Roofing contractor in Petersfield

A genuine emergency receives a telephone callback within 24 hours. The initial visit is a make-safe: the team refixes displaced tiles, covers open lead flashing and prevents further water entering the roof before the full repair is scheduled. Heavy autumn rain against a tile-hung elevation runs behind any hanging tile that has slipped, and the batten behind it stays wet after the covering has dried. The emergency roof repair page sets out the make-safe procedure.

Yes. Slipped tiles, cracked verge mortar, lifted lead flashing, gutter clears and single chimney pots are everyday work on Petersfield roofs. A director surveys and quotes each of them in writing, in the same way as a full re-roof. Where concrete or artificial slate has replaced Welsh slate, the battens and rafters are checked for the additional load. A single slipped slate is refixed with a copper tingle, so no further courses are stripped.

Yes. Storm damage, fire, accidental damage and impact from falling branches are handled as insurance work. The claim is supported by a written report and dated photographs of the damage, and a director corresponds with the loss adjuster directly where the insurer appoints one. Petersfield sees a wet year by southern standards, and water entering at a failed slate lap is a recurrent cause of claims on the older roofs.

A telephone call or the contact form is the next step, and a director books the survey. The director measures each elevation and records the pitch, the access arrangements and the condition of the lead and the verges. The quote is issued in writing, and the team begins the work on an agreed date. The same procedure applies across every part of Petersfield.
