FAQs
How quickly can you respond to a storm-damaged roof in Manchester?
We maintain an emergency response team that can usually be on-site anywhere in Greater Manchester within 2–4 hours of your call, 24/7. Our first priority is to make the property safe by installing temporary tarps or boarding, after which we carry out a full damage assessment and provide a written restoration plan and estimate within 24 hours.
What are the most common signs of storm damage I should look for on my roof?
After high winds, hail, or heavy rain, look for missing or cracked slates/tiles, dented or bruised shingles, loose ridge caps, granule loss that exposes the underlayment, bent or missing flashing, ceiling stains inside your loft, and debris such as branches on the roof. If you notice any of these, arrange a professional inspection promptly—small issues can quickly become leaks that compromise the roof structure.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage restoration?
Yes. We work directly with all major UK insurers. Our surveyors document the damage with photos, moisture readings, and a detailed report that meets insurer requirements. We can file the claim on your behalf, meet with the loss adjuster, and negotiate the scope of works, saving you time and helping to ensure you receive the full entitlement for repairs or replacement.
Can your craftsmen match my existing roofing materials and style?
Absolutely. With over 40 years of local experience, our craftsmen have access to a network of suppliers that stock heritage slates, clay tiles, modern concrete tiles, and bespoke leadwork. Whether your property is a Victorian terrace, a post-war semi, or a contemporary build, we source like-for-like materials and replicate original detailing so the repaired sections blend seamlessly with the existing roof.
How long does a typical storm damage roof restoration take?
Minor repairs such as replacing a few tiles or flashing can be completed the same day. Moderate damage that involves partial re-battening or felt replacement usually takes 2–3 days. For severe damage requiring a full reroof, expect 5–7 working days, weather permitting. We provide a precise timeline once we have inspected the roof and factored in material lead times and scaffold requirements.
Why choose your time-tested craftsmanship over cheaper quick-fix options?
Our team is composed of NVQ-qualified roofers and master slaters whose workmanship exceeds British Standard BS 5534. We use premium graded battens, stainless-steel fixings, and breathable membranes that carry manufacturer warranties of up to 30 years. While a low-cost patch job may seem attractive, it often fails within a few seasons, leading to repeated leaks and higher cumulative costs. Our restorations are designed for longevity, preserving both the structural integrity and the value of your Manchester property.
