Self-contained 1970s community on western edge with exposed higher ground. The 1970s semis and detached around crescents along Kenilworth Road, Carisbrooke Close, Coniston Road present specific roof replacement challenges: tile surface erosion exposing porous aggregate. 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 Winklebury 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 Winklebury properties, the 1970s tiles are eroding to a porous surface that holds moisture against the fixings beneath.
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 Winklebury 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.

Call 0125 624 2410The largest single cost in re-roofing after labour is scaffold. Where neighbouring properties need work at the same time, sharing scaffold reduces the per-property cost substantially. Terraced and semi-detached houses in particular benefit — if your neighbour is considering the same work, coordinating quotes is worth the conversation.
The second cost lever is timing. Winter scheduling is often cheaper because demand is lower, and modern materials install perfectly well in cold conditions. Only mortar and sealant work needs a genuinely dry window, and dry ridge systems eliminate most of that requirement entirely.
Four steps from first call to completed work. No call-out fee, no obligation, and a written quote before anything starts.
