Full roof replacement across Portsmouth and Hampshire. Portsmouth's coastal salt environment means specification matters more here than anywhere inland — marine-grade fixings and breathable membrane are standard on every job we do, not optional extras.

Portsmouth's re-roof market is driven by three overlapping factors. The post-war estates in Paulsgrove, Buckland and the Cosham suburbs carry concrete interlocking tile roofs from the 1950s and 60s that are approaching or beyond their 60-year design life — nail sickness and surface erosion are now widespread. The 1930s inter-war stock in Cosham and Drayton carries concrete tiles approaching 90 years of age. And the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Southsea, Fratton and North End have clay tile and slate roofs where cumulative repairs have reached the point where a full strip and re-roof is the economically sensible option.
All Portsmouth re-roof projects include breathable membrane underlay, pressure-treated battens and marine-grade stainless fixings as standard. We survey the batten and rafter structure before quoting — any decay or structural issues are identified upfront and included in the price, not presented as extras mid-job.
Old Portsmouth and parts of Southsea are within conservation areas where tile replacement requires materials matching the original character. We source reclaimed clay plain tiles and Welsh slate for these properties and advise on planning consent requirements before quoting.
We survey the full structure before quoting — no mid-job surprises. Written itemised quote before any work starts.

Salt air from the Solent and Portsmouth Harbour corrodes standard galvanised fixings significantly faster than inland — as much as 40% shorter design life in direct coastal positions. Marine-grade stainless fixings are standard on all our Portsmouth re-roofs, not an optional extra.
A standard 3-bed semi takes 4 to 6 days. We give a realistic timeline in the written quote and keep you updated throughout.
