Roofers in Petersfield

Roofs in Petersfield, by street

Petersfield has grown in rings. The Square and the streets off it are Georgian and older, in clay tile with the odd stone slate. Round the station and out towards the Heath are the Victorian terraces and villas, and those are mostly Welsh slate on close-boarded timber, with the slate now a hundred and thirty years old and the nails that hold it long past their best. Then the inter-war semis, then the big estates of the seventies and eighties like Herne Farm, under concrete tiles, and now the new-build edges of the town.

The Downs sit right over the town and the weather comes off them. Petersfield roofs get more rain than the ones ten miles north, north-facing slopes stay damp and grow moss, and moss holds water against the tiles and into the felt. It is a town where a lot of roofs are worth a proper look before the next winter.

The jobs Petersfield brings

Slate work on the Victorian terraces: slipped slates re-fixed, nail-sick roofs re-slated, valleys and lead re-done. Re-roofs on the seventies and eighties estates where the concrete tiles and the felt beneath them have reached the end together. Chimneys, which on a Petersfield terrace are tall, shared and often the first thing to fail. New roofs on rear extensions, tiled to match the house, and fibreglass flat roofs with lanterns where the extension is single storey. Fascias, soffits and guttering while the scaffold is up.

Fifteen years on the tools is Callum's, and he is the one who looks at your roof and prices it. The company has been trading for three years, local and family run.
