Roofers who know what is over your head
Manchester roofs come in three broad kinds, and each fails in its own way. The Welsh slate roofs on the Victorian terraces of Chorlton, Levenshulme, Withington and Prestwich are now well over a century old; the slate itself is often sound but the iron nails holding it have rusted through, so slates slip one at a time after every gale. The clay and concrete tiled roofs on the 1930s semis of Didsbury, Sale, Cheadle and Heaton Moor suffer from cracked tiles, perished mortar on the ridges and verges, and lead flashings around the chimney that have split with age. And the flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and bay windows across every suburb have felt that has blistered and cracked, usually where water has been standing.
Our roofers repair all three. They also replace guttering and fascias, carry out written surveys for buyers and landlords, and respond around the clock when water is coming through a ceiling. Every job starts with photographs of the problem and a written price, and no job starts with a knock at the door.
Planned work and emergencies from the same team
The emergency roof leak page covers active leaks, storm damage and anything that cannot wait for a dry day, with a roofer on the way within 90 minutes. This page is the calm version. Roof repairs covers slates, tiles, flashings, ridges and chimneys. Flat roofs covers felt, EPDM and GRP on extensions and garages. Guttering and fascias covers the edges of the roof that keep the water away from the walls. And a roof inspection and survey tells you what you have before it becomes an emergency.
Daytime rates and out-of-hours rates are both published on our pricing page. They are different, and we say so. Whatever the hour, the price is confirmed before a roofer is dispatched.
How we quote
Every roofing job, from a single slipped slate to a full flat roof, starts the same way: a roofer goes up, photographs what is there, and gives you a written price for the work described. Access equipment is included in that price rather than added afterwards. We do not price from the pavement, we do not ask for cash, and nobody from this company will ever knock on your door to tell you your roof needs work.
Water finds electrics
A roof leak rarely stops at the ceiling. It runs along joists and finds the nearest light fitting, and a wet light fitting is an electrical problem as well as a roofing one. If a leak has reached a light or a socket, switch that circuit off if you can safely reach the consumer unit and tell us when you call; our own electricians attend alongside the roofer. Our guides on a roof leak in heavy rain and why your electrics keep tripping explain what to look for. Call 07343 065023 and we will send the right people.
