Village west of Basingstoke with a distinct identity despite proximity. Victorian cottages around the church, 1960s–70s infill along Andover Road, and modern estates at Oakley Park. Concrete interlocking tiles on most post-war stock, clay plain tiles on period homes.
Nail sickness on 1970s concrete tile properties along Andover Road. Valley and flashing failures on properties backing onto woodland — heavy leaf fall and moss growth. Chimney problems on Victorian cottages around St Leonard's church.
Oakley sits 3 miles west of Basingstoke in a gentle valley with mature woodland on its northern and western boundaries. The tree cover creates a sheltered microclimate but also produces heavy leaf fall that blocks gutters, valleys and flat roof drainage every autumn. North-facing slopes in Oakley stay damp longer than equivalent positions in open Basingstoke. For roof replacement work, this creates specific challenges that differ from sheltered Basingstoke sites.
Oakley's housing is predominantly mixed — Victorian cottages around the church, 1960s–70s infill, modern estates stock, with a clear split between the period properties around St Leonard's church and the later builds along Andover Road and Oakley Park. The village retains a separate identity from Basingstoke despite being only 3 miles from the western edge. Properties backing onto woodland on the northern fringe face the heaviest tree debris load of any location we cover. Annual gutter clearing and valley maintenance is not optional — it is the difference between a dry house and a damp one.
The 1970s properties along Andover Road and surrounding streets are now reaching the tipping point where annual repairs cost more than the equivalent monthly cost of a new roof. We see multiple Oakley re-roofs per year and have competitive pricing for the standard 3-bed semi configuration that dominates this area. Every re-roof includes full timber inspection — the woodland proximity means moisture conditions in Oakley lofts are often worse than equivalent Basingstoke properties.
The Victorian cottages around St Leonard's church require clay plain tile re-roofing rather than concrete interlocking. We source both new handmade and reclaimed clay tiles appropriate to the period and character of each cottage. Where properties are in a conservation area or listed, we ensure all specifications meet planning requirements.

Call 0125 624 2410Day one: scaffold erected (we use a local scaffold contractor who knows Oakley's access constraints). Day two onwards: old tiles stripped course by course, battens removed, underlay cleared. With the roof structure exposed, we inspect every truss, purlin, rafter and wall plate for moisture damage, insect activity and structural movement. Any timber issues are repaired before new work begins — this is the one opportunity to see and fix what is underneath.
New breathable roofing membrane is laid, new pre-treated softwood battens fixed at the correct gauge for the specified tile, and new tiles hung with stainless steel nails. Dry ridge and dry verge systems are fitted mechanically. All lead flashings are renewed. Guttering is refitted or replaced. The site is cleaned, scaffold struck, and we walk you through the completed work.
Our quotes are itemised and detailed: scaffold, strip, disposal, membrane, battens, tiles (specified by name and manufacturer), dry ridge, dry verge, lead flashings, gutter refit, timber repair allowance, and our written 10-year guarantee. If a quote does not itemise these elements, you cannot compare it fairly with ours. We welcome comparison — our specification stands up to scrutiny.
Four steps from first call to completed work. No call-out fee, no obligation, and a written quote before anything starts.
We inspect your Oakley roof externally and from the loft — assessing tiles, battens, underlay, timbers and ventilation. This determines the full scope of work needed.
You receive an itemised quote: scaffold, strip, membrane, battens, tiles specified by manufacturer, dry ridge, lead flashings, timber repairs, disposal, and guarantee. Everything included.
