Slate delamination on Victorian properties along London Street. Clay tile matching difficulties in the conservation area — planners require like-for-like replacements. Chimney stack repointing on Georgian townhouses exposed to the westerly Test Valley weather.
Whitchurch sits in the Test Valley, one of Hampshire's most significant chalk river corridors. The valley position creates higher humidity than the Basingstoke plateau, and the River Test's water meadows produce ground-level mists that keep roof surfaces damp well into mid-morning during autumn and winter. For roof repairs work, this creates specific challenges that differ from sheltered Basingstoke sites.
Whitchurch's housing is predominantly mixed — Georgian and Victorian core, post-war fringes stock, with a conservation area covering the historic centre along London Street and Bell Street. Period properties use handmade clay tiles and Welsh slate that require heritage-sensitive repair. Post-war estates on the southern fringe have standard concrete tiles. Conservation area constraints mean all visible roof work on the historic centre must use like-for-like materials approved by Test Valley Borough Council planning department. Machine-made tiles and synthetic slate are not acceptable.
Repairing roofs on London Street and Bell Street properties requires materials that satisfy Test Valley Borough Council conservation requirements. We source reclaimed handmade clay tiles from Hampshire and Wiltshire reclamation yards, and carry out slate repairs using Welsh slate matched to the existing roof in size, thickness and colour. Every visible repair in the conservation zone must be indistinguishable from the surrounding original work — and we have the sourcing contacts and craft skills to achieve this.
The River Test creates a damp microclimate that accelerates mortar deterioration on chimney stacks and ridge lines. Properties along Winchester Road and the lower sections of London Street see moisture-related damage develop faster than equivalent buildings on higher ground. We use flexible pointing compounds on ridge re-beds in Whitchurch to accommodate the greater thermal and moisture cycling.

Call 0125 624 2410Every repair starts with a proper diagnosis. We inspect the roof from ladder access — not just a glance from the ground — and check the loft space for signs of water tracking that reveal the true source of the problem. Many leaks in Whitchurch are caused by issues several feet from where the water appears inside. Repairing the wrong spot wastes your money and our time.
Once we have identified the cause, we quote the repair in writing before starting work. No surprises, no scope creep. If we find additional problems during the repair — which happens occasionally on older mixed-era stock — we stop, show you, and agree the additional work and cost before proceeding.
We carry stock of the most common tile profiles found across Whitchurch's housing: Redland 49, Marley Modern, Marley Ludlow Plus, and a range of clay plain tiles for older properties. For lead work we use code 4 minimum — never sealant or lead substitute for permanent repairs. Replacement nails are stainless steel or aluminium alloy — the corrosion-resistant fixings that should have been used originally on Whitchurch's mixed-era housing.
Four steps from first call to completed work. No call-out fee, no obligation, and a written quote before anything starts.

"Three cracked slates on our Victorian terrace on London Street. They sourced matching Welsh slate from a reclamation yard and you genuinely cannot tell which are the replacements. Conservation officer had no issues."
"Chimney flashing leak on our Georgian cottage. The old lead had fatigued from decades of weather. New code 4 lead properly dressed into the brickwork — watertight from day one."
"Quick repair after storm — two ridge tiles blown off the back slope. They were here within three hours and had matching tiles on the van. Emergency done properly, not just patched."
