Expert Roof Replacement Specialists in Altrincham
Expert New Roof Installations for Altrincham’s Residential Areas. All Work Comes With An Insurance Backed Guarantee.
Trusted Roofing Excellence in Altrincham
Altrincham has established itself as one of the premier residential hubs in the North West. Known for its thriving market town atmosphere and exceptional housing stock, the area demands a roofing service that matches its high standards. From the large Victorian villas near the town centre to the high-end family homes in the surrounding suburbs, Altrincham properties require expert care to maintain their structural integrity and market value.
At Sure Choice Roofing, we specialise exclusively in complete roof replacements. We have moved away from the “patch-and-repair” model because Altrincham homeowners deserve a permanent solution to roofing failure. Our “Strip-to-Rafters” approach ensures that your home is protected by modern materials while retaining the classic aesthetic that makes Altrincham such a desirable place to live.
Our Discrete, Tech-Led Exterior Survey Process
We understand that Altrincham is a professional hub and homeowners value their time and privacy. We have modernised the traditional roofing quote process to be entirely non-intrusive.
● Our Technical Surveys: We conduct our technical surveys 100% from the exterior.
● Precision Assessment: Using high-resolution photography and aerial mapping, we identify specific failure points such as “shaling” slates, perished bitumen felt, or failing leadwork in valleys and chimneys.
● Fixed-Price Agreement: Within 24-48 hours of our assessment, you will receive a transparent, fixed-price agreement. This isn’t a “rough estimate”—it is a guaranteed price for a complete project, ensuring no hidden extras mid-build.
Tailored Roofing for Altrincham’s Heritage Homes
Altrincham’s architecture is defined by its history, featuring a wealth of red-brick Victorian and Edwardian properties. Replacing these roofs requires an understanding of traditional materials and modern engineering.
Natural Slate Specialists
The majority of Altrincham’s period homes were originally roofed in natural slate. After 80 to 100 years, the original nails often perish—a condition known as “nail sickness.” We specialise in full slate replacements using premium Welsh or Spanish Slate, providing a roof that looks original but is secured with modern, rust-proof fixings to last for generations.
Traditional Clay & Rosemary Tiling
For properties in the Altrincham and Timperley borders, clay tiles are a popular choice. We source high-density clay tiles that match the heritage colour palettes of the WA14 area, ensuring your new roof is aesthetically perfect and highly resistant to the North West’s wind and rain.
Bespoke Leadwork & Dry-Fix Systems
Complex rooflines with multiple gables and chimneys are common in Altrincham. We replace all failing lead with new British Standard lead, hand-dressed to ensure a watertight seal. Furthermore, we utilise Dry-Fix ridge systems, which replace old-fashioned mortar (cement) with a mechanical fixing that is maintenance-free and will not crack over time.

The Sure Choice Commitment
We respect the Altrincham community and aim to minimise our “footprint” while on-site. By focusing purely on roof replacements in Altrincham, our teams are highly efficient, typically completing a full re-roof within our customers timelines.
Our Installation Process Includes:
1. Full Strip-Back: We remove every old tile and the original perishing felt, exposing the timber rafters for inspection.
2. Exterior Timber Check: We inspect your roof’s timber skeleton from the outside, reinforcing or replacing any rafters compromised by moisture.
3. Breathable Membrane Installation: We install high-performance, breathable underlays that prevent water ingress while allowing your home to “breathe,” reducing the risk of
internal condensation.
4. Precision Finishing: Every installation is completed with treated timber battens and high-grade materials, ensuring a level and secure finish.
Protecting Your Altrincham Property Investment
Altrincham properties represent significant investments. In a competitive property market, a failing or poorly patched roof can be a major hurdle during a surveyor’s inspection.
A Sure Choice Roof, our insurance backed Guarantee, acts as a badge of quality. It provides total peace of mind for you as a homeowner and serves as a powerful asset if you ever decide to sell, ensuring your property valuation remains high and the sale process remains smooth.
Additionally, our modern roofing systems significantly improve your home’s “thermal envelope,” helping to retain heat and reduce energy costs.
Warning Signs for Altrincham Homeowners
If your property is over 40 years old, it is likely reaching the end of its design life. Keep an eye out for these indicators from the ground:
● Debris in the Gutters: Finding slate chips or tile grit in your gutters means the materials are disintegrating.
● Slipped or Missing Tiles: Indicates that the underlying fixings have failed.
● Damp on Upper Floors: Small patches of damp on ceilings are the final warning that your secondary protection (the felt) has perished.
Our non-intrusive survey is the most effective way to identify these issues before they lead to
expensive structural damage.
