With November drawing to a close, we thought it would be an opportune time to tell our readers about what has been happening at Manchester Roofing Repairs over the past few months. We have been extremely busy serving our customers across the Manchester region, from commercial roofing replacements to emergency repairs, our team has been on the go. So here are some project highlights from us over the past three months.
Banana Moon Day Nursery Roof Repair
With little time for mishaps, the Banana Moon Day Nursery roof repair has been one of the leading success stories for our Manchester team over the past few months. Managing the roof repair on this wonderful slate roof property certainly was a challenge, especially as the day nursery was open throughout, leading to no down time for the service! To manage the health and safety we set up a segregated site access area to completely separate the works from the users of the nursery. With several leaks, it was our team's responsibility to find and repair the causes of damage, in as little time as possible to minimise disruption for the nursery. With some expert help on hand, our team located the several sources of leaks including the flashing detail around skylights and abutments and numerous areas of damaged tiles. Slate and lead were the only material options for this roof repair, to maintain the wonderful character of the property. With some help from the weather and some weekend working, the team managed to sort the roof in little under a week - a great effort from all involved!

Stockport Roof Replacement
Sometimes nothing more than a complete new roof will suffice and this was certainly the case for a domestic property we worked in Stockport recently. The existing clay tiled roof had not been replaced in over 70 years, so it was well due some attention. The customer explained to our team that they had spent over £3,000 in the last 5 years carrying out patch repairs to the roof, which had not properly worked. With our recommendation the property owner decided to go for a complete new roof to avoid the costly expense of patch repairs and the stress of ongoing leaks. We renewed the roof with a beautiful terracotta Redland Grovebury Concrete Roof Tile. The work lasted just under 2 weeks from start to finish including new UPVC soffits fascias, gutters and downpipes - another quality roof replacement by the Manchester Roofing Repairs team. With our extended workmanship guarantee, the home owner can be confident they won't need to spend any more money on their roof for the foreseeable future.
Wilmslow Emergency Roof Repair
Whilst November has been a relatively dry month, surprising for the time of year, emergency roof repairs can be required at any time. That is exactly what happened on an old Victorian property in Wilmslow. With water poring into the attic room from one of the skylights and rain overflowing from a badly maintained gutter, our team set about resolving issue in quick time. Within a few hours of the call, our emergency response team mobilised on site, set about finding the source of the problems and worked quickly to make the roof weathertight. Needless to say, the property owner was delighted with the outcome and so was our team. It is always a pleasure to help out when needed and with a team stationed around the clock, we are well prepared to manage emergencies!
Other News Events
In March 2024, the new legislation for managing construction works to higher risk buildings came into effect. The legislation places responsibilities on all Construction Design Management (CDM) duty holders to manage works on higher risk buildings and introduces a new application process for getting sign off for works on higher risk buildings. You can read more about the new legislation here and don't forget to check if your property falls under the higher risk category.
