Most roof problems announce themselves indoors before they are visible outside — a damp patch, a tide-mark on a ceiling, or a sudden draught in the loft. Here is how to tell a genuine repair from a job that has run past repairing.
A damp patch or brown tide-mark on an upstairs ceiling after rain
A slipped, cracked or missing tile visible from the ground
Granules from the tile surface collecting in the gutter
Daylight visible through the roof in the loft
Mortar debris from the ridge or verge on the ground after wind
When it is not the answer: If more than a third of the covering has failed or tiles lift by hand across whole elevations (nail sickness), repairing tile-by-tile is money wasted — the roof is telling you it needs relaying, not patching. Read the full guide.
New Alresford is a Georgian market town on the River Alre, a chalk stream feeding into the Itchen. The town centre is a Conservation Area, with elegant Georgian terraced houses on Broad Street and West Street that are among the most architecturally cohesive in Hampshire. These properties typically have Welsh slate or plain clay tile roofs and require lime mortar pointing throughout.
The Alre Valley chalk stream creates a humid microclimate around the town, particularly on properties near the watercress beds and the river itself. Moss growth on north-facing slopes is notably faster here than on the surrounding chalk downland. The town is also exposed to south-westerly winds across the open downland above Bighton, which causes consistent wear on exposed ridge and hip mortar.
Common Roofing Issues in New Alresford
Failed ridge mortar on Georgian and Victorian properties is the most common repair call in Alresford, driven by the combination of age and south-westerly exposure. Lead flashing failures at chimney abutments are routine on the period stock. The chalk stream valley humidity accelerates slate delamination on north-facing Georgian roofs that have been in service for 150+ years.

A fixed-price quote naming the exact fault, the materials, and whether a ladder, tower or scaffold is needed — within 48 hours.
3. Scheduling
Most repairs are booked within the same week; genuine emergencies are attended 24/7.
4. The work
Matched tiles or slates, stainless fixings, lead dressed to code where relevant — usually completed in a single visit.

Access
Getting Safely onto New Alresford Roofs
Most Winchester repairs run safely from a roof ladder or tower, which keeps costs down. Scaffold is specified for: chimney-side repairs, full valley rebuilds, three-storey terraces, and anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Alresford’s Georgian Broad Street is a conservation area where like-for-like materials and permit-controlled scaffold are the norm. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Winchester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Broad Street, West Street where space is tight.
