Trusted Roofing Excellence for the Handforth Community
Handforth is a key residential hub within the SK9 area, popular with families and professionals who value its proximity to both Wilmslow and Manchester. From the established semi-detached homes near Wilmslow Road to the larger detached properties in the quieter suburbs, the local housing stock is entering a critical phase. At Sure Choice Roofing, we have identified that many Handforth roofs, originally installed in the mid-to-late 20th century, are now reaching their natural expiration.
We specialise exclusively in full roof replacements. We have moved away from temporary patch repairs because we believe that Handforth homeowners deserve a permanent solution that stops the cycle of recurring maintenance costs. Our “Strip-to-Rafters” approach ensures that your home is protected by modern materials that meet today’s rigorous weatherproofing standards.
Our Discrete, Tech-Led Exterior Survey Process
We understand that Handforth residents have busy schedules and value a professional, low-impact experience. Our survey process has been engineered to be entirely non-intrusive, requiring no access to the interior of your property.
● Non-Intrusive Surveys: We conduct our technical assessments entirely from the outside. We do not need to enter your home or climb into your loft space, meaning you don’t need to be home for our visit.
● Precision Technical Mapping: Using high-resolution photography and aerial assessments, we identify specific failure points such as cracked tiles, “nail fatigue” in slates, and perishing bitumen felt that leads to internal damp.
● Fixed-Price Agreement: Within 24-48 hours of our inspection, we provide a transparent, fixed-price agreement. This ensures total financial certainty—the price we quote is the final price for a completed, guaranteed project.
Specialist Materials for Handforth’s Architecture
Whether your property is a classic mid-century home or a newer build, we source the premium materials required to ensure maximum durability and aesthetic harmony with the Handforth streetscape.
Modern Interlocking Concrete and Clay Tiles
The majority of Handforth’s suburban homes utilise interlocking tiles. These are highly effective at shedding water but can become porous and brittle over time. We source premium replacements from leading manufacturers that offer superior UV resistance and weatherproofing, ensuring your roof looks pristine for decades.
Natural Slate for Traditional Residences
For the more traditional properties and larger detached villas in the area, natural slate remains a popular choice. We source high-grade Welsh and Spanish Slates, providing a distinctive, prestige finish that enhances the value of your property.
Bespoke Leadwork and Dry-Fix Technology
Many Handforth roofs feature complex junctions around chimneys and valleys. We replace all failing lead with new British Standard lead, hand- ressed for a permanent waterproof seal. Every Sure Choice installation also utilises Dry-Fix ridge and verge systems. These mechanical fixings replace old-fashioned mortar, which is notorious for cracking and falling out during the freeze-thaw cycles of a Cheshire winter.

The Sure Choice Roof Transformation
A roof replacement is a significant project, but it shouldn’t be a months-long ordeal. Because we focus purely on replacements, our teams are highly efficient, typically completing a full re-roof in Handforth within our clients timelines.
Our Comprehensive Installation Process Includes:
1. Full Strip-Back: We remove every old tile and the original perishing felt, stripping the building back to the timber rafters for an exterior structural inspection.
2. Exterior Timber Check: We inspect your roof’s timber skeleton from the outside, reinforcing the structure where decades of moisture ingress may have caused historic rot.
3. High-Performance Breathable Membrane: We install a modern secondary barrier that prevents water ingress while allowing your home to “breath,” reducing the risk of internal damp and timber decay.
4. Weather-Proof Finishing: Using pressure-treated timber battens and precision-laid tiles, we create a watertight seal that stands the test of time.
Protecting Your Property Value in the SK9 Postcode
Handforth properties are high-value assets. In the local property market, a roof that has been patched multiple times or shows clear signs of aging can be a major hurdle during a buyer’s survey.
A Sure Choice Roof, comes with an Insurance Backed Guarantee, which acts as a badge of quality for your home. It provides total confidence for the homeowner and serves as a powerful asset should you ever decide to sell, demonstrating that the property has been maintained to the highest professional standards. Furthermore, our modern roofing systems improve your home’s “thermal envelope,” helping to keep your home warmer and more energy-efficient.
Warning Signs for Handforth Homeowners
Because many Handforth homes are well-maintained, roof failure can be “invisible” until a significant leak occurs. We recommend looking for these indicators from the ground:
● Grit in the Gutters: Finding sandy grit in your gutters means the protective surface of your tiles is eroding and they are becoming porous.
● Slipped or Missing Tiles: A clear sign that the underlying fixings have failed.
● Internal Water Staining: Damp patches on top-floor ceilings or around chimneys are the final warning that your secondary protection (the felt) has failed.
Our non-intrusive survey is the most effective way to identify these issues before they lead to
expensive structural damage to your rafters or interior ceilings.
