Re-roofing in Merseyside

Covering Merseyside

We cover Merseyside, including Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens and Southport, and the towns around them.

Homes in the North West

The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.

What goes into re-roofing?

We erect scaffolding, strip the old covering, check and repair the timbers, then lay a breathable membrane, new battens and the new covering, with dry-fix ridge and verge systems. Fascias, soffits and guttering can be replaced at the same time.

Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England.
