Roof repairs fix specific faults in a pitched or flat roof, such as slipped or cracked tiles, loose ridges, failed flashing, leaking valleys or chimney defects, to stop water getting in without replacing the whole roof.
We take on roof repairs throughout Andover and the surrounding SP10 postcodes, as well as in Winchester, Newbury and Salisbury. The guide range for this work in the South East is £350–£1,700 including VAT; where your project falls depends on its size, the materials you pick and how easy the site is to reach. A free survey turns that range into a fixed figure.

Building in Andover
Southampton and Portsmouth have dense Victorian terraces, with plenty of post-war rebuilding after wartime bombing. Winchester keeps Georgian and medieval streets, Basingstoke expanded rapidly with 1960s and 1970s estates, and New Forest villages feature cob, thatch and brick. Brick and flint is common on the chalk downs, and new estates ring most towns.
Terraces suit loft rooms and side-return extensions; post-war and expanded-town homes often need window, roofline and cladding renewal. Cottages in the Forest may call for lime repairs and planning-sensitive windows.
If your house in Andover fits one of these patterns, it helps us anticipate what roof repairs will involve, though we always confirm the details on site.
Planning and building rules in Andover
Because Andover falls under England's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
Re-roofing a house with similar materials does not usually need planning permission in England. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent if the covering changes.
Replacing more than a quarter of a roof’s covering counts as renovation under Building Regulations, so the work is notified and the roof insulation may need upgrading. Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
From survey to handover
Free site survey
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for roof repairs, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Quote in writing
After the survey we send a quote for roof repairs that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
Dates and permissions
Preparation matters as much as the build. We agree access, parking and working hours with you, order materials in good time, and confirm any permissions so the job isn't held up once it starts.
On site to finish
Our trades complete roof repairs while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.

Common questions
How much does a roof repair cost?
A typical roof repair, such as replacing slipped tiles, rebedding a ridge or renewing flashing, costs £350–£1,700. Small repairs reachable by ladder sit at the lower end, while jobs needing scaffolding or several repairs cost more. Matching old tiles or slates and hidden damage to battens can also affect the price. We explain what we find and confirm a fixed price before starting.
Which postcodes in Andover do you cover?
We cover SP10, along with the rest of Hampshire. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
Why is my roof leaking?
Roof leaks usually come from slipped or cracked tiles, failed flashing around chimneys and walls, leaking valleys, blocked gutters overflowing, or perished felt beneath the tiles. Water can travel along timbers before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling may not be directly under the fault. Condensation in the loft can also look like a leak. We trace the source before recommending a repair.
Do I need planning permission in Andover?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Andover is in England, so England's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
Will my home insurance pay for the repair?
Home insurance policies often cover sudden storm damage but usually exclude wear and tear or gradual deterioration. If you think the damage is storm-related, contact your insurer before repairs, apart from urgent temporary work, and take photos. We can provide a written report and photographs describing the damage and cause to help with your claim. The insurer decides what is covered.
