General Roofing
Core ServicesRoof Repairs
Whether it's a sudden emergency after storm damage or a persistent slow leak, our team responds quickly and gets your roof watertight again. We repair broken, slipped and missing tiles, damaged lead flashings, failed ridge mortar and any other defects on pitched roofs. All repair work is carried out using matching materials to preserve the appearance of your roof, and we always aim to diagnose the root cause rather than applying a temporary fix.
New Roofs & Full Re-Roofs
If your roof is beyond repair or simply reaching the end of its lifespan, a full re-roof is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. We strip back the existing covering, inspect and repair the roof structure where needed, and install a completely new weatherproof system. We work on residential homes, garages, outbuildings and commercial properties across South Manchester and Cheshire, and can advise on the best materials for your budget and property.
Lead Work
Lead is the traditional and most durable material for roof flashings, valleys, parapet walls and chimney details. Our roofers are experienced in all aspects of leadwork — from cutting and dressing new lead to repairing or replacing existing failed sections. We work to BS EN 12588 standards and take pride in producing neat, watertight leadwork that will last for decades. Step flashings, back gutters and soakers are all part of what we do.
Tiling & Natural Slating
We work with all types of concrete and clay roof tiles, as well as reclaimed tiles for older properties where appearance is important. Our team is experienced in natural Welsh slate — one of the finest and longest-lasting roofing materials available — as well as fibre cement alternatives for budget-conscious projects. Whether you need a few tiles replacing or a full new covering, we'll match your existing roof as closely as possible.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Damaged or rotten fascias and soffits allow water and pests to enter your roof space, and blocked or leaking gutters can cause damp and damage to your walls. We replace timber fascias and soffits with low-maintenance uPVC systems in a wide range of colours and profiles, and supply and fit seamless guttering systems including standard half-round, square-line and ogee profiles. All gutterwork is fitted with proper falls to ensure efficient drainage.
Dry Verge Systems
Traditional mortar verges are a common source of roofing problems — the mortar cracks and falls away over time, allowing water and birds to get under the tiles. Dry verge systems are a modern, maintenance-free alternative that mechanically fix to the bargeboard and create a neat, permanent seal without mortar. They're an excellent upgrade for any pitched roof and come in a range of colours to match your tiles.
Roof Ventilation
Adequate roof ventilation is essential to prevent condensation in your roof space, which can cause structural damage, mould growth and insulation failure over time. We install ridge vents, tile vents, soffit vents and underlay vents to ensure your roof space is properly ventilated to current building regulations. We can also carry out a roof space assessment to determine whether your existing ventilation is adequate or needs improving.
Chimney & Ridge Pointing
Failed ridge mortar and chimney pointing are among the most common causes of roof leaks in older UK properties. Over time, the mortar cracks and becomes porous, allowing water to penetrate. We re-bed and re-point ridge tiles, re-point chimney stacks, and carry out full chimney stack repairs including rebuilding where required. We can also fit chimney caps, cowls and lead flashings as part of a comprehensive chimney repair package.
Flat Roofing
Specialist SystemsGRP Fibreglass Roofing
Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is the premium flat roofing solution for modern properties. A seamless, rigid surface is laid on site and finished with a topcoat, creating a watertight membrane with a lifespan of 25 years or more. It's impact-resistant, UV-stable and walkable, making it ideal for flat roofs with roof terraces or regular maintenance access.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber membranes are highly flexible, long-lasting and exceptionally weatherproof. Available in large single-ply sheets that eliminate joins and therefore leak points, EPDM systems are excellent for low-slope and flat roofs and can accommodate movement in the roof deck without cracking. Typical lifespan exceeds 40 years with minimal maintenance.
Torch-on Felt Roofing
Torch-on felt is a tried-and-tested flat roofing system using polymer-modified bitumen membranes applied with a gas torch for a strong, bonded finish. It's a cost-effective solution particularly well-suited to larger flat roof areas such as extensions, garages and commercial roofs. Modern torch-on systems offer significantly improved durability over traditional mineral felt and can last 20 years or more when properly installed.
Roof Carpentry
Structural WorkFlat Warm Deck Construction
A warm deck flat roof places the insulation above the structural deck, eliminating cold bridging and the risk of interstitial condensation. This is the modern standard for flat roof construction and produces a highly energy-efficient, low-maintenance roof structure. We design and build warm deck flat roofs to current building regulations and prepare them for any flat roofing membrane system.
Traditional Pitched Hand-Cut Roofs
Hand-cut roofs are bespoke structures cut and fitted on site by our skilled carpenters to suit the exact dimensions and design of your property. Ideal for complex roof shapes, extensions and projects where off-the-shelf trusses won't work, a hand-cut roof allows complete flexibility over pitch, span and detailing. All timber is graded structural softwood, pressure-treated for longevity.
Roof Trusses
Engineered roof trusses are a fast and cost-effective solution for standard roof spans on new-build and replacement roofs. Manufactured off-site to your specifications, trusses are delivered to site ready to install and can significantly reduce on-site time and labour costs. We supply, crane-in and install roof trusses, and carry out all necessary structural noggings, bracing and restraint strapping to building regulations.
Roofing Questions Answered
How do I know if I need a full re-roof or just repairs?
If your roof is under 15 years old with localised problems, repairs are usually the right call. If it's older with widespread tile or mortar failure, or has had repeated leaks in different areas, a full re-roof is often more cost-effective long-term. We assess every roof honestly and give you a straightforward recommendation.
How long does a full re-roof take?
Most residential re-roofs take 1–3 days depending on the roof size and complexity. We'll confirm the programme when we quote. We work efficiently and aim to leave your property clean and tidy at the end of each day.
What are the most common causes of roof leaks?
The most common causes are failed or missing lead flashings, cracked or slipped tiles, failed ridge mortar, deteriorated chimney pointing, and damaged flat roof membranes. Storm damage is also frequent. We always diagnose the root cause rather than apply a temporary fix.
How often should a roof be inspected?
We recommend a visual inspection every 2–3 years and after any significant storm. Catching problems early — slipped tiles, failed flashings — typically means a cheap repair rather than a costly leak. Contact us to arrange a no-obligation inspection.
How much does a new roof cost in Manchester?
A full re-roof on a typical three-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester or Cheshire ranges from £3,500 to £8,000 depending on roof size, pitch, material chosen and access. Natural Welsh slate costs more than concrete tiles. We provide free, no-obligation written quotes for all re-roofing work — contact us for an accurate price for your property.
