Roofers in Cosham

Roofing and building in Cosham

Cosham sits at the foot of Portsdown Hill, on the mainland side of Portsmouth, where the city meets the chalk ridge. It is a busy, mixed area of terraces, interwar semis and post-war housing.

JFC Roofing and Building covers Cosham and the neighbouring areas, such as Drayton, Wymering and Paulsgrove, with new roofs, repairs, chimneys, gutters and drives. If you have a leak in the night, we are open 24/7.

Homes and roofs in Cosham

Cosham has a lot of 1930s and later semi-detached houses and bungalows, typically with tiled roofs, brick chimneys and a flat-roofed garage or side extension. Those garage roofs and porches are often the first to wear out. Older terraces closer to the centre are more likely to have slate and shared chimney stacks.

Local weather and your roof

The hill gives the area a more exposed feel than the flat city streets to the south, and wind can hit hard when a storm comes up from the Solent. Tiles and ridges on exposed roofs can loosen over time, so a check after a bad storm is a good idea.
