Use the filters to find firms that declare the work you need. Almost every business here lists roof repairs and flat roofing, and most also do guttering. Fewer offer roof cleaning, so if that's your job, filter for it first. Each listing shows where its public ratings come from and when we last checked them.
We're a directory, not an inspector. We don't vouch for or rank anyone on quality, and any paid placement is clearly marked. In a city with this much historic fabric, it's worth asking each roofer about their experience with the materials on your roof before you agree a quote. You can also send one request through the form at the bottom of the page, and we may share it with up to three roofers who cover your postcode.
Clay tile country. Winchester City Council's townscape assessment describes the roofs of the historic city as predominantly old red plain clay tile, with some natural slate on later buildings. Much of the centre, from the Cathedral Close and College area to Hyde, St Cross and the streets around the High Street, sits within the Winchester Conservation Area, which the council says extends north as far as Hyde and south as far as St Cross, and many buildings are listed. Repairs should match the existing tile.
Thatch in the villages. Several villages around the city, such as Sparsholt, have thatched roofs. The council's appraisals note that the traditional local thatch is long straw, and that switching to a different thatch or to concrete tiles harms the character. Thatch needs a specialist thatcher.
Suburbs and newer estates. The council's townscape assessment describes Stanmore as a large estate from the immediate post-war period, with clay tile roofs. Harestock, Weeke and Oliver's Battery are mostly post-war housing, and the assessment records both clay tile and concrete interlocking tiles in Harestock and Oliver's Battery. Badger Farm is made up of 1980s and 1990s estates.
Inland weather. Winchester is inland, so salt isn't a problem. Frost, though, can crack old porous clay tiles, and moss builds up on roofs under the city's many mature trees.
National park. Parts of Winchester district fall within the South Downs National Park, where the National Park Authority handles planning.
FAQs
Like-for-like repairs, using matching materials and the same methods, generally don't need listed building consent. Changing materials, adding rooflights or removing chimneys does. Winchester City Council's conservation team can advise, and so can the South Downs National Park Authority if you're inside the park. Doing the work without consent can be an offence.
Not necessarily. Frost damage often affects individual tiles or one slope. A roofer can replace damaged tiles with matching or reclaimed ones and check the battens and felt underneath. Ask for photos and a written explanation before you agree to a full re-roof.
Many list "Winchester and nearby" or wider Hampshire coverage. Firms based in Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Romsey or Botley may cover different villages, so check each listing's area or give your postcode when you request quotes.
On many modern homes uPVC is common and fine. On listed buildings or in the conservation area, replacing cast iron or traditional gutters with plastic may need consent and can harm the building's character. Ask the roofer about matching repairs first.
The main factors are access and scaffolding (tight streets in the centre can make this harder), the material (handmade clay, natural slate, concrete tile or thatch), whether reclaimed tiles have to be sourced, any consent requirements, and how much hidden damage there is to the battens or timbers.
