Why We Focus on Full Replacements
In our years of working across the North West, we’ve seen how “quick fixes” can lead to long-term headaches. A roof is a complex system of ventilation, timber, and waterproofing. When one part fails—like the old bitumen felt perishing—a repair is rarely enough.
By choosing a full roof replacement, you are:
1. Ensuring Total Security: You get an Insurance Backed Guarantee on our work.
2. Saving Money: You stop the endless cycle of paying for scaffolding and small repairs every winter.
3. Boosting Property Value: A certified new roof is a major selling point for any home in Altrincham, Wilmslow, or Didsbury.
The Sure Choice Insurance Backed Guarantee
Trust is the most important part of any roofing project. We want you to feel completely confident when you choose us. That is why every full roof replacement we carry out comes with a comprehensive Insurance Backed Guarantee.
This isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s our promise that the materials used and the craftsmanship applied meet the highest standards. We are a local firm, and we stand by our work. If you have any concerns during that decade, we are just a phone call away. We don’t hide behind small print; we provide honest, expert protection for your home.
Efficiency Without Compromise: The Sure Choice Process
We understand that a roof replacement is a major milestone. You want a result that lasts a lifetime, alongside a quick return to your privacy and a clear driveway.
As specialists in full replacements, we’ve replaced slow construction habits with a refined, high-efficiency workflow. Our disciplined sequence ensures your home returns to normal without compromising on quality.
Our Professional Process:
Logistics: We coordinate scaffolding and deliveries for a prompt start.
Structural Integrity: We strip the old roof, inspect timbers, and install high-grade breathable membranes.
Precision Installation: New laths and your chosen tiles or slates are expertly laid.
Finishing Touches: Leadwork, ridge securing, and a full site clear-up leave only a stunning new roof behind.
The Specialist Difference Unlike general builders juggling multiple jobs, we commit to your project from start to finish. We don’t “gap” our work; once on-site, our team stays there to maintain momentum. You receive our undivided attention until the final inspection is complete and your site is spotless.
These systems mean your new roof won’t just look better; it will be virtually maintenance-free for years to come.
The Technical Reality: What Happens Under the Tiles?
A roof replacement with Sure Choice is about more than just what you see from the street. It’s about the "unseen" engineering that keeps your home dry and warm.
1. The Timber Assessment
Once we strip the old tiles and felt, we get a clear look at your roof’s “skeleton.” In many older Cheshire properties, rafters can show signs of “sagging” or old damp. If we find a timber that isn’t up to scratch, we fix it there and then. We use pressure-treated, blue-graded timber for all our new battens, ensuring they won’t rot or warp.
2. High-Performance Breathable Membranes
Old-fashioned roofing felt was made of bitumen. It was heavy, and it didn’t let air through, which often led to damp loft spaces. We replace this with modern, high-tensile breathable membranes. These act like a “Gore-Tex” jacket for your house—they keep the rain out but let moisture from inside your home escape, preventing mould and wood rot.
3. Dry-Fix Technology
Traditional roofs used mortar (cement) to hold the ridge tiles in place. Over time, the North West weather causes this mortar to crack and fall out. We prefer to use Dry-Ridge and Dry-Verge systems. These use mechanical fixings to keep your tiles secure, even in high winds, and they provide built-in ventilation for your roof space. They look cleaner, last longer, and require zero maintenance.
Matching the Style of Your Local Area
Manchester and Cheshire have a rich variety of architectural styles, and we take pride in ensuring your replacement roof fits in perfectly.
● Victorian & Edwardian Terraces: Common in Sale and Chorlton, these homes look their best with high-quality slate and traditional lead valleys.
● 1930s Semi-Detached Homes: Found all over Stockport and Cheadle, these roofs are often perfect candidates for modern, durable concrete interlocking tiles.
● Luxury Detached Homes: In Prestbury and Alderley Edge, we often recommend premium clay tiles or natural slate to maintain the high-end aesthetic of the neighbourhood.
A Transparent, Professional Experience
We know that the roofing industry doesn’t always have the best
reputation for communication. We are here to change that.
● Fixed-Price Agreement: Once we’ve done our survey, the price we give you is the price you pay. No “hidden extras” for the work we’ve quoted.
● Tidy Site Policy: We treat your home with respect. We arrange for skips to be delivered and removed promptly, and we tidy up the site at the end of every day.
● Friendly Advice: If you have questions about the materials or the process, we are happy to explain things in plain English. No
jargon, just honest answers.
Frequently Asked Questions about Roof Replacement
How much does a roof replacement cost?
The cost depends on the size of your home and the materials you choose. We provide a full, comprehensive quote so you can see exactly where your money is going.
Will a full roof replacement effect the value of my property?
A full roof replacement is a significant investment that should always enhance your property’s future resale value. We make this process effortless for you by ensuring every installation is completed to the highest modern standards. This means you’ll have total peace of mind and zero complications when the time comes to sell your home.
What happens if it rains during the replacement?
This is a common concern in the North West! We never strip more of the roof than we can make watertight in the same day. We use heavy-duty tarpaulins and high-quality underlay to ensure your home stays dry throughout the entire process.
Can I stay in the house while the work is being done?
Yes, absolutely. There will be some noise during the day (mostly hammer
work and the sound of materials being moved), but there is no reason
for you to leave your home. We work efficiently to ensure the most disruptive parts of the job are over quickly.
