Roof Repairs and Replacements Across Horndean and Catherington
Horndean's older heart grew around brewing, and it still holds Victorian brick and flint property with clay tile and slate roofs, some of it with the steep pitches and altered shapes that come with buildings changed over a century. Around and above it, Catherington, Blendworth and the later estates brought large-scale twentieth century housing: concrete interlocking tiles, trussed rafters, mortar ridges and verges, and the usual complement of garages, extensions and conservatories. The village sits on rising chalk ground, which means exposure increases as you go up. Roofs on the higher streets see noticeably more wind than those in the dip, and it shows in cracked ridge bedding, shelling verges and flashings that have worked loose at abutments. Very often the covering is fine and the details have failed. We inspect the whole roof, in the loft as well as from outside, and quote for the parts that need work.
We Look in the Loft Before We Quote
We do not quote Horndean roofs from the pavement. Daylight through the felt, staining on the rafters, corroded nail heads and condensation on the underlay only show from inside, and they are what separates a repair from a replacement. Ten minutes in the loft has saved plenty of homeowners here the cost of a roof they did not need. Fifteen years of experience across covering, timber, ventilation and roofline, one team for the lot, and a written quotation that explains what we found and what we propose.

What Horndean Homeowners Ask Before Booking
Why a loft inspection matters, damp with no visible leak, and chimney work. These are the ones that come up most across Horndean, Catherington and Blendworth.
Which areas around Horndean do you cover?
Horndean, Catherington, Blendworth, Clanfield, Cowplain, Rowland's Castle and out to Waterlooville, Havant and Petersfield. Call with your postcode if you are unsure.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Three to five working days for a typical house once scaffold is up, weather allowing. Larger roofs and jobs needing timber repair after strip-off take longer, and your written quotation states the expected duration.
Do you replace roof windows?
Yes. Velux and other roof window installation and replacement, flashing kit renewal and repairs to the roof around an existing window. Leaks at roof windows are usually the flashing kit rather than the window itself.
Can you repoint or rebuild a chimney?
Yes. Repointing, rebuilding, new lead flashings, cowl fitting and full removal where a stack is redundant and beyond economic repair. On older Horndean property the chimney is a frequent source of internal damp.
Damp is showing on an upstairs ceiling but there is no obvious leak. What causes that?
Three common culprits: condensation from poor loft ventilation, a chimney or flashing letting water in above the stain, or guttering overflowing into the wall. All three read as a roof leak from inside. We identify which before recommending anything.
Why do you need to look inside the loft?
Because the underside tells you what the outside cannot. Daylight through the felt, water staining on rafters, perished underlay, corroded nail heads and condensation all show from inside, and they are what separates a repair from a replacement. A quote given from the pavement is a guess.
