Honest advice
Is Emergency Roofing the Right Fix?
A roofing emergency is water actively getting in, a tile or stack that has come loose in wind, or storm damage that will worsen overnight. Here is what counts as urgent — and what can safely wait for a normal appointment. Teg Down’s housing and setting mean some faults show up here more than elsewhere.
Water actively dripping through a ceiling right now
A tile, ridge or chimney visibly displaced after a storm
A ceiling bulging with trapped water
Debris blocking a gutter and flooding down a wall
Storm-lifted felt or flashing exposing the roof deck
Be honest with yourself: A long-standing damp patch that is not spreading, or a single slipped tile in dry weather, is not an emergency — book a normal free survey and save the call-out. Read the full guide.

Access
Getting Safely onto Teg Down Roofs
Emergency access is whatever gets the roof safe fastest — usually a ladder or tower; scaffold follows for the permanent repair if needed. Scaffold is specified for: the permanent repair where the fault needs safe standing time — never a barrier to the initial make-safe - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Teg Down is a post-war and modern estate high on the north-western chalk ridge, with good driveway access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Winchester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Teg Down Meads, Dean Lane where space is tight.
Tile matching — reclaimed clay costs more than stock concrete
Access on terraced streets needing pavement permits
Extent of hidden damage found once opened up
Worked example: A rear valley rebuild on a 1930s clay-tile semi in Weeke, including a tower and waste removal: around £680.
No deposit on repairs under £500. Nothing paid before materials are on site. VAT included in every quoted price.
Covering SO22, SO23, SO21 and surrounding postcodes.
