Local Roofers Who Know Eastleigh
Eastleigh's housing follows a clear pattern outward from the town centre. The streets closest to Eastleigh Station — particularly around Campbell Road and the older parts of the town — contain Victorian and Edwardian terraces with clay tile or Welsh slate roofing. Moving outward, the 1930s and 1950s semis of Chandler's Ford Road and Bishopstoke Road have concrete interlocking tile roofs that are now approaching 70 to 80 years old in places.
The large post-war development around Fair Oak Road and the more modern Barton Park development represent the newer end of Eastleigh's housing stock. Here, concrete tiles from the 1970s and 1980s are at the point where nail sickness in tile fixings is starting to show up, and flat-roofed extensions need attention.
Common Roofing Problems in Eastleigh
On the older Victorian stock near the town centre, nail sickness in Welsh slate fixings causes slates to slip progressively. The 1930s to 1950s semis see ridge tile mortar failure as the most common repair call — flexible mortar bedding is the right solution. On post-war estates, blocked valleys after autumn leaf fall cause the majority of leak calls each October and November.
