Roofers in Overton
Overton is a mill village with Victorian workers' housing at its centre and open downland around it. We repair and replace roofs across Overton, Laverstoke and the surrounding villages.
Roof Repairs and Replacements Across Overton
Overton grew around its mill on the Test, and the housing built for the mill workforce still defines much of the village: regular brick terraces and semis, clay tile and slate, laid to a consistent pattern and now all of a similar age. Around them are older cottages, twentieth century estate housing and modern development on the edges, plus farms and outbuildings in the surrounding countryside. Housing built together fails together, and on Overton's older terraces that shows up as nail fatigue in slate, perished underfelt where felt exists at all, and mortar ridge and verge work reaching the end of its life across a whole run of houses. None of that means every roof needs replacing at once. Exposure, orientation and previous repairs put neighbouring properties years apart. We get into the loft, look at the fixings and the timber, and quote for the roof in front of us.
Identical Houses, Different Roofs
Houses built together age together, then diverge. Two identical Overton terraces can be a decade apart depending on which way they face and what has been done to them since. So we look at your fixings, your underfelt and your timber rather than assuming the street's answer applies to you. Fifteen years of roofing means we can show you the evidence for a repair or for a recover, whichever it is. Photographs, an honest view on timing, and a written quotation with no obligation attached.
15+ Years of Roofing Experience
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.
Complete Roofing Service
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.
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 Overton Homeowners Ask Before Booking
Slipping slate, recovering against rebuilding, and what a free survey covers. These are the ones that come up most across Overton, Laverstoke and the villages nearby.
Which areas around Overton do you cover?
Overton, Laverstoke, Steventon, North Waltham, Kingsclere, Whitchurch and out to Basingstoke and Andover. Call with your postcode to confirm.
Do you offer roof maintenance rather than one-off repairs?
Yes. Maintenance visits covering gutter clearing, moss removal, tile and leadwork inspection and minor preventative repairs. On older housing it is the cheapest way to avoid the larger bills.
Do you work on farm buildings?
Yes. Outbuildings, barns and larger agricultural spans, including timber repair, re-covering and structural work, with access and safe working assessed first.
Do you repair ridge tiles?
Yes, and we will discuss whether to re-bed in mortar or fit a dry ridge system. On the more exposed roofs around the village the mechanical system generally lasts better, though it costs more up front.
Is it cheaper to recover the roof or replace the whole structure?
Recovering is far cheaper, and it is the right answer whenever the timbers and the structure are sound. Full structural replacement is rare and we would not propose it without showing you why. That is the main thing a survey settles.
My slates keep slipping. Can they just be re-fixed?
Individual slips can be re-fixed. Steady losses across a slope usually mean the nails have corroded through, and once that starts, re-fixing buys months rather than years. We look at the nail heads from inside the loft, which is the quickest way to tell the two apart.
