Is your roof leaking, or is it time to replace it altogether? CAWS Carpentry & Building provides roofing services in Winchester, from minor repairs to complete new roof installations, along with ongoing maintenance.
Roofs shield your home from sun, rain and wind, and that exposure takes its toll. Weather damage can be minor and need a simple repair, or severe enough to need a new roof. Roofs also age, and holes can develop that let water in. Regular inspections and maintenance pick up worn areas early, so we can plan work before the damage spreads. Every job starts with a full consultation to establish exactly what your roof needs, and a free quote.

Extension roofing
Our team builds roofs for extensions that are durable, structurally sound, fully insulated and weathertight. Choosing the right roof for an extension matters, because it affects both the look and the amount of usable space you gain. We will give you honest advice on which type to go for.
Flat roofs
A flat roof is almost completely level, unlike a traditional sloping roof. Flat roofs can be made from a range of materials; modified bitumen, single-ply PVC and EPDM rubber are among the most common. We can repair your existing flat roof or build a new one from scratch.
Roof repairs
Roofs in Winchester need repairing for all sorts of reasons, from rot and wear over time to damage from high winds and storms. Left unchecked, even a small fault can let water in and lead to damp and wet rot inside the house, so dealing with it early usually costs far less. We repair everything from the structural framework to the tiling and finishing.
After a first conversation we book a time to survey the roof and give you a free, no-obligation quotation. We source matching tiles, slates or other materials so the repair blends in, keep you updated at each stage, and offer aftercare: if anything concerns you afterwards, tell us and we will deal with it.
New pitched roofs
We handle every part of pitched roofing in Winchester, from design and construction to maintenance. That includes roofs for new builds, from a single house to a whole estate, working with the other professionals on the project, and replacing old or badly damaged roofs that are no longer worth repairing. For a replacement we visit first to measure up and assess the work, the manpower and the time it will take.
The price we quote is the price you pay; any extra work is priced before we go ahead, and you are free to say no. We can manage the whole roof or work with a team you have already hired.

Chimney & lead work
Lead is used around the base of a chimney, where a wall meets the roof tiles, and in roof valleys. Lead itself lasts well, so when it fails the cause is usually a poor original installation. We talk the problem through with you first and agree what needs doing, then repair or replace the chimney and lead work, or help with a new project.
Winchester homeowners bring us in directly, and so do other builders: we are happy to work alongside designers or trades you have already hired on one part of a larger project.
Roofing across Winchester and nearby
Winchester's older buildings carry a wide mix of roofs: handmade clay tiles, natural slate and steep pitches on period houses, with lead valleys and chimneys that need regular attention. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, repairs should match the original materials, and replacing a roof covering can need consent. We source matching tiles or slate where we can and repair rather than replace when the roof allows it.
Also covering
- Alresford
- Alresford's Georgian roofs are often slate, with lead work around dormers and parapets that we repair to match.
- Twyford
- Older Twyford cottages may have clay tile roofs where reclaimed tiles are the best way to keep repairs invisible.
- Sparsholt
- Exposed rural roofs around Sparsholt can take a battering in winter storms, so ridge tiles and verges are common repairs there.
- Bishop’s Waltham
- Chimney stacks on Bishop's Waltham's older buildings often need repointing and new flashings to stop damp getting in.
- Swanmore
- Swanmore's newer houses mostly have concrete tile roofs, where re-bedding ridges and replacing slipped tiles are typical jobs.
- Wickham
- In Wickham's conservation area, we use roofing materials that match what is already on the building.
- Durley
- Barns and outbuildings in Durley sometimes need new pitched roofs as well as the house itself.
- Denmead
- Flat roofs on Denmead's garages and rear extensions are often due for replacement, which we can do alongside other roof repairs.
A typical roofing project in Kings Worthy, Winchester
- The home
- Kings Worthy, north of Winchester, has detached village houses where clay tile roofs and chimney stacks are common.
- What's usually wanted
- Owners usually ask us to deal with slipped tiles, leaking valleys or a chimney that needs repointing.
- How we'd approach it
- We inspect the whole roof, then repair or replace tiles with matching ones and renew lead in valleys and around the chimney. Before any larger work, we check whether the address falls under Winchester City Council or the South Downs National Park Authority and whether consent is needed.
- The result
- A watertight roof that still matches the rest of the house.
