Roofers in Wickham

Roofs in Wickham

Wickham is built round one of the biggest village squares in the county, and the Square and Bridge Street are Georgian brick and older timber cottages under clay tile, with the mill down by the river. Those roofs are steep, old and full of character, which is another way of saying the tiles are fragile, the timbers are not straight and the lead has been patched. They are repaired, not replaced, unless there is no choice.

Off the Square the village carries on with twentieth-century houses along School Road, Winchester Road and Southwick Road, semi-detached and detached under concrete tiles, and the villages either side, Shedfield and Knowle, are much the same. Those roofs are straightforward, and the common job is a re-roof when the tiles and felt have done their time.

Wickham work

Tile and slate repairs on the old houses round the Square: broken and slipped tiles replaced to match, ridges re-bedded, valleys and lead re-done. Chimneys re-pointed or rebuilt. Re-roofs on the newer houses, with breathable membrane, new battens and tiles, and the fascia, soffit and gutters done while the scaffold is there. Fibreglass flat roofs on garages and rear extensions, with roof lanterns where the room below wants the light.
