New Roofs in Runcorn, Halton

What’s the best fit for your property? Many homeowners we speak to in Runcorn aren't sure whether to stick with traditional materials or try something modern. If you’ve got a classic property, natural slate offers a timeless finish that can last a century. For more modern estates, concrete or clay tiles come in a huge range of colours and styles to perfectly match your street. We don’t just slap on new tiles and call it a day, though. We use high-quality breathable membranes to prevent condensation and treated battens that won't rot away. We also specialise in dry ridge and dry verge systems—these are modern, mortar-free ways to secure your roof edges that won’t crack or crumble over time like old-fashioned cement.

Have you got a garage, extension, or dormer with a felt roof that’s seen better days? We’ve all seen those old felt roofs that bubble up and leak after a few years. We do things differently. We specialise in modern flat roofing systems like EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass. These aren't like the old stuff; they're seamless, incredibly durable, and designed to handle the British weather without breaking a sweat. We use solid OSB boards for the decking to ensure everything is sturdy. Whether you’re looking for a flexible rubber finish or a tough-as-nails fibreglass look, we’ll make sure your flat roof is just as reliable as a pitched one.

Wondering what actually happens when we start? We don't believe in making things complicated. It all starts with a proper survey where we look at your roof's structure and timber work. Once we get going, we handle everything. We’ll strip back the old materials, check the rafters, and install the new membrane and battens before the tiles go on. We also take care of the crucial details like lead flashings and soakers around chimneys to ensure no water ingress can sneak in. We’re a tidy bunch, too—we’ll make sure the skip is managed and your driveway isn't left in a mess. Our goal is to get the job done efficiently so you can get back to normal as quickly as possible.

Do you need planning permission for a new roof in Runcorn? Usually, if you’re replacing your roof on a like-for-like basis, you won’t need to chat with Halton Borough Council. However, there are some important Building Regulations to consider, especially 'Part L' which covers thermal insulation. When we replace a roof, we often need to ensure your loft insulation is up to scratch to meet modern energy standards. It’s all about making your home warmer and cheaper to run. If you’re in a conservation area or have a listed building, the rules change slightly, but don't worry—we’ve navigated these local requirements many times and can give you the right advice from the start.
