Covering Oldham
Oldham is about 6 miles north-east of Manchester. We also cover Chadderton (1 miles to the west), Royton and Middleton.
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?
Re-roofing means stripping a pitched roof back to the rafters and replacing the membrane, battens, tiles or slates, ridge and flashings. It is needed when a roof covering reaches the end of its life, and it is the right time to improve loft insulation.
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- Breathable membrane and new battens
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge
What will re-roofing cost?
Guide prices for re-roofing, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
| Re-roofing | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Terraced house | £6,000 to £10,000 |
| Semi-detached house | £8,000 to £15,000 |
| Detached house | £12,000 to £25,000 |
Do you need permission for re-roofing in Oldham?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England.
What should Oldham homeowners check first?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
