Local roofers covering Oakridge, Basingstoke. We know the 1960s overspill, partially regenerated housing stock here inside out — the common problems, the right materials, and the most durable solutions.
Oakridge was built in the mid-1960s as part of the first wave of overspill housing. The estate underwent partial regeneration in the 2000s, creating a visible split between the refurbished blocks and the untouched original housing. Regenerated properties have modern tile roofs and cladding. Unregenerated properties retain their original concrete interlocking tiles, many with the same nail sickness and mortar failure seen across all of Basingstoke's 1960s estates.
On unregenerated properties, the issues mirror Popley and Winklebury — nail sickness, ridge mortar failure, perished underlay. The split nature of Oakridge means a newly re-roofed property can sit next to one with an original 1960s roof in advanced deterioration. Flat roof garage and porch structures are common and most have original or first-replacement felt that needs upgrading. Gutter systems vary — regenerated properties have modern uPVC, unregenerated ones often have failing original or cheap replacement systems.
We work on properties across Oakridge including Oakridge Road, Shakespeare Road, Austen Road, Norn Hill, Thorncroft and all surrounding roads. If you live in Oakridge and need a roofer, we already know your roof.
We cover every roofing need in Oakridge: 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 Oakridge 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 Oakridge 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.

"Our place on Shakespeare Road missed the regeneration. Roof was in a terrible state — tiles slipping, ridge crumbling, underlay shot. Full re-roof and it now matches the regenerated houses next door."
"Garage flat roof — original felt from the 1960s. They stripped it back to the timber, replaced two rotten joists, and laid GRP. Should last another 30 years."
"Gutter replacement on our unregenerated terrace. The old system was cast iron going into plastic connectors — bodged and leaking everywhere. Proper uPVC throughout now."
Not all Oakridge properties were included. If your home has its original 1960s concrete tile roof, it was likely excluded. We can inspect and advise on its current condition and whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Signs include: tiles sitting unevenly (nail sickness), visible gaps in ridge line (mortar failure), damp patches in the loft, and tiles found in the garden after wind. If your property was not regenerated, a free inspection is the best starting point.
We can match the tile type, colour and dry ridge system used on regenerated Oakridge properties so your home is visually consistent with its neighbours. This also helps maintain property values.
A 3-bed Oakridge terrace typically costs £4,500–£7,000 for a full re-roof. Semis and detached are £6,000–£10,000. We provide detailed written quotes with no hidden costs.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Oakridge, Basingstoke roofer who'll turn up when they say they will.
