Pitched Roofing (Slate & Tile) in Overton

Pitched Roofing (Slate & Tile) in Overton

Overton customers looking for pitched roofing (slate & tile) turn to Hampshire Roofing. A pitched roof relies on overlap, not sealant, to keep water out — each course of slate or tile laps over the one below it by a margin set by the roof's pitch, the material's exposure rating and the local wind-driven-rain conditions, which is why a roof built for a sheltered inland garden is specified differently to one on an exposed coastal ridge. Natural slate is fixed individually, nail or hook-fixed depending on the specification, and offers a genuine reclaimed or new-cut option for period and conservation-area properties. Clay tile is durable and holds its colour well over decades, typically used where a traditional profile matters. Concrete tile is the most common covering on newer estates, offered in a wide range of profiles and colours at a lower unit cost than clay or natural slate. Ridge and hip detailing — whether traditional mortar bedding or a modern dry-fix mechanical system — is specified to suit the roof's exposure and pitch. Overton's historic core around the old Mill and Overton House sits alongside later modern estate development, giving a genuine mix of roof ages within a small village — and being deep in Hampshire's chalk downland, coastal weather simply isn't part of the picture here.
