofing system should I have on my garage or extension?
It depends on the roof, not on which system we prefer. GRP fibreglass suits smaller areas with straightforward shapes and gives a seamless finish. EPDM rubber handles movement and larger spans well and goes down in a single sheet. Felt is still a valid option on a budget. We survey the deck first, because a soft deck has to be replaced whatever goes over it.
The mortar along my roof edge is cracking and falling off. Is that serious?
It is worth dealing with before it lets water or wind under the tiles. That edge detail is the verge, and once mortar bedding fails the end tiles lose their hold. A dry verge system replaces it with mechanical fixings and no mortar, which stops the cycle repeating.
