FAQs
What types of roofing services does Manchester Skies Roofing offer?
We handle the full spectrum of residential and light–commercial roofing, including new roof installation, re-roofing, leak repair, storm-damage restoration, chimney and lead-flashings, fascia/soffit and gutter replacement, flat-roof systems (EPDM, GRP and torch-on felt), as well as scheduled maintenance programmes. If it sits on top of your property, we can build, fix or upgrade it.
How can I tell whether my roof needs a minor repair or a complete replacement?
A detailed inspection is the only reliable way to know. Warning signs such as missing or slipped slates/tiles, granule loss on shingles, recurring leaks, sagging rooflines, excessive moss growth or daylight visible in the loft often point to underlying structural issues. During our free survey we photograph problem areas, check the roof deck, under-felt and insulation, and give you an honest report. If 25-30 % of the covering is failing or the structure is degraded, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs.
Which roofing materials perform best in Manchester’s climate?
For pitched roofs we typically recommend high-quality natural slate or Class A clay tiles because they withstand heavy rain, frost cycles and wind uplift common to the North West. For customers seeking a more economical option, concrete interlocking tiles with a microporous coating also fare well. On flat roofs EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass both provide 25+ years of watertight service with minimal maintenance. All materials we supply are BBA-certified and compliant with current UK building regulations for wind-load and thermal performance.
How long will a new roof installation take?
Duration depends on roof size, complexity and weather, but most semi-detached homes in Manchester are completed in 3–5 working days. We schedule scaffold erection one day prior, strip and inspect the existing deck on day one, install breathable membrane and battens day two, lay tiles/slates on days three and four, then finish with ridges, leadwork and guttering. Flat roofs average 1-2 days. You’ll receive a detailed timeline before we start, and we always aim to keep disruption to a minimum.
Do you provide warranties on workmanship and materials?
Yes. Every full roof replacement comes with a 10-year Manchester Skies workmanship guarantee, underwritten for additional peace of mind. Manufacturer warranties range from 20 years on concrete tiles to 40–75 years on natural slate, and 20–25 years on EPDM and GRP membranes. Guarantee certificates are issued upon completion and are transferable should you sell your property.
How much will it cost and do you charge for quotes?
Site surveys and written quotations are 100 % free with no obligation. After measuring roof dimensions, assessing access and discussing material choices we provide a fixed-price quote that itemises labour, materials, scaffold, waste disposal and VAT, so there are no hidden extras. Typical costs for a three-bed semi-detached re-roof in clay tiles start around £5,500–£7,500, while slate ranges from £7,000–£9,500. Finance options and staged payments are available to help spread the investment.
