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.
Teg Down is a 1970s–80s residential area on the western edge of Winchester, above the Weeke and Harestock estates. The housing stock is predominantly concrete interlocking tile detached and semi-detached properties from the Teg Down Meadows development era, now 40–55 years old. The elevated chalk plateau position above the valley floor gives Teg Down properties significant south-westerly wind exposure, which accelerates ridge mortar deterioration relative to valley-floor Winchester estates.
Roofing in Teg Down
Nail sickness and ridge mortar failure dominate the Teg Down repair profile. The chalk plateau position means Teg Down ridges deteriorate faster than identical housing on lower-ground Winchester estates — we rebed more ridges per property here than the citywide average. Flat-roofed rear extensions are widespread on the 1970s stock and most have been replaced from felt to GRP within the past decade. We offer free nail sickness surveys with written reports across Teg Down.

Wind-Exposed Roofing on Teg Down
Teg Down sits on the chalk plateau above the Weeke and Harestock estates — one of the most wind-exposed residential locations in the Winchester area. South-westerly gales from the Itchen Valley and north-westerlies across the chalk plateau affect roofs on Teg Down plots significantly more than valley-floor Winchester properties. Ridge mortar deterioration, bracket failure on guttering and loose tile frequency after storms are all higher per property here than the Winchester average. We account for this exposure in every Teg Down survey and specification.
Teg Down Flat Roof Extensions
The 1970s-80s Teg Down Meadows development included a high proportion of flat-roofed rear extensions — now 40-55 years old and systematically being upgraded from failed felt to GRP. The wind-exposed chalk plateau position means GRP performs significantly better here than felt: the seamless membrane is not vulnerable to the joint failures that wind-driven rain and thermal cycling inflict on felt systems. We install GRP flat roofing on Teg Down extensions every week, typically in a single day for a standard kitchen or dining extension.

Local Expertise
What We Know About Roofing in Teg Down
The most common roofing call from Teg Down is wind exposure ridge failures and flat roof extension upgrades. Active streets include Teg Down Meads, Sarum Road, Romsey Road, Teg Down. Most wind-exposed winchester estate — ridge failure frequency highest here.
When to Call vs When to Monitor
Call immediately: missing or displaced tiles, water entering the property, fallen chimney pot, visible lead failure at a chimney or valley, flat roof membrane split.
Book a survey within 3 months: ridge mortar visibly cracking, gutters overflowing despite recent cleaning, damp patches on ceiling near a chimney breast, rust staining on tile laps indicating nail sickness.
Note and monitor: minor moss growth on a sound roof, a single cracked tile on an otherwise sound surface, minor pointing loss on a chimney with sound lead.
DIY vs Professional in Teg Down
Ground-level inspection using binoculars is safe and useful twice per year. Loft inspection with a torch is safe and reveals felt condition. Getting on the roof surface without scaffolding or a properly secured roof ladder is not safe — a domestic roof without access equipment is a serious fall risk. We carry out free surveys across Teg Down — there is no reason to attempt roof access yourself. Call 01962 809171.

Good to know
What It Is Like While We Work
A day of ladder work and a small amount of tile debris — we sheet the area below the work and clear everything before we leave. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Repairs run year-round; if rain stops work mid-job we fit temporary weatherproofing the same day so nothing is left open. Among the most exposed estates in the city — high, open, and prone to wind uplift on ridges and verges.
