New Roofs in Eccles, Salford

One of the first things you'll probably think about is the look of your home's exterior. In Eccles, we see a lot of classic slate that gives those older properties their unique character. We use high-quality natural or man-made slate that's built to withstand everything the North West weather can throw at it. If you prefer tile roofing, there’s a huge range of clay and concrete options to match your street’s style. We don't just slap them on, either. We use high-performance breathable membranes and treated battens to make sure the structure underneath is just as solid as the finish on top. It’s all about building a system that breathes properly while keeping the damp out for good.

Do you have an extension, a dormer, or a garage with a roof that’s always pooling water? While traditional felt has its place, for a truly "fit and forget" solution, we often recommend GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber. These modern systems are completely seamless, which means there are no joints for water to sneak through over time. We install them over fresh, sturdy OSB boards to give you a solid surface that can easily last 30 years or more. If you're tired of checking the ceiling for damp patches every time it pours in Salford, these modern flat roofs are an absolute game-changer for your property.

We know that having builders at your house can feel like a bit of an upheaval. That’s why we keep our process simple and transparent from the start. It kicks off with a proper survey where we actually get up on the roof to see what's going on—no guesswork or "finger in the air" pricing here. From setting up the scaffolding to the final skip being taken away, we manage the whole lot. We handle the leadwork around your chimney and install dry ridge systems that keep your roof edges secure without the mess and cracking of old-fashioned mortar. You’ll be kept in the loop every step of the way, so you can just sit back and watch the transformation.

A common question we get from Eccles homeowners is whether they need to chat with Salford City Council before starting a re-roofing project. Generally, if you're replacing a roof "like-for-like" in terms of appearance, you won't need full planning permission. However, Building Regulations (Part L) usually apply because of modern insulation requirements. We make sure every new roof we install meets these strict standards, helping your home stay much warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. If you're not sure where your property stands, just give us a shout and we can talk you through the local requirements for the M30 area.
