FAQs
How do I know if my roof tiles need replacing?
Common warning signs include slipped, cracked or missing tiles, persistent leaks or damp patches in your loft, excessive moss growth, and visible sagging to the roofline. In Manchester’s wet, windy climate, these issues can escalate quickly, so we recommend arranging a free inspection if you notice any of these symptoms or if your roof is more than 20-25 years old.
What tile materials do you offer for replacement in Manchester?
We supply and install all major tile types, including concrete, clay, natural slate, fibre-cement slate and lightweight composite options. Our surveyor will assess your property style, local planning requirements and budget to recommend the best material. All tiles we use are BBA-certified and rated to withstand the North-West’s high rainfall and wind exposure.
How long does a tile roof replacement take?
A typical semi-detached house in Manchester usually takes 3-5 working days from scaffold erection to final tidy-up. Larger or more complex roofs may take up to two weeks. We provide a detailed schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily. Unexpected structural repairs or severe weather can extend the timeframe, but we always prioritise weather-proofing your home as early as possible.
Will you handle planning permission and building regulations?
Most like-for-like tile replacements fall under permitted development, so formal planning permission is rarely required. However, properties in conservation areas or listed buildings around Greater Manchester may need consent. We check local regulations, liaise with the council if necessary, and submit the Building Control notice for your roof replacement to ensure full compliance.
Can you match new tiles to the colour and style of my existing roof?
Yes. We work with leading UK tile manufacturers and reclamation yards to source tiles that closely match your current colour, texture and profile. If your exact tile is no longer produced, we can blend reclaimed and new tiles or recommend a near-identical alternative so your roof maintains its original character while benefiting from modern performance.
How much does roof tile replacement cost in Manchester?
Costs depend on roof size, tile type and any underlying timber or insulation work required. As a guide, a full tile replacement on an average three-bed semi starts from £4,500+VAT for concrete tiles, rising to £6,500–£8,500+VAT for clay or fibre-cement slates, and £10,000+VAT or more for natural Welsh slate.
