Roof Replacement Fareham
Roof Replacement in Fareham, Hampshire
Fareham town centre has a substantial Victorian and Edwardian core around West Street and High Street, with terraced housing in the streets behind the town. The majority of the borough is 1960s to 1980s suburban development — large estates at Catisfield, Stubbington and Park Gate with predominantly concrete interlocking tile roofs now 40 to 60 years old. Portchester has older stock again including properties near the Castle.
Our roof replacement service covers all of PO14 — free surveys, honest assessments and no call-out fees. Call 0238 184 9628 for same-week availability across Fareham.
When we strip a roof in Fareham for replacement we see a predictable picture for each era. On Victorian town centre terraces with 1960s to 1980s Catisfield, Stubbington and Park Gate estates properties, the underlay condition varies from intact breathable membrane on properties maintained in the last 20 years to disintegrating bitumen felt on those that have not been touched. Rotten batten sections are found in the valley areas on most properties. Sarking board condition varies but is generally better than the felt or underlay above it.
Materials for Re-Roofing in Fareham
The correct replacement tile depends on the property era and the street character. For properties in conservation areas or historic streets in Fareham, we use like-for-like material. For the majority of the estate housing stock, modern concrete or clay interlocking tile gives a significantly better performance specification than the original 1960s and 1970s product it replaces — better ventilation, improved thermal performance under breathable underlay, and a 30-plus year expected service life.
The Re-Roofing Programme in Fareham
A standard 3-bed property in Fareham takes 3 to 5 working days for the roofing work. Scaffolding is erected the day before and struck 1 to 2 days after completion. We provide a firm programme in the quote — not a vague estimate. The property is made weathertight at the end of each working day. We coordinate scaffolding as part of the job management process. All waste from the stripped roof is removed and recycled.
Customer Reviews
What Fareham Homeowners Say
★★★★★
"Full re-roof on our Catisfield estate property. 1960s concrete tiles had been failing for two winters. Modern clay tile, four days, clean site. 10-year guarantee. Problem sorted permanently."
Brian W. · Fareham
★★★★★
"They surveyed and were honest — repairs were no longer economical. Full re-roof at a fair price, exactly as quoted. No surprises on the invoice."
Janet F. · Fareham, Hampshire
★★★★★
"Re-roof on our 1930s semi in Fareham. They used appropriate clay tile for the era of the building. Looks right and properly done."

What We Find When Re-Roofing in Fareham
When we strip a roof in Fareham, the condition of the underlay and structural timbers beneath determines the full scope of work. On the Victorian town centre terraces with 1960s to 1980s Catisfield and Park Gate suburban estates, underlay condition ranges from sound breathable membrane on well-maintained properties to disintegrating bitumen felt on those that have not been opened up in 40 years. Rotten batten sections are found in most valley areas. We assess all of this at survey stage and include it in the quote before work begins.
Materials for Re-Roofing Fareham Properties
Correct material selection for Fareham properties means using tile appropriate to the era and street character. The Welsh slate on Victorian stock, concrete interlocking on post-war estates is our standard specification for the relevant property types. Modern concrete or clay interlocking tile gives significantly better performance than the 1960s and 1970s product it replaces — better ventilation, improved thermal performance under breathable underlay, and a 30-plus year expected service life versus the 40 to 50 years that is now ending on the post-war estate stock.
The Re-Roofing Programme
A standard 3-bed property in Fareham takes 3 to 5 working days. We provide a firm programme in the quote — not a range. The property is weathertight at the end of each day. Scaffolding is erected the day before and struck 1 to 2 days after completion. All stripped material is removed and recycled. A written 10-year workmanship guarantee is provided on completion.

Honest advice
Is Roof Replacement the Right Fix for Your Fareham Roof?
Before committing to a re-roof in Fareham, it pays to be sure the whole covering has failed and not just one part. Here is the honest test.
Widespread moss and delamination across the covering
Sagging roofline or visible dips in the slope
Nail sickness affecting more than a third of the slates
A roof patch-repaired repeatedly where the repairs no longer hold
Tiles or slates failing across the whole roof, not in isolated spots
When it is not the answer: If the covering is sound and only isolated areas have failed, a re-roof is oversell — an honest roofer will steer you to a repair Read the full guide.
Nail sickness: the slate outlives its fixings, so 70–85% of a Welsh slate roof can usually be relaid.The process

Good to know
Disruption, Mess & Weather
A re-roof is the noisiest, busiest roofing job — a skip and scaffold for the duration, stripping noise by day — but you do not need to be home for external work. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Re-roofs run year-round; each day’s stripped area is made watertight before we leave, so rain never reaches the inside. Fareham sits at the head of its own creek off Portsmouth Harbour, with salt exposure similar to the Solent shore.
