What our customers say
FAQs
What types of roofing services do you offer in Manchester?
We provide a full range of roofing services, including new roof installations, re-roofing, roof repairs, flat roofing (EPDM, GRP fibreglass, and felt), slate and tile replacement, chimney and leadwork repairs, guttering, fascia and soffit installations, and emergency call-outs for storm damage. Whether you own a terraced home in Didsbury, a commercial unit in Trafford Park, or a period property in Altrincham, our experienced team can tailor a solution to meet your specific needs.
How much does a new roof cost in Manchester?
The cost of a new roof depends on several factors: roof size and pitch, choice of materials (slate, concrete tile, clay tile, or flat-roof membranes), complexity of the structure, and any additional work such as insulation upgrades or chimney repairs. As a rough guide, a typical three-bedroom semi-detached property in Manchester may cost £5,000–£9,000 for a complete pitched re-roof, while a flat roof can range from £70–£110 per square metre. We always provide a free, no-obligation survey and written quotation so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
How long will a roof replacement or repair take?
Most straightforward roof repairs (such as replacing a few broken tiles or fixing flashing) can be completed within 1–2 days. A full roof replacement on an average-sized house usually takes 4–7 working days, depending on weather conditions and material availability. We schedule work to minimise disruption and keep you informed at every stage. Emergency repairs can often be carried out the same day or within 24 hours of your call.
Do I need planning permission or building regulations approval for roofing work in Manchester?
In most cases, like-for-like roof repairs or replacements do not require planning permission. However, if you are altering the roof’s height, shape, or material (for example, converting a flat roof to a pitched roof), planning permission may be needed. Building regulations approval is required for structural changes and for re-roofing more than 25% of the roof area, particularly to ensure adequate insulation is installed. We handle all necessary notices and liaise with Manchester City Council’s building control on your behalf to keep your project compliant.
How does Manchester’s weather affect my roof and its maintenance?
Manchester experiences high annual rainfall and frequent strong winds, which can accelerate wear on roofing materials, loosen tiles, and cause leaks. Moss growth is also common due to damp conditions, potentially blocking gutters and preventing proper drainage. Regular inspections—ideally twice a year and after severe storms—help detect issues early. We recommend clearing gutters, checking flashings, and replacing damaged tiles promptly to extend your roof’s lifespan and prevent costly water damage inside your property.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide on your roofing work?
All of our workmanship is covered by a minimum 10-year guarantee for pitched roofs and up to 20 years for certain flat-roof systems such as EPDM and GRP. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties, which can be as long as 30–40 years for premium slates. We are fully insured with £5 million public liability cover and are members of reputable trade bodies, giving you additional peace of mind that your investment is protected.
