📞 Call Now: 0239 307 1334Working with us follows seven clear steps: first call or callback, a free survey of your Portsmouth roof, a written itemised quote, scheduling, the access and work days, cleanup, then sign-off with your 10-year guarantee. No call-out fee, no payment before materials are on site. Call 0239 307 1334.
Call 0239 307 1334 or leave a callback request. A local Portsmouth roofer — not a call centre — rings you back within two hours (8am–6pm, Mon–Sat) to understand the job.
We visit and inspect the roof properly. On Portsmouth's post-war estates like Paulsgrove and Leigh Park that means checking for nail sickness across the slopes; on Southsea and Fratton Victorian terraces it means slate condition, lead valleys and party-wall chimney flashings. We trace the actual fault, not just the visible symptom.
You receive a written, itemised quote — investigation, access, materials and repair separated, with coastal-grade marine fixings specified. Nothing vague, no verbal-only pricing.
Once you approve, we book a date and arrange scaffold or tower access. Where a terraced street like Albert Road or Fawcett Road needs pavement scaffold, we handle the Portsmouth City Council permit.
Scaffold goes up where needed, then we carry out the work to NFRC standards with marine-grade stainless fixings and flexible ridge compound — never sand-cement. We weatherproof at the end of each day and never leave a roof open overnight.
We clear all debris, remove the skip and waste, and protect your garden, drive and planting throughout. The site is left as we found it.
We walk the finished work with you, explain what was done, and hand over your written 10-year workmanship guarantee — transferable if you sell. If anything needs attention afterwards, one call brings us back.
A Cosham homeowner called about a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling. Our survey traced it to a failed lead valley two metres from the stain, not the tile directly above it. We quoted the valley rebuild and access in writing at £780, booked it the following week, arranged the tower access, stripped and re-laid the valley in code 5 lead over two days, cleared the debris, and handed over the guarantee. The homeowner had a written record, a dry ceiling, and no surprise extras — because the survey found the real fault before we quoted.
The NFRC advises homeowners to use a registered contractor who provides written quotations and workmanship guarantees, and to be wary of doorstep traders demanding upfront payment.

Roofing is one of the trades where homeowners are most exposed to poor practice — doorstep traders, verbal-only quotes, demands for cash upfront, and jobs that recur because the real fault was never found. Every step above exists to remove that risk. The written survey means the fault is diagnosed, not guessed. The itemised quote means you can see exactly what you are paying for and compare it fairly. The no-payment-before-materials rule means your money is never at risk ahead of the work. And the written, transferable guarantee means the job is backed long after we have left, and adds value if you sell.
On Portsmouth's coastal stock this discipline matters more than inland. Salt air hides secondary damage that only a proper survey finds; dense terrace access needs planning that a ground-level estimate never captures; and the wrong specification — standard fixings instead of marine-grade, cement instead of lime on a Victorian stack — fails years early. A clear process is how we make sure the work is right for Portsmouth, not just adequate anywhere. If you want to see how we decide between repairing and replacing a roof, our repair or replace guide walks through the honest test we apply.
Call 0239 307 1334 or use the callback form and a local roofer calls you back within two hours (8am–6pm, Mon–Sat). We book a free survey, then send a written itemised quote — no call-out fee, no obligation.
We check the covering, fixings, flashings, ridge, valleys, chimney, guttering and — on estate stock — nail sickness, plus the roof void where accessible. The survey is informed by what actually fails on your property's construction era.
Repairs are often booked within a few days; re-roofs typically start within a fortnight of accepting the quote, once scaffold is arranged. Emergencies are attended within around two hours.
Yes — we arrange and itemise scaffold, and handle any pavement or skip permit through Portsmouth City Council on terraced streets where space is tight. It's never a hidden extra.
Always. We sheet work areas, protect planting and drives, remove all waste, and do a final walk-round with you before handover.
We inspect the finished work with you, explain what was done, and hand over your written 10-year workmanship guarantee, transferable if you sell.
No. Surveys and written quotes are free across Portsmouth with no call-out fee. You only pay for agreed work, with no payment before materials are on site.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Local Portsmouth roofers.
