A new roof in Chorlton that still suits the street
When a Victorian or Edwardian roof is past repairing, the goal is a roof that performs like new but still looks right on the street. A new roof in Chorlton from us means stripping the old covering, checking and repairing the timbers, fitting breathable membrane and new battens, then re-slating with matching slate.
Many homeowners plan a re-roof alongside other work, such as a loft conversion or rear extension. Doing them together can save on scaffolding and disruption, and we're happy to talk timings through with you.
With over 20 years' experience, a 4.9 rating from over 350 Google reviews and full insurance, we manage the job from start to finish. Survey and quote are free.

Re-roofing in Chorlton
Chorlton's Edwardian and Victorian terraces and semis largely have slate roofs, many now with dormer loft conversions and rear extensions. A re-roof is a chance to sort out all the joints between old and new parts of the roof. If you're in a conservation area, Manchester City Council may expect like-for-like materials, so check before choosing a different covering.
We replace roofs across M21, including Chorlton Green, Chorlton Park, Whalley Range, Stretford, Didsbury and Firswood. Chorlton sits roughly 3 miles from our Swan Street office, so getting a roofer out to you is rarely a problem.
How long does it take and what affects the cost?
A typical house re-roof usually takes 2 to 5 days depending on its size and the weather. A mid-terrace front and rear slope might be at the quicker end, a large semi with a dormer and bays towards the longer end. We strip in sections so your home stays weathertight.
Cost depends on roof size, slate choice, how many slates can be reused, timber repairs and extras such as chimneys or guttering. We give a clear, written quote after a free survey. Call 0800 046 1159.
Chorlton re-roofing questions
Should I re-roof before or after a loft conversion?
If your roof is near the end of its life, it often makes sense to re-roof at the same time as the conversion. That saves on scaffolding and means everything ties in neatly. We can work alongside your builder to plan the order of work.
Can you keep the original slates?
Where they're sound, yes. We sort them on the ground and reuse the good ones, then make up the shortfall with matching reclaimed or new Welsh slate. Often the original slates go on the front elevation to keep the street look.
Do I need to tell my neighbours?
It's a good idea, especially on a terrace, as scaffolding and party wall junctions may affect them. We'll work carefully at the boundaries and can explain the work if your neighbours have questions.
Will my new roof be warmer?
A breathable membrane and good ventilation help control condensation, and a re-roof is a good time to add or improve loft insulation. We can advise on what will work with your roof and any loft rooms.
What if the timbers are rotten?
We'll show you and explain what needs repairing before going ahead. Most period roofs have sound timbers, but any rotten or damaged rafters, battens or wall plates are replaced so the new roof sits on a solid base.
Can I switch my slate roof to tiles?
It's possible, but on a period terrace it changes the look of the street and may not be acceptable in a conservation area. Most Chorlton homeowners choose slate. We'll talk you through the options and costs.
