FAQs
What exactly will my Dedicated Project Manager do during a roof replacement in Manchester?
Your Dedicated Project Manager (PM) becomes your single point of contact from the initial survey to the final sign-off. They schedule site surveys, obtain material orders, arrange scaffolding and waste skips, liaise with neighbours if necessary, manage health-and-safety compliance, carry out daily quality inspections, provide you with photo and progress updates, and make sure the project stays on time and on budget. If unexpected issues arise—such as hidden timber rot or severe weather—the PM will discuss the options with you immediately and co-ordinate any agreed changes so there are no surprises.
How long will my roof replacement take?
Most standard semi-detached or detached homes in Manchester are completed in 2–4 working days once scaffolding is erected. A typical timeline is: • Day 1 – Scaffolding and skip delivered, old covering stripped. • Day 2 – Boarding, felt and battens installed, first tiles/slates laid. • Day 3 – Tiling/slating completed, ridges and verges finished, guttering checked. Larger properties, complex valley details, or very poor weather can add a day or two. Your PM will give you a tailored schedule in writing and update you if rain or high winds force any adjustments.
Which roofing materials do you offer and what’s best for Manchester’s climate?
We install concrete tiles, natural slate, clay tiles, composite slate, GRP fibreglass, and EPDM rubber for flat areas. Manchester’s high rainfall and occasional freeze-thaw cycles call for materials with low water absorption and strong wind resistance. Concrete tiles and natural Welsh or Spanish slates are the most popular choices because they combine durability with excellent weatherproofing. If you have a flat dormer or extension, GRP fibreglass offers a seamless, maintenance-free surface with a 25-year lifespan. Your PM will discuss appearance, weight, budget and local planning guidelines to help you pick the best option.
How will you protect my home and garden while the roof is being replaced?
Before work starts, protective boards are laid over patios, lawns and driveways. Scaffolding is fitted with debris netting, and heavy-duty tarpaulins are placed in the loft each evening in case of overnight rain. Chimneys and rooflights are temporarily sealed, and we follow a strict end-of-day tidy policy—loose tiles, nails and timber are cleared into a covered, licensed skip. Your PM checks the site daily to ensure paths are clear and any garden furniture or ornaments are undamaged.
Do I need planning permission for a roof replacement in Manchester?
In most cases, replacing a roof ‘like for like’ is classed as Permitted Development, so you don’t need formal planning permission. You will, however, need to comply with Building Regulations Part L (energy efficiency) and Part A (structural loading). If your property is listed, in a Conservation Area, or you want to change the roof height, pitch, or finish significantly, you may need consent. Your PM will confirm requirements with Manchester City Council, complete any applications, and organise the Building Control inspection and completion certificate on your behalf.
What guarantees and aftercare do you provide?
Every roof replacement includes a 10-year workmanship guarantee backed by the Confederation of Roofing Contractors plus a manufacturer’s material warranty of up to 30 years (depending on the product chosen). On completion, you’ll receive a handover pack with warranty certificates, Building Control sign-off, maintenance tips, and a photo log of the installation. We also offer a free 12-month inspection to ensure everything is performing as expected, and your Dedicated PM remains available for any questions throughout the guarantee period.
