FAQs
What roofing services do you provide in Winchester?
Our Winchester team handles complete roof replacements, new roof installations, leak detection and repair, slate and tile restoration, flat-roof membranes (EPDM and TPO), chimney flashing, fascia/soffit repair, gutter installation, and 24-hour emergency call-outs. All work is performed by fully insured, manufacturer-certified technicians familiar with Winchester’s planning regulations and architectural styles.
How much does a new roof cost in Winchester?
Costs depend on roof size, pitch, access, chosen material, and any structural repairs required. Asphalt shingle roofs for an average 3-bed semi typically start around £5,000–£7,000, while premium slate or clay tile roofs can range from £12,000–£20,000. We offer free, no-obligation surveys, detailed written estimates, and financing options to spread payments over 3–10 years.
How long will my roofing project take?
Small repairs are usually completed the same day. A typical reroof on a standard Winchester terraced house takes 2–3 days, while larger detached properties or heritage slate projects may require 1–2 weeks. We supply a clear schedule in advance, keep scaffolding time to a minimum, and provide daily progress updates.
Do I need planning permission or building control approval?
Most like-for-like re-roofing jobs are classed as ‘permitted development’ and don’t need planning permission. However, if you live in Winchester’s Conservation Areas, a listed building, or you plan to change the roof’s height, shape, or material, permission may be required. Building Control must be notified whenever 25 % or more of the roof covering is replaced; we handle all paperwork, fees, and final inspections on your behalf.
Which roofing materials work best for Winchester’s climate?
Winchester sees a mix of heavy autumn rains, occasional high winds, and some summer UV exposure. For pitched roofs, breathable felt underlay combined with premium concrete tiles or natural slate offers excellent water shedding and wind resistance. For low-slope roofs, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass perform well due to their seamless finish and UV stability. We only specify materials with at least a 20-year manufacturer warranty.
What guarantees and after-sales support do you offer?
All new roofs come with a 10-year workmanship warranty backed by insurance, plus material warranties of 20–50 years depending on the product. You’ll receive a written certificate upon completion. We carry out a free inspection 12 months after installation and remain on call for any issues. Emergency storm repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and we can provide ongoing maintenance plans to prolong your roof’s life.
