Re-roofing homes across Fareham
Fareham is where our company is registered, and with our base just along the road in Portchester the whole area is close to hand. We replace roofs on everything from Georgian and Victorian town houses near the High Street to the large estates built from the 1960s onwards.
Many of those estate homes have concrete tile roofs that are now several decades old. Over time the tiles get porous, the felt underneath perishes and the battens start to rot, so leaks get harder to chase down one at a time. At that point a full replacement on new membrane and battens is usually the sensible long-term fix.
We take care of the whole job, from scaffolding and stripping to the new covering, ridges, verges and lead work, and we leave the site clean when the scaffold comes down.

Signs your roof needs replacing
If your Fareham roof is showing several of these at once, it is worth asking about a replacement rather than another repair.
Concrete tiles worn rough
Concrete tiles lose their surface over the decades, turning porous and mossy until they soak up water instead of shedding it.
Perished felt in the loft
Brittle, torn or sagging felt means the roof's second line of defence has gone.
Cracked ridge and verge mortar
Mortar along ridges and verges cracks and washes out, letting tiles work loose in high winds.
Battens gone soft
Battens that have been damp for years stop holding their nails, and the tiles start to slide.
Daylight in the roof space
Light showing through, or water stains on the rafters, mean the roof needs more than a patch.
Leaks you cannot pin down
When the leak turns up in a different place each time it rains, the problem is usually the whole roof rather than one tile.

How we replace a roof in Fareham
From the first visit to the last tile, this is how a roof replacement with us runs in Fareham.
Inspection and free quote
We look at the roof and the loft, take photos and explain what we find before giving you a clear, written quote.
Scaffold and strip
Scaffolding goes up, then the old covering, battens and felt come off and are taken away responsibly.
Timbers and membrane
Rafters are checked and repaired where needed, then a breathable membrane and new treated battens go on.
New roof and finishes
Slate or tiles are laid, ridges, hips, verges, valleys and lead work are finished neatly, and the site is left clean.
Slate, clay or concrete tiles?
From Georgian town houses to modern estates, Fareham roofs call for different coverings. These are the main options.
Natural slate
Long-lasting and right for many Victorian and Edwardian houses, fixed to suit the pitch and exposure.
Clay plain tiles
A traditional small-format tile with a warm colour, often chosen for character and period homes.
Concrete tiles
Interlocking concrete tiles are a practical, cost-effective choice for many semis and bungalows.
Re-using your tiles
Where the existing tiles are sound, they can sometimes be stripped and re-laid on new underlay and battens.

- High standard of work
- On time
- Leaks sorted
- Polite staff
Altitude came recommended and lived up to it: quick to respond, polite and fairly priced. They put right a large shed roof that another company had already had two goes at.
Great from first call to finish. Jordan took the time to explain what was behind the cold spots in the house, kept us updated throughout, and the roof work itself was done to a high standard.
I had water coming in around the chimney and some very expensive quotes elsewhere. Jordan was honest, explained exactly what the repair needed and broke the cost down clearly.

Roof replacement Fareham FAQs
Answers to the questions we are asked most about replacing a roof in Fareham.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Fareham?
There is no one price for a new roof. A hipped roof with valleys costs more than a simple gable, slate and clay cost more than concrete tiles, and nobody knows the state of the battens and timbers until the old covering is off. We price the job after looking at the roof, and the quote is free, written and broken down so you can compare like with like.
My house has concrete tiles. Can they be re-used?
Concrete tiles in good condition can sometimes be stripped and re-laid on new membrane and battens. Older concrete tiles are often too worn or porous to be worth re-using, though, and the saving can be smaller than you might expect. We will tell you which makes more sense once we have seen the roof.
Do I need planning permission to re-roof in Fareham?
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission. Listed buildings and homes in a conservation area, such as parts of Fareham town centre and Titchfield, can be different, and renewing most of a roof can bring Building Regulations into play. We flag anything that could apply before work starts.
How long will my house be under scaffolding?
For a typical house, the roof is usually stripped and re-covered in days rather than weeks once the scaffolding is up. The scaffold comes down once the roof is finished and we have checked everything with you. Weather can stretch the timescale, and we keep you updated if it does.
Can you replace a garage or extension roof at the same time?
Yes. If you have a flat roof on a garage, porch or extension that is also past its best, we can quote for replacing it in felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass alongside the main roof.
