Eastleigh's dominant housing stock — the concrete interlocking tile estates of the 1960s and 70s across Boyatt Wood, Nightingale Avenue and Fleming Park — is now old enough to be generating repair calls at scale. Nail sickness is the most common structural issue: iron fixing nails corrode over 40-50 years, leaving tiles loose on the battens and vulnerable to wind lift. We diagnose and repair nail-sickness affected roofs across Eastleigh daily.
Tile Repairs in Eastleigh
Concrete interlocking tile replacement in Eastleigh requires matching the original profile — Marley Ludlow and Redland 49 are the most common profiles on the postwar estates. We keep stock of the most common Eastleigh tile profiles and can usually carry out a matching repair without a special order. For properties with older plain clay tiles or natural slate — found on the Victorian stock around the town centre — we source matching materials from specialist Hampshire suppliers.
Lead Work and Flashings in Eastleigh
Lead flashing failure at chimney stacks and valley junctions is the second most common repair call from Eastleigh after tile work. We re-dress and replace lead work in correct specification lead — 4 code for chimney flashings, 5 code for valleys — using properly lapped and clipped details that will last 50+ years. We do not use silicone sealant or lead repair tape as a permanent fix.
