A Streamlined, Non-Intrusive Process
We believe that getting a new roof shouldn’t be a stressful ordeal. Our process is designed to be as efficient as possible. We utilise our experience to carry out our technical survey method, using high-resolution photography and aerial assessments to map out your roof’s requirements. This approach allows us to provide a fixed-price agreement quickly and accurately, allowing you to get on with your day while we handle the technical details.
Why Choose a Tiled Roof Replacement?
1. Exceptional Weather Resistance
Modern roofing tiles are engineered to withstand the worst of the British weather. Whether it’s the driving rain of a Manchester winter or the heat of a summer afternoon, modern interlocking tiles are designed to remain ecure and watertight for ecades.
2. Vast Aesthetic Variety
Tiling offers more design flexibility than almost any other material. You can choose from a huge range of colours—from deep anthracites and slate greys to traditional terracotta reds. With profiles ranging from
flat, modern tiles to classic “S-curves,” we can perfectly match the existing character of your neighbourhood in Altrincham or Didsbury.
3. Cost-Effective Longevity
Tiled roofs offer one of the best returns on investment in the home improvement market. Because the materials are readily available and the installation process is highly efficient, you get a premium, long-lasting roof at a very competitive price point.
Our Tiled Roof Installation PROCESS
We know that once you’ve decided on a new roof, you want it installed correctly and quickly. We have refined our workflow to ensure that most tiled roof replacements are completed within our clients timelines.
● Site Preparation: We manage the scaffolding and material deliveries to ensure everything is ready for a “rapid-start” on day one.
● The Exterior Strip-Back: Our team quickly removes the old, failing tiles and perished felt, disposing of all waste in an eco-friendly manner.
● Structural Check & Membrane: Once stripped, we inspect the rafters from the exterior to ensure they are structurally sound. We then install a high-performance, breathable membrane that keeps the rain out while letting your house breathe.
● Battening & Tiling: We fix pressure-treated timber battens (laths) with laser-straight precision. The new tiles are then laid using modern interlocking techniques that provide a much tighter seal than older roofing methods.
● Final Detailing: We finish the roof with modern dry-fix systems, ensuring your ridges and verges are maintenance-free and secure.
Selecting the Right Tiles for Your Property
During our exterior survey, we can advise on the best materials to suit the pitch of your roof and the style of your home:
Concrete Interlocking Tiles
The most popular choice for homes in Greater Manchester. Concrete tiles are incredibly strong and become even stronger with age. They are available in “Large Format” versions, which allow for a very fast turnaround, making them ideal for our 5–14 day completion goal.
Plain Clay Tiles (Rosemary Tiles)
Often seen on premium homes in Cheshire and the heritage suburbs of Hale and Bowdon. Clay tiles offer a rich, natural colour that never fades. While they take a little more time to lay due to their smaller size, the result is a high-end, classic look that adds significant “kerb appeal” to any property.
Modern Synthetic & Composite Tiles
For those looking for the look of slate but the lightweight benefits of a tile, modern composites are a fantastic option. They are perfect for extensions or properties where weight is a primary consideration.
The Sure Choice Insurance Backed Guarantee
We finish your roof to high standard. We are a local company that stands by every tile we lay. That is why all our full tiled roof replacements come with an Insurance Backed Guarantee.
This covers the integrity of the materials and the quality of our workmanship. If you have any concerns after the job is done, you don’t have to chase a national call centre. You call us directly, and our local team will be there to help. We believe in building relationships with our customers in Manchester and Cheshire based on trust and professional results.
Modern Engineering: The Death of Mortar
One of the biggest improvements in modern tiled roofing is the move away from mortar (cement). On older homes in Sale or Chorlton, you will often see cracked cement on the roof edges and ridges. This is a primary source of leaks.
At Sure Choice Roofing, we use Dry-Fix Technology as standard:
- Dry Ridge Systems: Mechanically fixed ridge tiles that allow for ventilation and won't blow off in a storm.
- Dry Verge Systems: Professional "caps" for the edges of your roof that prevent birds and pests from entering your roof space and stop water from rotting the ends of your timber battens.
These systems mean your new roof won’t just look better; it will be virtually maintenance-free for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I know if my tiles need replacing?
If you are finding “sand” or grit in your gutters (which is the concrete surface of the tile wearing away), or if your tiles are cracked, slipping, or covered in heavy moss, it is likely the protective surface has failed. Our exterior survey will give you a clear, honest answer.
Do I need to do anything inside the house?
Not at all. Because we conduct our surveys and our work entirely from the exterior, you don’t need to clear out your loft or worry about us coming through your home. We work from the scaffolding, keeping the disruption to your private life to an absolute minimum.
Is a tiled roof heavy?
Concrete and clay tiles are heavy, but they are what most UK houses were designed to carry. We check the rafter spacing from the outside during our strip-back to ensure everything is safe and compliant with current standards.
What happens to all the old tiles?
We handle all waste management. We arrange for skips to be placed in the most convenient spot and ensure all old materials are removed and recycled responsibly at the end of the project.
