· Absolute Roofing 247
Every roof reaches a point where patching it up stops making sense. If your roof keeps leaking in different places, or it has been repaired again and again, a new roof can be the better long-term answer. Absolute Roofing 247 fits new slate and tiled roofs for homes across Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas.
Signs it might be time for a new roof
A roof repair is usually the first thing to try, and we will always tell you honestly if a repair will do the job. But a new roof is worth thinking about if you notice:
- lots of slipped, cracked or missing tiles or slates across the roof, not just in one spot
- leaks that keep coming back after repairs
- sagging or uneven areas on the roof slope
- daylight or damp showing in the loft
- old patch repairs all over the roof
Older homes in Manchester, Stockport, Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield often have roofs that have been through many wet winters. A free roof check is the easiest way to find out whether you need a repair or a full re-roof.
What a new roof involves
When we fit a new slate or tiled roof, the old covering comes off and the roof is rebuilt from the battens up. That means the whole roof is renewed together, rather than old and new parts sitting side by side. Scaffolding goes up first so the work can be done safely, and the site is kept as tidy as possible while the job is going on.
A new roof is also the right time to sort out the details that often cause leaks, such as the ridge and hip tiles along the top and edges of the roof and the lead flashing around chimneys and walls.
Slate or tiles?
Many homes across Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire have slate roofs, while others have concrete or clay tiles. The right choice depends on your house, what the roof had before and what you like the look of. We can talk you through the options when we come to quote, so you can choose with all the facts in front of you.
