Local roofing specialists serving Waterlooville, Purbrook, Cowplain and the surrounding north Hampshire area. Sitting on the southern slopes of the South Downs and above the main Portsmouth coastal plain, Waterlooville gets less salt exposure than Portsea Island — but it makes up for it in wind exposure from the north and south, and a housing stock dominated by 1960s to 1980s suburban estates whose concrete interlocking tile roofs are now well into the age range where problems emerge.

Learn more →Waterlooville grew rapidly as a suburban settlement from the 1960s onwards, and the dominant housing stock reflects this: large semi-detached and detached estates across Purbrook, Cowplain, Stakes and Waterlooville town centre core, almost all with concrete interlocking tile roofs laid in the 1960s to 80s. This stock is now 40 to 60 years old and we see consistent nail sickness, cracked tile bodies, and mortar failure across ridge and valley lines on properties throughout the area.
Older pockets of Victorian and Edwardian housing exist in Horndean and along the older road corridors south towards Portsmouth, with clay tile or slate and the associated chimney and flashing challenges. The higher elevation of Waterlooville compared to Portsmouth means wind loading on exposed ridges is significant — ridge tile losses in winter storms are a regular call-out. Properties on the eastern side of the town towards Rowlands Castle face the highest wind exposure.
Nail sickness on 1960s to 80s concrete tile roofs across the major suburban estates is the primary driver of roofing work in Waterlooville. Wind-related ridge tile losses from elevated exposed positions. Flat roof failures on garage additions built with the main house structures in the 1960s to 70s. Valley mortar failure and blockage from the significant deciduous tree cover across older Cowplain and Purbrook streets.
