Local roof repairs specialists covering Oakridge, Basingstoke. We know the 1960s mixed terraces and semis here — split between regenerated and unregenerated properties and every other common issue on this estate.
Oakridge presents two distinct repair scenarios. Regenerated properties have modern roofs needing only periodic maintenance. Unregenerated 1960s originals have the same nail sickness, mortar failure and underlay deterioration found across all of Basingstoke's overspill stock. We match our repair approach to the actual condition — not a one-size-fits-all estimate.
Partially regenerated 1960s estate — visible contrast between new and original roofs. The 1960s mixed terraces and semis along Shakespeare Road, Austen Road, Oakridge Road present specific roof repairs challenges: split between regenerated and unregenerated properties. Our approach is tailored to these exact conditions — not a generic specification applied to every Basingstoke property regardless of its neighbourhood.
Every repair starts with finding the actual cause, not the visible symptom. Water entering a roof rarely appears inside directly beneath the failure point — it tracks along battens, runs down rafters, and emerges metres away. We inspect from ladder access externally and from inside the loft, following the moisture trail back to its source. On Oakridge properties this matters particularly, because the split between regenerated and unregenerated properties means adjacent houses can be in completely different condition.
Once located, we photograph the failure and show you exactly what has gone wrong before quoting. You see the problem, understand the fix, and know what you are paying for. No vague "your roof needs work" assessments.
Replacement tiles are matched to your existing roof by profile, colour and manufacturer wherever possible. We carry the common profiles found across Oakridge and can source unusual patterns within days. Fixings are stainless steel or aluminium alloy only — never the iron nails that caused nail sickness on this area's original roofs. Lead is code 4 minimum for flashings, code 5 for valleys. Mortar is a flexible modified mix that accommodates thermal movement rather than cracking.
We clean the site, remove all debris and old materials, and walk you through the completed work. You receive a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. If the same fault recurs within that period, we return and fix it at no cost. We also flag any developing issues we noticed while on the roof — not as a sales pitch, but so you can plan ahead rather than face an emergency later.

Call 0125 624 2410The cost of a roof repair is driven by three things: access, materials, and the extent of what we find. A single slipped tile reachable from a ladder is at the bottom of the range. The same tile on a three-storey elevation needing scaffold moves toward the top. Widespread nail sickness across a whole slope is a different job again, priced closer to partial re-roofing than to a repair.
We quote after inspecting, never over the phone, because a sight-unseen estimate is a guess that helps neither of us. What you get is a fixed written price for defined work, and if we find something additional once we start we stop and discuss it with you before continuing.
