Roofers in Fareham
Fareham built its own bricks and tiles, and the older parts of town still wear them. We repair and replace roofs across Fareham, Portchester and Titchfield, from conservation area cottages to 1970s estate housing.
Roof Repairs and Replacements Across Fareham and Portchester
Fareham's brickworks gave the area its distinctive red brick and clay tile, and the High Street conservation area shows what that looked like at its best: Georgian frontages, clay plain tiles, steep pitches and roof shapes altered over generations. Titchfield brings older cottages again, some very low pitches and a lot of history behind the covering. Then the town expanded, hard, from the 1960s onwards. Portchester, Stubbington and the estates between them are concrete interlocking tiles on trussed rafters, with mortar-bedded ridges and verges and flat-roofed garages attached. Those roofs are now forty to sixty years old, which is when coverings and roofline systems start needing decisions rather than patches. Add creekside damp and salt reaching in from the harbour and there is a steady stream of failed flashings and corroded fixings. We survey first and quote for what the roof needs, whichever end of the town it sits in.
Two Ages of Roof, One Contractor
Fareham gives us two very different jobs. A conservation area frontage needing matched clay tile and careful leadwork, or a 1970s estate roof needing a recover and a new roofline. We do both, with the same team, and the survey decides which one you actually have rather than which one is easier to sell. Fifteen years across pitched roofs, flat roofs, chimneys, timber and guttering means nothing gets subcontracted out mid-job. Photographs, honest advice on what can wait, and a written quotation before work is arranged.
15+ Years of Roofing Experience

Complete Roofing Service
We inspect, repair, replace and maintain the whole roof system, from tiles and flashing to timbers, ventilation and guttering, so you never need to appoint several different contractors for one roof.
Honest Advice & Clear Quotations
We recommend the work your roof genuinely needs, never a full replacement by default. Every quotation is clear and written, with free, no-obligation advice to help you decide.
What Fareham Homeowners Ask Before Booking
Whether the problem is the roof or the guttering, how older tile gets matched, and what conservation status changes. These are the ones that come up most across Fareham, Portchester and Titchfield.
Which areas around Fareham do you cover?
Fareham, Portchester, Titchfield, Stubbington, Locks Heath, Whiteley, Funtley and out to Gosport, Wickham and Portsmouth. Call with your postcode if you are unsure.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Three to five working days for a typical semi or terrace once scaffold is up, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs take longer, as do jobs where timber repairs are needed once the covering is off. Your written quotation gives the expected duration.
Do you replace fascias, soffits and guttering?
Yes. Full uPVC roofline replacement, fascia and soffit renewal, gutter and downpipe replacement, and roofline inspections. On 1960s and 1970s estate housing the original timber roofline is often the first part of the roof to fail.
My house is in the conservation area. Does that change anything?
It can. Conservation area status affects changes to appearance, so like-for-like repair is usually straightforward while a change of covering type may need consent from Fareham Borough Council. We will tell you which applies to the work you are considering.
Can you match Fareham's older clay tiles?
In most cases yes. We salvage and reuse sound tiles from your own roof first, then source reclaimed or handmade equivalents to make up numbers. On a conservation area frontage getting that match right matters, and we will show you before it goes up.
How do I know if the problem is the roof or the guttering?
It is a fair question and often the guttering. Overflowing or leaking gutters soak the wall and the fascia and show up inside as damp at ceiling level, which reads like a roof leak. We check the roofline as part of any inspection, because the cheaper answer deserves ruling in before the expensive one.
