Building in Bordon
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.
Coastal areas along the Solent face salt and wind, while chalk downland is better drained but exposed; inland clay can move in dry summers.
Knowing the typical building types in Hampshire helps, but a survey of your own home in Bordon is what decides the right approach to roof repairs.
Permissions for roof repairs in Bordon
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Bordon comes under England, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
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.
How does the job run?
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.
Price and scope agreed
Next you receive a written quote with a fixed price for the agreed specification. It lists what is included, what is not, and how payments are staged, so you can compare it properly.
Getting ready
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
Finish and handover
During the work we protect the areas around it and tidy up at the end of each day. Once complete, we check the finish, remove our materials and hand over paperwork such as building control sign-off where it applies.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Alton, Farnham and Aldershot?
Yes. As well as Bordon, we cover Alton, Farnham and Aldershot and the rest of Hampshire. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.
Can you combine roof repairs with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan roof repairs alongside other work on your Bordon home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
What is dry-fix ridge and is it better than mortar?
Dry-fix ridge systems use screws, clips and weather seals instead of mortar to hold ridge and hip tiles in place. They avoid the cracking and loosening that mortar suffers over time, need less upkeep and are now common on new roofs. Mortar-bedded ridges suit some period or conservation-area roofs. We recommend the method that suits your roof and its location.
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.
Is it worth repairing an old roof?
Repairing an old roof is worthwhile when the problem is isolated and the rest of the roof is sound. If tiles are widely porous, battens are rotten or the felt has perished, repeated repairs may cost more over time than a new roof. We look at the overall condition, explain the likely lifespan and give you prices for both where it makes sense.
