Early overspill estate with non-traditional construction, partially regenerated in 1990s. The 1960s system-built terraces with integral flat sections along Crossborough Hill, Western Way, Doggett Road present specific roof replacement challenges: system-built flat roof sections perished beyond repair. Our approach is tailored to these exact conditions — not a generic specification applied to every Basingstoke property regardless of its neighbourhood.
Day one: scaffold goes up. We use a local scaffolding contractor who knows South Ham access constraints and works to our schedule. Day two: the strip begins. Tiles come off course by course, battens are removed, and the old underlay is cleared. This is the moment we see what has been hidden — and on South Ham properties, the non-traditional system-built construction integrates flat and pitched sections in ways conventional detailing does not cover.
With the structure exposed, every truss, rafter, purlin and wall plate is inspected for rot, insect damage and structural movement. Any timber problems are repaired before new materials go on. This is the only opportunity to address what is underneath, and we never cover over a problem to save time.
Breathable roofing membrane replaces the old bitumen felt — it allows moisture vapour out while keeping water out, dramatically reducing condensation in the roof space. New treated softwood battens are fixed at the correct gauge for the specified tile. Tiles are hung with stainless steel nails to BS 5534 fixing frequency. Dry ridge and dry verge systems replace mortar, eliminating the single most common failure point on South Ham roofs.
A standard semi takes 3–5 working days including scaffold. Larger detached properties take 5–8 days. You can live in the house throughout — there is noise during working hours and scaffold changes the view from your windows, but the interior is undisturbed. We protect gardens, driveways and planting, and clean the site every evening before leaving.
