New Roofs in Stockport & Greater Manchester

When a roof has had its day, patching it stops being economical. We strip, re-felt, re-batten and re-cover the whole thing — and back it with a 20-year material warranty.

New Roofs across Stockport and Greater Manchester

Most of Stockport's housing stock is Victorian terrace or 1930s semi, which means a lot of roofs are now running on their second covering and their original battens. Once the nails have corroded, the felt has perished or the ridge has started lifting in the wind, you reach a point where each repair only buys another winter. A full replacement stops that cycle for a generation.

We strip the old covering back to the rafters, replace any rotten timber, fit a modern breathable membrane and new treated battens, then re-cover in your choice of concrete tile, clay tile or natural slate. New leadwork, dry ridge and dry verge systems go on as standard, so there's no sand-and-cement mortar to crack and drop out in five years' time.

Because we match materials to the street, a re-roofed 1930s semi in Heaton Moor still looks like a 1930s semi — just a watertight one.

New Roofs work by Moston Roofing in Stockport

What's included in a full re-roof

  • Scaffold designed, erected and inspected for the property
  • Complete strip of the existing covering, felt and battens
  • Rafter inspection and replacement of any rotten timber
  • Breathable membrane and new treated, graded battens
  • Your choice of concrete tile, clay tile or natural slate
  • New lead valleys, soakers, flashings and chimney work
  • Dry ridge and dry verge — mechanically fixed, not mortared
  • New fascias, soffits and guttering while the scaffold is up (optional)
  • Full clear-up, skip removal and a 20-year material warranty

How long does a new roof take?

A typical Stockport semi takes three to five working days once the scaffold is up, and a mid-terrace is often quicker. Large detached properties, natural slate and complex valleys can run to a week or more. We give you a start date and a finish date in the quote, and we don't start a second job until yours is finished.

How much is a new roof in Stockport?
As a guide, a full strip-and-re-tile on a typical Stockport semi runs from around £5,000–£8,000, with mid-terraces often less and large detached or natural-slate roofs more. Scaffold access, chimney work and valley complexity are the big variables. The survey and the quote are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Do I need planning permission?
Yes — you need planning permission if you're changing the roof covering materially, adding roof windows, or you're in a conservation area. If planning permission is needed, we'll flag it and tell you the details before we provide a quote.
Concrete tile or natural slate?
Concrete is cheaper, heavier and lasts around 50 years. Natural slate costs more, weighs less and can last a century. On period properties in the conservation areas around Marple and the Heatons, slate is often the right call aesthetically as well as practically.
