FAQs
What roofing services do you provide across Manchester?
Our seasoned roofers handle the full spectrum of residential and commercial roofing needs, including new roof installation, full or partial re-roofing, slate and tile repairs, flat-roof systems (EPDM, felt, GRP fibreglass), chimney and leadwork, uPVC fascia/soffit replacement, guttering, roof inspections, and scheduled maintenance. Whether you need a small leak fixed or a complete roof replacement, we have the experience, tools, and local knowledge to get it done right the first time.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
For an average semi-detached home in Manchester, a pitched roof replacement normally takes 3–5 working days from scaffold erection to site clean-up. Larger properties, complex valleys or dormers, or the need for structural timber repairs can extend the schedule. Before work begins, we give you a detailed programme so you know exactly what to expect. We also keep a close eye on the local forecast—if Greater Manchester’s famous rain is on the way, we use breathable membranes and temporary coverings to keep your home watertight at every stage.
Are you licensed, insured, and compliant with local regulations?
Absolutely. We are fully insured with £5 million public liability cover and £10 million employers’ liability. All operatives hold CSCS cards, and our foremen carry NVQ Level 2 or 3 Roofing qualifications. We install every roof to BS 5534 (Slating & Tiling) and Approved Document Part L of the Building Regulations. On completion you receive a written workmanship guarantee (10–20 years depending on the system) and, where applicable, a manufacturer-backed warranty for the materials used.
Which roofing materials work best for Manchester’s climate?
Greater Manchester’s mix of rainfall, wind, and occasional freeze–thaw cycles calls for durable, weather-resistant materials. Locally quarried natural slate and high-grade concrete tiles are our top choices for pitched roofs—they shed water quickly and have lifespans of 60–100 years. For flat roofs, single-ply EPDM rubber performs exceptionally well in wet climates and comes with 20-year guarantees. GRP fibreglass is another popular option for extensions and dormers because it is seamless and resistant to standing water. We’ll always discuss budget, aesthetics, and performance so you get the best long-term value.
Do you offer emergency call-outs for storm damage?
Yes. Our Manchester-based rapid-response team is on standby 24/7. If high winds dislodge tiles or heavy rain creates sudden leaks, phone us and we aim to be on site within 2 hours. We start with temporary measures—tarpaulins, emergency sealing or battening—then schedule permanent repairs once the weather clears. All emergency work is documented with photos for insurance claims, and we can liaise directly with your insurer if needed.
How much does a new roof cost, and do you provide free quotes?
Every roof is different, but as a guide, a full pitched roof replacement on a typical three-bed semi starts from about £5,000–£7,500 for concrete tiles and £8,000–£12,000 for natural slate. Flat-roof systems range from £60–£120 per square metre depending on the membrane. We carry out a free, no-obligation survey, produce a written quote itemising labour, materials, scaffold, and waste disposal, and explain any optional upgrades such as insulation or ventilation. No hidden extras—what you see on the quote is what you pay.
