Roof repair in Wythenshawe, from one tile to a whole slope
Wythenshawe was built as a garden city, and a huge share of its homes went up between the 1930s and the 1960s. That means a lot of tiled roofs of a similar age, with similar problems. When you need a roof repair in Wythenshawe, the cause is often the same handful of things: slipped tiles, crumbling ridge mortar, perished felt or a tired flashing.
We fix what's actually wrong. A cracked tile or loose ridge doesn't need a new roof, and we won't suggest one. Where the whole roof is getting near the end, we'll explain that honestly so you can plan.
We've been repairing roofs for more than 20 years. We're fully insured, all work is guaranteed and quotes are free. Emergency repairs start from £350, with prices confirmed before work starts.

Why Wythenshawe roofs need attention now
Wythenshawe's large inter-war and post-war estates were laid out with tiled roofs, many of them hipped. On roofs from the 1930s to the 1960s, the tiles, battens and felt are reaching the end of their life. The signs are familiar: tiles slipping as nails and battens weaken, ridge mortar washing out, and felt in the loft that has gone brittle and torn. A well-targeted repair can buy years, but it pays to know what state the whole roof is in.
We carry out roof repairs across M22 and M23, including Northenden, Baguley, Benchill, Sharston, Peel Hall and Woodhouse Park. Wythenshawe is about 6 miles from our Manchester office on Swan Street, so our Greater Manchester team can usually get to you quickly. We also work in nearby Cheadle, Didsbury and Altrincham.
What happens when you call
Ring 0800 046 1159 and describe the problem. We'll book a visit, inspect the roof and the loft if we can get in, and explain what we find, with photos where they help.
You'll get a written quote before work starts. If water is coming in now, we'll make the roof safe first and return for the full repair.
Wythenshawe roof repair questions
My hipped roof is losing tiles at the corners. Why?
On hipped roofs, the hip tiles along the corners are bedded in mortar that cracks and washes out over time. Once loose, they can slide off in wind. We can rebed them or fit a dry hip system that's mechanically fixed.
Can you find matching tiles for a 1950s roof?
Many older concrete tile profiles are still available, and reclaimed tiles can fill the gaps. If the front slope needs an exact match, we can take matching tiles from a less visible area and use the replacements there.
Is it worth repairing a roof that's 70 or 80 years old?
Often, yes, if the problem is localised. If we see widespread slipping, rotten battens or felt that's falling apart, the roof may be better replaced. We'll show you the evidence and let you decide.
Do you repair roofs for private landlords in Wythenshawe?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents, arranging access with tenants and sending photos of the problem and the completed repair.
Water is coming through around my chimney. Is that the roof or the chimney?
It could be either. The lead flashing where the stack meets the tiles is a frequent cause, but cracked pointing or flaunching can let water down inside the stack. We'll check both and fix the real source.
Is there anything I can do before you arrive?
Move belongings away from the leak, catch drips in a bucket, and keep out of any room where the ceiling is bulging. Please don't climb onto the roof yourself. For emergencies, call 07532 734934.
