At Manchester Roofs, we provide professional extension roofing in Manchester for homeowners, builders and property developers. Whether you are constructing a new extension, replacing an ageing extension roof or repairing an existing roofing system, our experienced team can provide a suitable solution.
An extension roof needs to integrate correctly with the existing property while providing reliable protection against rain, wind and changing weather conditions. Careful detailing around walls, roof junctions and drainage points is particularly important to achieving a long-lasting result.
New Roofs for Home Extensions
Manchester Roofs can install complete roofing systems for new home extensions, including both pitched and flat roof designs.
Depending on the design of the extension, the roofing work may include:
- Roof membrane – Installed to provide additional protection beneath the finished roof covering.
- Timber battens or roof decking – Prepared and installed to suit the chosen roofing system.
- Roof tiles or slate – Used on pitched extension roofs to complement the existing property.
- Flat roofing systems – Including GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt roofing where appropriate.
- Leadwork and flashing – Installed where the extension roof meets the existing building.
- Roof edges and drainage – Carefully detailed to help direct rainwater away from the roof.
Our team can work with the design and requirements of your extension to create a roofing system that is both practical and visually suitable for the property.
Pitched Roofing for Extensions
A pitched roof can be an excellent choice for a home extension, particularly where the new roof is intended to match the style of the main property.
Pitched extension roofs can be finished using a variety of materials, including roof tiles and slate.
The correct roof pitch, covering and detailing will depend on the design of the extension, the existing property and the roofing materials being used.
Flat Roofing for Extensions
Flat roofs are also widely used on extensions, especially where available height is restricted or a modern roof design is preferred.
Manchester Roofs installs a range of flat roofing systems, including:
- GRP fibreglass roofing – A seamless and durable flat roofing system.
- EPDM rubber roofing – A flexible membrane system suitable for many flat roof applications.
- Felt roofing – A proven flat roofing solution for extensions and other structures.
We can advise on the most suitable flat roofing system based on the size, shape and design of the extension.
Replacing an Existing Extension Roof
Older extension roofs can eventually begin to suffer from leaks, deterioration or repeated maintenance problems. In some cases, repairing individual defects may be sufficient, while more widespread deterioration may make complete roof replacement a better long-term option.
Replacing an existing extension roof may involve removing the old roof covering, inspecting the underlying structure and installing a new roofing system with updated membrane, decking, battens or roof covering where required.
Where a complete replacement is necessary, our re-roofing services can provide a comprehensive solution.
Extension Roof Repairs
Not every extension roof needs replacing. Localised defects can often be resolved with professional roof repairs.
Common extension roof problems include:
- Leaks where the extension meets the main building
- Damaged or missing roof tiles
- Failed lead flashing
- Cracked or damaged flat roofing membranes
- Problems around roof edges and trims
- Blocked or defective drainage
- Storm and wind damage
Our roofers can inspect the affected area, identify the likely cause of the problem and recommend an appropriate repair.
Leadwork & Roof Junctions
One of the most important parts of an extension roof is the point where the new roofing system meets the existing building.
Correctly installed flashing and leadwork help prevent rainwater from entering at these vulnerable junctions. Particular attention may be required around adjoining walls, chimneys, valleys and changes in roof level.
Careful detailing in these areas helps ensure the new extension roof works effectively as part of the overall roofing system.
Roofing for Rear, Side & Single-Storey Extensions
Manchester Roofs can provide roofing solutions for a wide range of extension designs, including:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Single-storey extensions
- Kitchen extensions
- Utility room extensions
- Garage conversions and extended garage roofs
- Property renovation projects
Each project is assessed individually so the roofing system can be tailored to the structure, design and requirements of the property.
