Roofing Romsey

Romsey’s roofs come with rules. A large part of the town centre falls within the conservation area, a number of buildings are listed, and the traditional coverings here – handmade clay tile, natural slate, lime-bedded masonry – behave nothing like modern materials and cannot simply be replaced with them.

Getting that wrong does lasting harm. Hard cement pointing on soft historic brick forces moisture out through the face of the brick and destroys it. A modern impermeable detail against an old lime-mortared wall puts damp inside a building that never had it. Both are common, and both were done by people who thought they were improving things.

Period-appropriate repairs, re-roofing, flat roofs, chimneys and cast iron guttering. Call 023 8155 0011 and we will tell you at the quoting stage whether consent is likely to be needed.

We are as willing to tell you that a roof needs very little as that it needs a great deal. On period property the instinct to replace is frequently wrong, and an original clay or slate covering that is losing a few tiles is usually worth keeping rather than losing.

We will establish at the quoting stage whether your property carries any restriction, and set out what that means for materials, timescale and cost before you commit to anything.

On these buildings repair is very often genuinely viable where replacement would be assumed, and it is the cheaper option as well as the correct one. We will tell you when that applies.
