FAQs
What makes your vinyl roofing and siding systems "maintenance-free"?
Our products are manufactured from high-grade, exterior-grade PVC that is colour-through, UV-stabilised, and impact resistant. Because the colour runs through the entire panel, you never need to scrape, sand, or paint. A simple rinse with a garden hose or occasional mild-detergent wash is all that is required to keep the surface looking new. The material will not rot, rust, blister, or peel, eliminating the upkeep typically associated with timber, aluminium, or fibre-cement cladding.
Will vinyl roofing and siding withstand Manchester’s variable weather?
Yes. The panels are engineered to handle Greater Manchester’s frequent rain, gusty winds, and periodic temperature swings. Our roofing membranes are hot-air welded for a watertight seal that resists standing water, while the siding is rated to withstand wind loads up to 110 mph once properly fastened to wall studs. UV inhibitors prevent fading during sunnier periods, and the material remains flexible in winter to avoid cracking. All systems are tested to British Standard BS 476 for fire performance and come with a manufacturer’s warranty of up to 40 years.
How long can I expect vinyl roofing or siding to last?
Typical service life ranges from 30 to 50 years, depending on exposure and colour choice. Unlike asphalt or wood, vinyl does not absorb moisture or support mould growth, so its structural integrity stays intact for decades. Our suppliers back the product with a transferable limited lifetime warranty covering fading, chalking, and manufacturing defects, giving homeowners long-term peace of mind and added resale value.
Does vinyl cladding improve my home’s energy efficiency?
When combined with an insulated backing or a ventilated rainscreen, vinyl siding can raise your wall’s overall R-value by up to 22 %. The reflective surface helps repel summer heat, while tight interlocking seams reduce air infiltration. Our white or light-coloured vinyl roofing membranes feature high solar reflectance index (SRI) scores, cutting rooftop temperatures by as much as 30 °C and lowering cooling costs. Many installations qualify for Energy Saving Trust incentives or reduced VAT on energy-saving materials.
What design options are available to match my property’s style?
We stock over 20 contemporary and heritage colours, including Manchester-favourite shades such as Cotswold Cream, Graphite Grey, and Brick Red. Siding profiles range from traditional clapboard and shiplap to cedar-shake and board-and-batten textures. Roofing membranes come in smooth or non-slip finishes and can be heat-welded into standing-seam patterns for a metal-roof look. Trim accessories—soffits, fascia, and gutter covers—are colour-matched for a cohesive, factory-finished appearance.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical semi-detached home in Manchester requires three to five days for siding replacement and one to two days for a single-storey roofing overlay. Our certified crews remove existing materials, inspect and repair the substrate, fit breathable membranes, and attach the vinyl with stainless-steel fixings. Work is scheduled around your availability, and most projects do not require you to vacate the property. We handle skip hire, site clean-up, and final recycling of old cladding, leaving your home weather-tight and site tidy the same day we finish.
