📞 Call Now: 0125 624 2410Kempshott sits on rising ground southwest of the town centre, with wide views across to the M3. Built mainly through the 1980s and 1990s, the housing is predominantly detached and semi-detached family homes — a step up in size from the earlier overspill estates. Roofs are concrete interlocking and modern clay tiles. The elevated, open position means Kempshott shares Brighton Hill's exposure to westerly storms but is slightly more sheltered by the intervening ridge. Pack Lane and Homesteads Road properties are the most exposed.
Wind damage to ridges and hip tiles during storms is the most frequent call, particularly on properties along Pack Lane facing southwest. Lead flashing fatigue on chimneys is common — the exposed position creates greater thermal cycling. Gutter blockage from the mature hedgerows and garden trees typical of Kempshott's larger plots is an ongoing maintenance issue. Some of the earliest 1980s builds are now approaching 40 years and showing mortar softening on ridges.
We work on properties across Kempshott including Pack Lane, Homesteads Road, Heather Way, Down Grange, Beggarwood Lane and all surrounding roads. If you live in Kempshott and need a roofer, we already know your roof.
We cover every roofing need in Kempshott: repairs to individual tiles and flashings, full roof replacement, flat roofing on extensions and garages, guttering and roofline replacement, chimney repointing and lead work, and 24-hour emergency response. We also handle the specialist work that many general roofers subcontract — moss treatment, dry ridge conversion, slate matching and heritage lead.
Every job starts the same way: a free inspection, an honest assessment of what needs doing and what does not, and a written quote you can compare against others on a like-for-like basis. We do not charge for quotes, we do not charge call-out fees, and we do not push work that is not needed.
A roofer who works across three counties treats every roof the same way. A roofer who works in Kempshott week in and week out knows which tile profiles are on which streets, which failure modes appear at which property ages, and which materials perform in this specific exposure. That knowledge means faster diagnosis, correct materials first time, and repairs specified for the conditions they will actually face.
It also means we carry the right stock. Turning up with matching tiles on the first visit rather than ordering them and returning a week later is the practical difference between local knowledge and a general service.
Call 0125 624 2410 and we will arrange an inspection at a time that suits you, usually within a few days for non-urgent work and same-day for emergencies. After the inspection you receive a written quote within 48 hours setting out the work, materials by name, timeline and total cost. If you go ahead we book a start date and confirm it in writing. All work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee.
All work in Kempshott carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. That guarantee is transferable if you sell the property, which is a genuine asset when marketing a house — buyers and their surveyors take a documented, guaranteed roof considerably more seriously than an undocumented one.
The guarantee covers our workmanship. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties, typically 15–30 years for tiles and 20–25 years for flat roof membranes. We register these on your behalf where registration is required and pass the documentation to you on completion.
Call us. We return, inspect, and put it right at no cost if it falls within the guarantee. We do not argue about whether a fault is workmanship or materials — we resolve it first and sort out the attribution with the supplier afterwards. That is what a guarantee should mean and it is why we put ours in writing.
Repairs from £150. Full re-roofs from £4,500. Free, no-obligation quotes. Call 0125 624 2410.

Not every roof symptom needs a contractor, and knowing which do saves both money and worry. These are the signs that genuinely warrant a call in Kempshott.
When it is not the answer: a single stained ceiling patch that never grows and never darkens after rain is usually old damage from a fault already fixed, or condensation rather than ingress. We will tell you that on the phone rather than booking an unnecessary visit. Read the repair-or-replace guide.
We inspect from ladder access and, where it matters, from inside the loft. Everything is photographed and shown to you on the day rather than described afterwards.
Within 48 hours, naming materials by manufacturer and showing access and disposal as their own lines. The quoted figure is what you pay unless you approve a change.
Date confirmed in writing and held. Where scaffold or a skip permit is needed in Kempshott, we arrange it and build the lead time in.
Standard hours, daily cleanup, and a stop-and-agree rule if anything unexpected appears once we open the roof up.

| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tiles | 1–2 hours |
| Ridge re-bedding or dry ridge | Half a day to 1 day |
| Chimney repointing and flashing | 1–2 days plus scaffold |
| Gutter or roofline replacement | 1–3 days |
| Full re-roof | 4–8 days plus scaffold |
Elevated southwest-facing ground catches the prevailing weather, so wind-stop days are more frequent than the Basingstoke average. We build that into scheduling rather than promising dates we cannot hold.
Generous Kempshott plots mean scaffold, skip and materials all sit on your own ground. Pack Lane frontages are the exception where the road narrows.
We arrange scaffold and it is always itemised in your quote, never a hidden extra. Where staging or a skip needs to stand on the pavement or highway, a licence from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council is required — allow a few working days, particularly on tighter streets like Pack Lane, Homesteads Road, Down Grange.
Scaffold is specified for chimney work, full valley rebuilds, re-roofing and anything needing sustained standing time at height. Most single repairs run from a roof ladder or tower without it.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tiles | £150–£280 | Matched to your existing profile |
| Ridge re-bedding | £280–£550 | Dry ridge quoted alongside |
| Chimney repointing | £250–£800 | Higher end where lime mortar is required |
| Gutter replacement | £450–£1,600 | Sized to actual roof area |
| Flat roof — garage | £1,200–£2,400 | EPDM or GRP with 20–25 year guarantee |
| Full re-roof | £4,800–£18,000 | By property type and complexity |
Worked example: a slipped-tile repair with a cracked ridge section on a typical Kempshott property runs to around £340 including access, completed in a morning.
No deposit on repairs under £500 — you pay on completion. Staged payments on re-roofs, with nothing due before materials are on site. All prices include VAT.
Covering RG22 and surrounding postcodes.
Every job in Kempshott carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee, transferable if you sell — which matters when a buyer's surveyor asks about the roof.
If a fault appears in covered work we come back and put it right at no cost.
External roofing work leaves the inside of your home undisturbed. You do not need to be there for most jobs — we just need access agreed in advance. What you will notice is noise during working hours and, on larger jobs, scaffold changing the light through affected windows.
Elevated southwest-facing ground catches the prevailing weather, so wind-stop days are more frequent than the Basingstoke average. We protect planting and driveways, clear the site daily rather than at the end, and run a magnet sweep for nails before we leave.
"Lost hip tiles in the October storms — Pack Lane takes a real hammering from the southwest. They replaced the hips with dry hip fixings. Not going anywhere now."
"Chimney lead had cracked on the southwest face. Full strip and re-dress with new code 4 lead. They took photos of the work as they went so I could see what they had done. Professional."
"Gutter clean and fascia check. Our detached has a big roof and lots of hedgerow nearby. They cleared three downpipe blockages I didn't even know about. Money well spent."
Yes. Kempshott sits on elevated ground facing the prevailing westerly weather. Properties along Pack Lane and Homesteads Road are particularly exposed. We recommend dry ridge and dry hip systems on all Kempshott re-roofs to resist wind uplift.
Minor repairs from £150. Ridge and hip replacements £200–£600. Full re-roofs on Kempshott's larger detached properties £8,000–£14,000. Free quotes — no obligation.
Yes. Kempshott's detached homes have larger roof areas and more gutter run than estate terraces. Our gutter cleaning includes all runs, downpipes, outlets, and a condition check. Typically £120–£200 for a detached property.
The earliest phases are approaching 40 years. Ridge mortar is softening, and some concrete tiles show surface erosion. Proactive maintenance — re-bedding ridges, treating moss, clearing gutters — extends the roof's remaining life significantly.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Kempshott, Basingstoke roofer who'll turn up when they say they will.
