Storm Damage Repairs in Andover

Storm Damage Repairs in Andover

Andover customers looking for storm damage repairs turn to Hampshire Roof Repairs. High wind puts genuine mechanical stress on a roof covering — it can lift tiles or slates whose fixings have already weakened over time, tear at ridge and hip mortar that's started to crack, and dislodge flashing that was only loosely seated to begin with. What makes storm damage tricky is that the visible fallout — tiles on the lawn, a gap you can see from the street — is often only part of the picture. Nearby tiles that shifted but didn't fully come free, flashing that lifted at the edge without tearing away completely, and hairline cracks in ridge mortar all tend to get missed from a ground-level look, and each one is a starting point for the next leak. A proper storm-damage repair means assessing the whole roof after the event, not just replacing what's obviously gone, and photographing the damage as it stands for insurance purposes before anything is touched. Like Basingstoke, Andover saw substantial new-town-era growth in the mid-to-late 20th century, so alongside the older roofing in its historic centre there's a large stock of post-war housing where felt-covered flat-roof extensions and garages are now old enough to need attention — ponding water and split membranes are common finds. The historic centre itself has its own, older repair needs around period tile, slate and flashing.
