Honest advice
Is Flat Roofing the Right Fix?
Flat roofs fail predictably once the covering ages. On Winchester’s many post-war extensions the question is usually whether the deck beneath is still sound — that decides repair versus replacement. Teg Down’s housing and setting mean some faults show up here more than elsewhere.
A damp patch appearing on the ceiling below after heavy rain
Blistering, cracking or splits visible on the membrane
Ponding water that sits for days after rain
A soft or springy patch underfoot indicating deck rot
Felt over 15–20 years old showing surface breakdown
Be honest with yourself: If the failure is a single isolated split and the deck is sound, a patch repair is the honest fix — a full replacement would be oversell. Read the full guide.
Teg Down's 1970s–80s chalk plateau housing stock creates specific flat roofing grp requirements. The dominant maintenance issue here is highest wind — ridge failure rate. Properties on Teg Down Meads, Sarum Road represent the typical Teg Down housing profile that generates flat roofing grp calls to our Winchester team.

Teg Down Property Profile
What Teg Down Properties Need for Flat Roofing GRP
Teg Down was built primarily 1970s–80s chalk plateau. The dominant roofing material is concrete interlocking. The lead work on most Teg Down properties is 45–55 years old. Properties on Teg Down Meads, Sarum Road are representative of the typical Teg Down housing stock.
The most wind-exposed Winchester estate conditions in Teg Down affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the highest wind exposure — ridge failure rate above Winchester average creates maintenance requirements that differ from Winchester estates in more sheltered or drier positions. We account for this in both the specification and the survey schedule we recommend for Teg Down properties.
✓Lead flashings assessed — 45–55 years old lead is the primary maintenance item for most Teg Down properties
✓Ridge and hip mortar condition — checked against the flexible mortar specification
✓Gutter condition and fall — cleared and tested on maintenance visits
✓Loft inspection where accessible — felt and structural condition
✓Written condition report — yours regardless of whether you proceed
The process
From First Call to Sign-Off in Teg Down
1. Free survey
Every survey looks at all elevations and the loft interior, so the diagnosis is based on the whole roof, not a guess from the ground. Local knowledge of Teg Down — its streets and its housing stock — informs every survey.
2. Written quote
To finish, fixed price covering membrane, any deck-board replacement and warranty, issued within 48 hours.
3. Scheduling
We fix a start date to suit you; urgent leaks are attended round the clock.
4. The work
When we carry out the work, strip the old covering, replace any rotten deck, correct the fall, apply GRP or EPDM to a clean dry deck.
5. Cleanup & sign-off
To finish, debris removed, outlet cleared, and both the manufacturer warranty and workmanship guarantee handed over.
Timescales
How Long Does It Take?
Job
Typical duration
Flat-roof patch repair
2–4 hours
Garage roof (GRP)
1 day
Extension roof 16–20m² (GRP)
1–2 days
Larger/complex EPDM roof
2–3 days
GRP needs a dry deck and dry weather to cure; we will not lay fibreglass onto a damp deck and reschedule rather than compromise the bond. In Teg Down we confirm the likely duration on the survey, once we have seen the access and the roof.
Access
Getting Safely onto Teg Down Roofs
Most flat roofs are single-storey and reached from a tower or ladder; scaffold is rare unless the roof is at height. Scaffold is specified for: first-floor and higher flat roofs, or where edge protection is required for a larger area - 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.
Worked example: A GRP re-cover of a 18m² rear extension in Badger Farm with one replacement deck board: around £2,300.
No deposit on repairs under £500. Materials-on-site staging for full replacements. VAT included.
Covering SO22, SO23, SO21 and surrounding postcodes.
Guarantee
The Guarantee in Plain Terms
GRP carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty and EPDM up to 20; our workmanship guarantee sits on top of both for 10 years.
Covered: workmanship for 10 years, in writing, transferable if you sell.
On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
Not covered: storm or impact damage - that is an insurance matter, and we will document it for your claim.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
Good to know
Living Around the Work
A day or two of work over one room, minimal internal disruption — most of the mess is on the roof and cleared as we go. You do not need to stay home for external work — just power and access agreed in advance.
GRP is weather-sensitive during cure; EPDM is more forgiving. We time the lay to a dry window and weatherproof temporarily if needed. Among the most exposed estates in the city — high, open, and prone to wind uplift on ridges and verges.
