Roofer Portsmouth Roof repairs, new roofs & flat roofing from a local, 5-star rated team

It depends on what has failed and how easy it is to reach. A few slipped tiles that can be reached safely cost far less than a repair that needs scaffolding, new lead work or a section of underlay replacing. The type of tile or slate, the pitch and height of the roof all make a difference too. We look at the roof first and give you a free, no-obligation quote with the work explained, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Yes. If a storm has lifted tiles, your ridge has come loose or water is coming through a ceiling, call us on 07525 253333. We will make the roof safe and watertight first, then come back to carry out a proper permanent repair once we know the full extent of the damage.

We cover the whole of Portsmouth, including Southsea, Fratton, North End, Copnor, Milton, Eastney, Cosham, Drayton and Paulsgrove, plus the surrounding towns such as Portchester, Fareham, Gosport, Havant, Waterlooville and Hayling Island. Our base is in Portchester, so the city is right on our doorstep.

If the roof covering is generally sound and the problem is local, such as a few broken tiles, a failed flashing or a loose ridge, a repair is usually the sensible choice. When tiles or slates are failing across the roof, the underlay has perished or the battens are rotten, repeated repairs stop being good value and a replacement makes more sense. We will tell you honestly which applies to your roof.

Often, yes. Splits, blisters and failed upstands can be repaired when the rest of the covering is in good condition. If water has been getting in for a long time and the deck underneath has gone soft, re-covering the whole roof is the longer-lasting fix. We check the deck as well as the surface before recommending either option.

It depends on the size and shape of the roof, the materials, access and, above all, the weather. A straightforward re-roof on an average house is usually measured in days rather than weeks once the scaffolding is up. We will give you a realistic timescale with your quote and keep you updated if the weather changes the plan.

Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas can be different, and replacing a large area of roof can bring Building Regulations into play. We will flag anything that could apply to your property before any work starts.
