When a new roof in Prestwich is the right call
There comes a point where patching an old roof stops making sense. If you're facing yet another leak, the felt in the loft is crumbling or the slates are slipping faster than they can be refixed, a new roof in Prestwich may well be the better investment.
We strip the old covering back to the rafters, check and repair the timbers, then lay a new breathable membrane, fresh battens and your choice of slate or tile. Ridges and verges are dry-fixed so there's no mortar to crack and fall out later.
Every re-roof starts with a free survey and a written quote with no hidden fees. We're fully insured with public liability cover and all our work is guaranteed.

What a Prestwich re-roof includes
Strip and inspect
Old slates or tiles, battens and felt removed, with rafters checked and any weak timber repaired.
Membrane and battens
A breathable underlay and new treated battens to give the roof a sound base.
Slate or tile
Natural slate for period homes or quality tiles for later houses, chosen to suit the property.
Dry ridge and verge
Mechanically fixed ridges and verges that won't loosen as mortar ages.
Choosing the right new roof for a Prestwich home
Prestwich's Victorian and Edwardian semis were mostly built with natural slate, and many owners want to keep that look, either by reusing sound slates or by fitting new ones. Inter-war homes and later estates more often have tiles. Where an older house was re-covered in concrete tiles decades ago, it's worth checking that the roof timbers are coping with the extra weight. With so many dormers and extensions locally, a re-roof is also a good moment to sort out tired junctions and lead work.
We replace roofs throughout M25, including Whitefield, Sedgley Park, Kersal and Simister. Prestwich sits roughly 4 miles from our Swan Street office, so getting a roofer out to you is rarely a problem. Check with Bury Council about materials if your property is in a conservation area.
Timescales and guide costs
A typical house re-roof usually takes 2 to 5 days, depending on the size of the roof and the weather. Scaffolding goes up first, and we keep the roof covered overnight so your home stays dry while work is under way.
The cost depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the material you choose, access, and how much timber or chimney work is needed. That's why we quote after a survey rather than guessing over the phone. Your written quote will set out exactly what's included.
New roof questions from Prestwich homeowners
Can you reuse the slates on my old Prestwich semi?
Often, partly. Good-quality slates can be stripped, sorted and relaid, usually on the front of the house where appearance matters most, with new or reclaimed slate making up the shortfall. We'll check how many are sound before quoting.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Replacing a roof like-for-like usually doesn't need permission. Changing the material, height or shape might, and the rules are stricter in conservation areas. If you're unsure, check with Bury Council before work starts. We're happy to talk through what's changing.
What happens to my dormer when the roof is replaced?
We work around it. The new slopes are tied neatly into the dormer, and we'll usually renew the lead flashing and soakers at the same time. If the dormer's own flat roof is tired, we can re-cover it while the scaffolding is up.
Will a new roof make my loft colder or damp?
Not if it's done properly. A breathable membrane and correct ventilation help moisture escape. We check ventilation as part of the job and can fit vents where they're needed.
Can I stay in my house during a re-roof?
Yes, almost everyone does. Expect some noise and dust in the loft. We'll ask you to clear anything valuable from the loft space before we start.
Is it worth replacing gutters and fascias at the same time?
Often, yes. The scaffolding is already in place, and new roofline boards finish the job neatly. We'll look at them during the survey and include them as an option in your quote.
