FAQs
What roofing services does Whistling Winds Roofing offer in Manchester?
We provide a full spectrum of residential and light-commercial roofing services, including complete roof replacement, new-build roof installation, leak detection and repair, flat-roof membranes (EPDM, GRP, and torch-on felt), pitched-roof tiling and slating, chimney and lead-work repairs, fascia/soffit/gutter installation, and scheduled maintenance programmes.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak in the Greater Manchester area?
Our rapid-response team is on call 24/7. For addresses within the Manchester Ring Road (M60) we aim to be on site within 2 hours of your call, weather and traffic permitting. For surrounding towns such as Stockport, Bolton, or Oldham, arrival is typically within 3–4 hours. Temporary weatherproofing is applied immediately, and a full written quotation for permanent repair follows within 24 hours.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Manchester’s climate?
Manchester’s frequent rain and occasional high winds make durability and water-tightness critical. For pitched roofs we recommend premium concrete interlocking tiles or natural Welsh slate for longevity (60–100 years). On flats, we favour EPDM rubber for flexibility and GRP fibreglass for foot-traffic areas. All materials we install carry British Board of Agrément (BBA) certification and are sourced from suppliers who meet ISO 9001 quality standards.
Are you fully insured and accredited?
Yes. Whistling Winds Roofing holds £10 million public liability insurance and £5 million employer’s liability insurance. We are accredited by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) and hold CHAS health-and-safety certification. All operatives carry CSCS cards and are trained in working at height, asbestos awareness, and first aid.
What kind of warranties do you offer on new roofs and repairs?
New pitched roofs come with a 20-year workmanship guarantee, while flat roofs are covered for 15 years. Manufacturer warranties on tiles, slates, or membranes range from 20 to 50 years depending on the product. All guarantees are insurance-backed through the Quality Assured National Warranties (QANW) scheme, giving you transferable cover even if we cease trading.
How much will a typical roof replacement cost in Manchester?
Prices depend on roof size, pitch, access, and material choice. As a guideline, a three-bed semi-detached property with concrete tiles usually costs £5,500–£7,500 inclusive of scaffolding, removal of old materials, breathable membrane, battens, tiling, ridge work, and waste disposal. A comparable slate roof starts around £9,000. Every project receives a free, no-obligation survey and a fixed-price written quotation valid for 60 days.
