Tell us about your roof. We usually reply the same day.
Whitchurch is a town of traditional roofs. Older cottages, terraced homes and detached properties built with clay tiles, natural slate and concrete tiles sit alongside newer builds and rear extensions with flat roofs. Each age and style needs a slightly different approach, and our open-countryside surroundings mean roofs here take a real battering from wind-driven rain. We cover the whole of Whitchurch and the surrounding RG28 villages, and we see the same local problems again and again.
On the older properties it is usually slipped or cracked tiles, nail fatigue, tired chimney leadwork and crumbling ridge mortar. Many homes have flat roofs on extensions, garages and dormers that have finally started to let water in. Whatever your roof, we inspect it properly, show you photos of what we find and give you a straight, fixed written quote. If a simple repair will solve it, we say so. If a replacement is genuinely the better long-term option, we explain why, with no pressure either way.
Roofs in Whitchurch are often affected by ageing materials, gradual water ingress and prolonged exposure to wind and rain, and many problems develop slowly until internal signs appear. We handle wind-lifted or slipped tiles, failed lead flashing and valleys, blocked gutters causing overflow, and ridge tile movement where the mortar has broken down. Every repair starts with a free inspection and leak tracing back to the real source, not just the visible damage, so the fix actually solves the problem. We replace broken tiles and slates with suitable matching materials, rebed and repoint loose ridge tiles, renew flashings and valleys, and provide photos before and after so you know exactly what has been done.
From period cottages to modern builds, we design and install new roofs that suit your property and budget, working with slate, tile and high-performance systems. Pitched roofs in Whitchurch are commonly found on older cottages, terraced homes and detached properties with traditional roof structures in clay tile, slate or concrete tile. We replace and repair pitched roofs including ridges and hips, and handle underlay upgrades, battens, ventilation and lead flashing for a neat finish that improves kerb appeal and keeps water out. Where age has compromised stability, a full replacement renews underlay, battens and fixings before installing suitable materials. We also fit traditional ridge repairs and modern dry ridge systems for improved mechanical fixing and lower maintenance, and we take care to match existing clay, slate or concrete tiles so your roof keeps its character.
Flat roofs are common across Whitchurch homes, particularly on extensions, garages and dormers. The difference between a flat roof that lasts and one that constantly leaks comes down to preparation, drainage and the correct system choice. We survey, install, replace and repair felt, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber roofs, and install long-life membranes built with the right falls and secure edges. We trace the real cause of a leak, not just the visible damage, and carry out targeted repairs for split membranes, lifting edges, blocked outlets and damaged flashings. EPDM rubber suits larger areas, GRP fibreglass gives a seamless rigid finish ideal for garages and balconies, torch-on felt remains cost-effective when installed correctly, and liquid systems handle complex shapes and awkward layouts. If a simple patch will solve it we will tell you, and if a full overlay or replacement is better value we explain why.
Refresh tired rooflines with low-maintenance uPVC. We replace fascias, soffits, bargeboards and gutters, setting correct falls and adding eaves protection and ventilation to prevent future issues. Blocked, leaking or poorly aligned gutters cause damp and staining, so we clean, re-seal, re-hang and replace sections, test the flow and leave everything draining as it should.
We carry out repointing, capping, lead flashing and back gutter renewals for stacks and parapets. We stabilise loose masonry, sort flaunching and stop persistent chimney leaks at the source. Leaks around chimneys and roof junctions are common on older Whitchurch properties where flashing has degraded over decades, and we resolve them by repairing the leadwork, mortar joints and surrounding roof coverings.
Storm damage or sudden leaks need fast action. We offer a 24/7 emergency roof repair service across Whitchurch and the RG28 villages. We make safe, install temporary weatherproofing where required to stop active ingress, and complete permanent repairs as soon as conditions allow. The open countryside around the town increases exposure to wind-driven rain, so we respond quickly to secure displaced materials and restore protection. If your roof is unsafe to access, we will tell you straight.
Spray foam can hide defects and affect surveys and lender checks. We remove it carefully, inspect the structure underneath and reinstate breathable insulation and proper ventilation so your roof performs as it should and passes mortgage and survey checks.
Controlled moss and lichen treatment protects your tiles and improves drainage. We remove moss by hand and avoid harsh pressure washing that can damage the roof, applying a preventative biocide where appropriate to keep growth from returning.
Many homes in Whitchurch and the surrounding villages need like-for-like materials such as natural slate or clay tile to keep their original look. We are used to working on period and village properties and match materials carefully, preserving traditional features while restoring long-term weather resistance. On tighter village streets we plan access and parking in advance so the job runs smoothly for you and your neighbours.
