Local coverage
We are not 'covering' Havant.We are based in it.
Most roofers listing Havant on their website are driving in from Southampton or Fareham. We live and work here, which changes how quickly we reach you and how well we already know the housing stock.

S&S Roofing & Building Limited operates out of Havant, Hampshire, and Havant is where the largest share of our work happens. That covers the town centre and the streets around West Street and the Meridian Centre, the older terraces and cottages near St Faith's, the interwar and post-war semis through Bedhampton and Warblington, the estates at Leigh Park and Barncroft, the newer developments at Wade Court and Brockhampton, and the coastal edge at Langstone where salt air and exposure make their own demands on a roof.
Because we are already in the borough, an inspection in Havant usually does not need to wait for a gap in a schedule somewhere else. Call in the morning and it is normally same-day or next-day for a look at the roof; for storm damage, a burst gutter running down a wall, or water coming through a ceiling, we treat it as an emergency call-out and come out at whatever hour you ring. An emergency call-out fee applies, starting at £50, and may vary with travel distance — from Havant addresses that distance is minimal.
Knowing the property types matters more than it sounds. A 1930s Bedhampton semi with a shallow-pitch concrete tile roof fails in a completely different way from a Victorian terrace off Elm Lane with natural slate and lead valleys, and both behave differently from a 1960s Leigh Park property with a felted flat roof over the back addition. We quote for the roof in front of us rather than a template, and the photographic report you receive after every inspection shows you exactly which of those failure patterns is happening on your house.
The jobs we are called out to most often in Havant follow the seasons. Autumn brings blocked gutters and moss washed down into the outlets from the mature trees around Havant Park and the Billy Trail. Winter brings slipped tiles and chimney flashing leaks after south-westerly gales come up over Langstone Harbour. Spring brings the discovery of everything winter did — stained ceilings, damp chimney breasts, sagging felt on garage roofs. We handle all of it, from a single slipped tile to a full strip and re-tile.
Response times in Havant
Same-day or next-day free inspections in normal conditions, and genuine 24/7 attendance for emergencies. You call the number on this page and one of the owners answers it — there is no call centre in between.
Property types we work on here
Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war council-built housing at Leigh Park, modern estate homes, bungalows, garages, extensions and outbuildings. Pitched, flat, tiled, slated and felted.
Common Havant call-outs
Slipped and cracked tiles after gales, chimney flashing leaks, blocked and split guttering, failed felt on garage and extension roofs, and moss build-up on north-facing slopes.
Access and scaffold
Terraced streets and tight rear access are normal here. Where scaffold is needed we recommend a scaffolding firm we work with regularly, and where the roof is unsafe to walk we survey it by drone from £250.

Evidence before opinion
Every inspection ends with a photographic report. You see the cracked flashing or the perished felt for yourself before you are asked to spend anything.

Local conditions
What goes wrong onHavant roofs, and why
Havant sits between Langstone Harbour and the South Downs, so its roofs take coastal wind and inland damp at the same time. Combine that with a housing stock spanning 150 years and the failure patterns become very predictable.
South-westerly gales off Langstone Harbour
Havant is exposed to wind coming in over the water with very little to break it. Ridge tiles bedded in old, cracked mortar and tiles held on nothing but their nibs are the first things to go, and a single displaced tile at the top of a slope lets driven rain under the whole course below it.
Salt-laden air at Langstone and Warblington
Properties near the shoreline get a constant film of salt on the roof and rainwater goods. It accelerates corrosion on old nails, screws and metal fixings, and it shortens the life of cheap fascia and gutter systems considerably faster than the same products would fail two miles inland.
Interwar and post-war shallow pitches
Large parts of Bedhampton, Warblington and Leigh Park were built with concrete tiles on relatively shallow pitches. On a shallow pitch, wind-driven rain travels back up under the tile far more easily, so once the sarking felt beneath has torn or perished the roof starts leaking in weather that never troubled it before.
Victorian slate and lead in the old town
The older properties around St Faith's and the town centre use natural slate with lead valleys and soakers. Slate itself lasts, but the nails holding it corrode — that is nail sickness, and it shows up as slates sliding off in ones and twos with no obvious damage to the slate at all.
Mature trees, moss and blocked outlets
Havant is a green borough, and leaf litter from the trees along the Billy Trail and around the park ends up in gutters and valleys. Add moss from north-facing slopes that stay damp all winter and the outlets block, gutters overflow, and water runs down the wall instead of into the drain.
Ageing felt flat roofs
Thousands of Havant garages, rear extensions and dormers still carry mineral felt laid decades ago. Felt hardens, cracks at the laps and ponds where the fall was never right. It is the single most common flat-roof failure we are called to in this area.
None of these are exotic problems, and none of them need a roofer to be dramatic about them. What they do need is diagnosis before pricing. A stained bedroom ceiling in a Bedhampton semi could be a chimney flashing, a cracked tile two metres uphill of the stain, a blocked valley, or condensation from a poorly ventilated loft — and the repair, the cost and the guarantee are different in each case. Guessing is how homeowners end up paying twice.
That is the whole reason we inspect free of charge and send photographs afterwards. If the honest answer is that your Havant roof has years left in it and needs only a small repair, we will say so. If the answer is that it has been patched five times and needs stripping and re-tiling, you will see the evidence for that too, and you can take the quote away and compare it without anyone chasing you.

Straight answers
Havant roofingquestions, answered
Anything not covered here, call 07926 240983. You will speak to an owner, not a salesperson, at any hour of the day.
Do you cover Havant?+
Yes — Havant is where S&S Roofing & Building Limited is based. We work across the whole borough including Bedhampton, Warblington, Langstone, Leigh Park, Barncroft and the town centre, as well as the surrounding Hampshire and West Sussex area.
How fast can you get to a Havant property?+
In normal conditions we can usually inspect a Havant roof the same day or the next day, because we are already in the town. For emergencies such as storm damage or water coming through a ceiling, we attend 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
What does roofing work cost in Havant?+
We price each job individually and give a fixed written price rather than a vague range, because a slipped tile and a full re-roof are not comparable. Inspections and quotes are free. Drone surveys start from £250 and emergency call-outs start from £50, which may vary depending on travel distance.
Are you available for emergencies in Havant at night or at weekends?+
Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by one of the owners. Emergency call-outs start from £50 and may vary with travel distance — from a Havant address that distance is short.
Are you insured to work on my Havant home?+
Yes. We carry £1,000,000 public liability insurance across every job.
Do you guarantee work carried out in Havant?+
Yes, we offer a workmanship guarantee. The cover varies by job type — repairs, re-roofs and flat roofs are not the same — so we confirm the exact guarantee in writing alongside your quote.
Can you inspect a Havant roof without putting scaffold up?+
Often, yes. A drone survey lets us inspect the whole roof in high resolution without scaffold or ladders, which is useful on steep, high or unsafe roofs and for insurance evidence. Drone surveys start from £250.
Will I get proof of what is wrong with my roof?+
Yes. Every inspection ends with a photographic report showing what we actually found up there, so you are making a decision on evidence rather than on a roofer's description.
How do I pay for work in Havant?+
We accept cash or bank transfer. Your quote is a fixed written price agreed before work begins.
Do you work outside Havant?+
Yes. Alongside Havant we regularly work in Emsworth, Rowlands Castle, Southbourne, Portsmouth, Chichester and Southampton, and across the wider Hampshire and West Sussex area.
