Honest advice
Roof Replacement: Do You Really Need It?
A full re-roof is a major spend, so the honest first question is whether you actually need one. These are the signs a Winchester roof has genuinely reached end of life rather than needing another repair. In Weeke specifically, elevated northern suburb with moderate wind exposure and mature street trees.
Tiles lifting by hand across whole slopes (nail sickness)
Repeated leaks in different places on the same roof
Sagging or dipping in the roof line
Bitumen felt visible in the loft that is torn, brittle or absent
A roof over 50–60 years old on its original covering
Be honest with yourself: If the covering is sound and only the lead or ridge has failed, a targeted repair is the right call — do not let anyone sell you a full re-roof for a localised fault. Read the full guide.

Weeke Property Profile
What Weeke Properties Need for Roof Replacement
Weeke was built primarily Victorian and 1930s. The dominant roofing material is clay plain tile. The lead work on most Weeke properties is 80–100 years old. Properties on Bereweeke Road, Bereweeke Avenue are representative of the typical Weeke housing stock.
The inner suburb, moderate conditions in Weeke affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the century-age lead and carbonated ridge mortar 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 Weeke properties.

Local Knowledge
Roof Replacement in Weeke — What We Know
Weeke is one of the Winchester districts we cover most regularly for roof replacement work. The properties here have consistent characteristics — the housing era, the tile type and the maintenance patterns are predictable. We carry matching materials for Weeke's most common tile profiles and can usually attend within the same week for non-emergency work.
Our Practical Advice for Weeke Homeowners
Weeke 1930s properties: check lead flashings at the next survey. At 85–100 years old, most original Weeke lead is at or past end of life.
The most useful thing any Weeke homeowner can do is book a free survey and get a written condition report. Once you know the specific condition of each element — tiles, lead, mortar, guttering, felt — the maintenance decisions become straightforward rather than guesswork. Call 01962 809171 or email info@winchesterroofers.co.uk.
The process
The Weeke Roof Replacement Process, Step by Step
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. We know Weeke well — access around Fromond Road and the local stock shape how we plan the job.
2. Written itemised quote
We put a fixed price in writing, itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
3. Scheduling & scaffold
On completion, scaffold goes up 1–3 days before work starts; the whole job is booked to a firm start date.
4. The re-roof
Strip, treat timbers, lay membrane and battens, re-tile with stainless fixings, rebed ridge in flexible mortar, renew chimney lead.
5. Cleanup & guarantee handover
On completion, full site clearance, waste removed, and a written 10-year workmanship guarantee issued.
Timescales
How Long Does It Take?
Job
Typical duration
3-bed semi — concrete tile
5–8 days
4-bed detached
8–12 days
Clay plain-tile period property
8–14 days
Scaffold in place (total)
10–14 days
Sustained rain pauses tiling; the roof is never left open overnight and temporary cover goes on if weather turns. In Weeke we confirm the likely duration on the survey, once we have seen the access and the roof.
Access
Getting Safely onto Weeke Roofs
A full re-roof always needs scaffold for safe standing time and materials handling. Scaffold is specified for: the entire job — full perimeter scaffold is standard on any re-roof - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Weeke is dominated by 1930s clay-tile semis with front drives and straightforward access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Winchester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Fromond Road, Priors Dean Road where space is tight.

Guarantee
The Guarantee in Plain Terms
The complete re-roof carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee, transferable if you sell; tiles and membrane carry manufacturer warranties (often 30–50 years) on top.
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 re-roof means a week or more of scaffold, noise and skip activity. You do not need to move out — external work only — but expect dust and deliveries. You do not need to stay home for external work — just power and access agreed in advance.
Re-roofs run through most of the year; we phase the strip so no more is opened up than can be made watertight that day. Elevated northern suburb with moderate wind exposure and mature street trees.
