Leak, slipped slates or a roof that has seen better days? Our Altrincham roofers come out, show you the problem and give you a fixed written price before any work starts.
Central Altrincham, Bowdon and Hale have a lot of Victorian and Edwardian housing, from terraces near the town centre to large villas in the Bowdon conservation area, mostly roofed in Welsh slate with brick chimneys, lead valleys and bay windows.
Further out, Timperley, Broadheath and Oldfield Brow are mainly interwar and post-war semis and detached houses with concrete or clay tiles, alongside newer homes with dry verges, uPVC roofline and flat-roofed extensions.
We are based at 26a Regent Road, a short walk from Altrincham town centre, so Bowdon, Hale, Timperley, Broadheath and Sale are all a short drive away.
Altrincham has a wide mix of housing, from Victorian slate roofs around the town centre and Bowdon to interwar semis in Timperley and newer homes in Broadheath. These are the roof problems we are asked about most.
Loose and slipped slates on period roofs
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses in central Altrincham, Bowdon and Hale still have their original Welsh slate. As the fixing nails rust, slates slip and let water in, often after a windy spell. See our slate roofing.
Leaking chimneys and worn lead
Older Altrincham homes often have tall brick chimneys with lead flashing that has cracked or lifted over the years. Damp patches on a chimney breast or bedroom ceiling usually start here. See our chimney repairs
and lead flashing repairs.
Cracked ridge and gable mortar
On the interwar and post-war semis in Timperley and Broadheath, mortar on the ridge and gable ends tends to crack and wash out, leaving tiles loose. A dry fix system stops it happening again. See our ridge tile repairs
and dry verge systems.
Leaking bay window roofs
Bay windows are common on period terraces and semis across Altrincham and Hale. Their small slate or lead roofs are easy to overlook until water shows on the window frame or ceiling. See our bay window roof repairs.
Tired flat roofs on extensions and garages
Lots of homes around Timperley, Oldfield Brow and Broadheath have flat-roofed extensions, dormers or garages. Older felt roofs crack and hold water, and we either repair them or replace them with a modern flat roof system. See our flat roofing.
Leaf-filled gutters and rotten roofline
Tree-lined roads in Bowdon, Hale and around the town mean gutters fill with leaves every autumn. Overflowing gutters soak fascias and soffits and lead to damp walls. See our gutter repairs
and gutter cleaning.
No. The inspection and the written quote are free, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.
How soon can you come out?
It depends on the week and the weather. If water is coming in, say so when you call and we will treat it as urgent.
What are your opening hours?
We are open 7 days a week, from 6am to 8pm.
Can you repair it, or will I need a new roof?
Most roofs we look at need a repair, not replacing. We show you photos and explain why we are recommending one or the other.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our roofing work is covered by a workmanship guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How much do roofers in Altrincham charge?
It depends on the job, the roof type and the access needed. We inspect for free and give you a fixed written price, so you know the cost before any work starts.
How long does a roof repair take?
Many repairs, such as replacing slipped slates or resealing a gutter, are done in a day. Chimney work, re-roofing and anything that needs scaffolding takes longer, and we tell you how long when we quote.
Do you work on flat roofs?
Yes. We repair and re-cover felt, rubber and fibreglass flat roofs
on extensions, garages, dormers and bay windows.
Do you cover Hale and Timperley?
Yes. We are based on Regent Road in Altrincham and cover Hale, Hale Barns, Timperley, Bowdon and Broadheath, as well as Sale and the rest of the WA14 and WA15 areas.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover Altrincham, Bowdon, Dunham Massey, Broadheath, Oldfield Brow, Timperley, Hale, Hale Barns, Ashley, Sale, Partington and nearby areas across WA14, WA15 and M33.
