Covering Whitefield
Whitefield sits 5 miles north-west of Manchester, with Radcliffe 1 miles to the north-west and Prestwich 1 miles to the south-east.
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.
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- Breathable membrane and new battens

Do you need permission for re-roofing in Whitefield?
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 can change the price or programme?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
Your questions answered
Does re-roofing need building regulations?
In England and Wales, replacing a large part of the roof covering normally needs building control approval or a registered competent person, and insulation upgraded where practical.
Should I replace the fascias at the same time?
Usually yes, because the scaffolding is already up.
