Old Portsmouth is the historic waterfront settlement at the southern tip of Portsea Island — The Point, Bath Square, High Street. Georgian and early Victorian townhouses, most listed or within conservation areas. Portsmouth's most architecturally significant residential area.
Old Portsmouth's waterfront position creates direct Solent and harbour salt exposure simultaneously. The Point and Bath Square face the harbour mouth — the most salt-exposed residential streets in Portsmouth. Open water on three sides means no shelter from any wind direction.
Heritage material requirements on virtually every property. Severe salt corrosion on all exposed surfaces. Lead failure at accelerated rates. Lime mortar requirements on Georgian soft-brick. Conservation area compliance throughout.
Old Portsmouth is the most demanding roofing environment we work in — not just for salt exposure but for heritage compliance. We have carried out heritage roofing in Old Portsmouth over many years and understand the requirements of Portsmouth City Council's conservation team.
