Roof repairs in Withington, done properly the first time
Water through a bedroom ceiling in a shared house is the kind of call that can't wait until next month. Our roof repairs in Withington cover everything from a single slipped slate to storm damage across a whole terrace roof, and we're available 24 hours a day, seven days a week when something needs making safe.
Withington's roofs are mostly Victorian and Edwardian, and a lot of them have been altered over the years. Loft conversions, added dormers and replaced chimneys all create joints where water can find a way in. Finding the real source of a leak, rather than the spot where it shows up, is most of the job.
We've been roofing for over 20 years, carry public liability insurance and guarantee all of our work. Quotes and roof surveys are free, and emergency repairs start from £350, with prices confirmed before work starts.

Why Withington roofs need a little extra care
Much of Withington is made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, and many have been turned into shared houses with dormer conversions on the back. That combination means older natural slate roofs meeting newer flat or felted sections, often with lead work that has been patched more than once. Landlords and tenants mainly want the same thing: a quick, reliable fix that stays fixed, and a clear note of what was done.
We carry out repairs across M20 and the streets around Withington, including Ladybarn, Old Moat, Burnage, Fallowfield and Didsbury. Withington is about 4 miles from our Manchester office on Swan Street, so our Greater Manchester team can usually get to you quickly.
Signs your roof needs repairing
Damp patches on upper ceilings, a musty smell in the loft, daylight showing between slates, or bits of slate or mortar in the garden are all worth acting on. Small faults on old roofs rarely stay small through a Manchester winter, and the repair bill usually grows with the delay.
Call 0800 046 1159 and describe what you've seen. We'll inspect the roof, check inside the loft where we can, and explain the problem in plain terms before giving you a written quote. If water is coming in now, we'll make it safe first.
Roof repair questions from Withington
Can you repair a leak on a rented house while tenants are living there?
Yes. Most repairs are carried out from outside on scaffolding or access equipment, so tenants can carry on as normal. We just need to agree access times, and sometimes a quick look in the loft. Landlords and letting agents in Withington can arrange the visit directly with us, and we'll report back on what we found and what was done.
Why does my dormer keep leaking after it's been patched?
Dormers on older Withington terraces often leak at the joints between the cheeks, the flat top and the main slate roof. Mastic or a quick patch can hide the problem for a while without fixing it. We look at the flashing, the flat roof covering and where the dormer meets the slates, and repair whichever part has actually failed.
Do you match old slates when replacing a few?
We try to. On Victorian roofs in M20 we'll often reuse sound slates removed during the repair, or source reclaimed or new slate that's a close match in size and colour. It keeps the roof looking consistent and helps it shed water the way it was designed to.
Is it worth repairing an old slate roof, or should I replace it?
Often a repair is the right call. Many slate roofs in Withington still have plenty of life if slipped slates, ridges and flashings are put right. If the nails have failed across large areas or the battens are rotten, a re-roof may make more sense. We'll give you an honest view after inspecting it.
Can you give me a written report for my letting agent?
Yes. After an inspection or repair we can explain in writing what we found, what work we carried out and anything we'd recommend keeping an eye on. Many of the houses we work on around Withington and Fallowfield are let, so we're used to providing the details agents and landlords need for their records.
What happens if you find more damage once you start?
We stop and tell you before doing anything extra. Older roofs can hide rotten battens or failed felt beneath sound-looking slates. We'll explain what we've found, show you photos if it helps, and give you a price for the additional work. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement, and there are no hidden fees.
