Why Work With a Qualified Roofing Professional?
Choosing an experienced roofing contractor who is registered under recognised industry standards, such as the Competent Roofer Scheme, ensures the work meets all relevant legal and safety requirements. Contractors under this scheme are independently audited each year to guarantee high levels of workmanship and compliance. This commitment to quality is why KNJ Roofing is one of the most trusted roofing specialists operating throughout the New Forest area. With our skilled and fully qualified team, you can rest assured that your roof repairs are in expert hands.
Important Note– If over half your roof needs to be replaced, current Building Regulations in England and Wales require that the entire roof is brought up to modern insulation standards. You must also notify your Local Authority Building Control (LABC) at least 48 hours before starting any significant refurbishment.
Common Roof Issues We Can Fix
Roofs built using quality materials and installed correctly can last many decades. However, problems can still arise – especially with time or exposure to harsh weather. Below are a few of the more frequent issues our clients in the New Forest encounter-
Missing or Damaged Roof Tiles
Strong winds and bad weather can dislodge or break tiles, leaving parts of your roof exposed. If any tiles are missing or cracked, it’s important to get them replaced quickly to stop moisture or pests from entering. KNJ Roofing can replace or repair affected tiles promptly to prevent further damage.
Leaks and Water Ingress
A leaking roof indicates that water is finding a way inside, which usually means something has failed – whether flashing, felt or tilework. There can be many causes behind a leak and it’s not always immediately visible. Our trained roofers will investigate the source and carry out effective, lasting repairs.
Neglected Maintenance
Lack of ongoing care can lead to drafts, leaks and long-term deterioration. Our team offers scheduled inspections and regular maintenance services throughout the New Forest, helping property owners avoid costly surprises by catching problems early.

Deciding Between Roof Repairs and Roof Replacement
For those unfamiliar with roofing systems, deciding between a repair and a full replacement can be confusing. Every property is different and the right approach will vary depending on your situation. Below, we provide a detailed breakdown of both options, including typical costs, pros and cons, to help you make a confident decision before contacting a local professional – such as KNJ Roofing, who cover the broader area surrounding the New Forest region.
Roof Repairs
Not everyone has the financial flexibility to invest in a complete roof replacement, especially when damage occurs suddenly. Unexpected issues – such as storm damage or dislodged tiles – can strike without warning and roof repairs offer a fast, affordable solution to protect your home in the short term.
With a reliable, experienced roofer like KNJ Roofing, roof repairs will be carried out to a high standard, providing you with safety and protection while helping extend the lifespan of your current roof. A well-executed repair can often buy you years before a full replacement is required.
Roof repairs tend to be more affordable, help extend your roof’s lifespan, improve the maintenance profile of your home and enhance its safety. Additionally, smaller fixes are typically completed quickly. On the other hand, they are not a permanent solution. If your roof is older and regularly needs attention, cumulative repair costs can exceed that of a new roof. Matching tiles or shingles can also be tricky, leading to visual inconsistencies. Repairs may also conceal underlying structural problems that escalate later. Depending on the severity of the damage, they might even cause temporary disruption to your household.
A repair might be the best course of action if your roof has minor storm damage, a few leaks, installation issues, isolated cracks, small holes, blistering or a handful of missing tiles. Of course, the best starting point is a full assessment by a trusted local roofer, like KNJ Roofing, who can give expert advice tailored to your specific situation. Sometimes, despite minor issues, a replacement may work out more cost-effective long term.
The cost of a repair job varies depending on the materials involved, size of the area affected and the contractor’s rates. As a general estimate, roofers may charge between £25 and £35 per hour or £200 to £300 per day, excluding material costs.
Roof Replacement
In many situations, a full roof replacement proves to be the smarter and more economical choice over time – particularly if your existing roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or has been poorly installed.
A properly installed roof should last 20 to 25 years with minimal issues. However, extreme weather or poor workmanship can fast-track deterioration, making repairs a false economy. In such cases, opting for a brand-new roof not only offers a long-term solution but can also add substantial value to your home.
A new roof provides a longer-lasting solution than repeated repairs, reduces long-term maintenance costs, boosts property value, improves your home’s appearance, enhances energy efficiency through better insulation and often includes a warranty for added peace of mind. However, roof replacements come with higher upfront costs, take more time to complete and may require you to vacate your home temporarily. They also involve more materials and can expose other hidden issues once the old roof is stripped back.
You should strongly consider a full roof replacement if your roof is nearing 25 years of age, has widespread damage, was installed poorly in the first place or shows signs of significant leaking, cracking or structural problems. As always, a professional opinion should be sought to avoid unnecessary expenditure.
Roof replacement costs vary greatly depending on roof size, design complexity, chosen materials and accessibility. While some small domestic properties may be on the lower end of the scale, larger or more intricate roofs will understandably cost more. A detailed site inspection and quote from a local expert like KNJ Roofing is the best way to establish an accurate price.

Case Study- Emergency Gutter Repair in Brockenhurst, New Forest
Client- Private homeowner
Location- Brockenhurst, New Forest
Service- Gutter realignment and leak repair
Duration- 1 day
Date Completed- June 2025
Overview
A homeowner in Brockenhurst contacted KNJ Roofing after noticing water spilling over the edge of their guttering during heavy rain. The overflow was causing damp patches to appear on the external walls. On inspection, we identified two key issues- a significant blockage caused by moss and leaf build-up and a misaligned gutter run that was preventing proper drainage.
What We Did
Our team arrived the next morning and safely accessed the guttering via tower scaffolding. We began by clearing all debris from the affected gutter sections and downpipes, ensuring free flow throughout the system. We then adjusted the pitch of the gutter run, as one side was sitting too flat, preventing water from reaching the downpipe efficiently. Finally, we replaced a worn rubber joint that had perished and was allowing water to escape during rainfall.
Result
The system was tested with a controlled flow of water and the repairs held perfectly. The homeowner reported immediate improvement during the next rainfall, with no further signs of overflow or damp. Our team also offered preventative advice and scheduled a six-monthly maintenance check to keep the system in top condition.
Client Feedback
“KNJ Roofing were efficient, friendly and incredibly tidy. We had no idea the guttering could cause such a problem so quickly. The team explained everything clearly and sorted it out on the spot. Highly recommend.”
