Is Roof Repairs the Right Fix for Your Chandler’s Ford Roof?

A roof fault in Chandler’s Ford rarely starts as a downpour indoors — it starts as a stain, a slipped tile or grit in the gutter. Here is what to watch for.

• Slates or tiles visibly slipped, cracked or missing from the ground
• A ridge tile that has lifted or lost its mortar bedding
• A stain on the loft timbers directly below a specific slate
• A run of slates slipping one after another (nail sickness)
• Granules of tile or mortar collecting in the gutters

When it is not the answer: If more than a third of the covering has failed, or nail sickness has spread across a whole slope, repairing tile-by-tile is money wasted Read the full guide.

Job Durations at a Glance

On Chandler’s Ford jobs we allow for the weather off the coast; any opened-up area is made watertight before we leave each day.

Getting Safely onto Chandler’s Ford Roofs

Scaffold is specified for: chimney-side repairs, full valley rebuilds, mid-terrace houses with no side access, and anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

Disruption, Mess & Weather

A day of ladder or tower work and a small amount of tile debris — we sheet below the work area and clear everything before we leave. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
