Complete Roof Replacement in Sandbach

This 1930s semi-detached property had an aging concrete tile roof with multiple leaks and damaged tiles. The homeowners wanted a complete replacement with modern, long-lasting materials.

The Challenge:

The existing roof had significant water damage to the felt underlayment, and several rafters needed reinforcement. The chimney flashing had also failed, causing damp in the bedroom.

Our Solution:

We stripped the entire roof, replaced damaged timbers, installed breathable membrane, and fitted new Marley Edgemere interlocking tiles. The chimney was repointed and fitted with new lead flashing.

Results:

Complete weatherproofing with 50+ year tile lifespan
Improved loft insulation reducing heating bills
New lead flashing eliminating chimney damp
10-year workmanship guarantee provided

"Upgrade Roofing transformed our leaky old roof into something we're proud of. Professional team, fair price, and the work was completed exactly when promised."

Crewe, CheshireJanuary 2026GRP Fibreglass Flat Roof

Flat Roof Extension in Crewe

A kitchen extension with a failing felt flat roof that had been patched multiple times. Water was pooling and the homeowner was experiencing regular leaks during heavy rain.

The Challenge:

The existing roof had inadequate falls, causing ponding water. The felt had cracked in multiple places and the insulation beneath was saturated.

Our Solution:

We removed the old felt and wet insulation, installed tapered insulation boards to create proper drainage falls, and applied a seamless GRP fibreglass system with a 25-year guarantee.

Results:

No more ponding water with correct drainage falls
Seamless waterproof finish with no joints to fail
Improved thermal insulation
25-year manufacturer guarantee

"After years of patching our leaky flat roof, we finally have a permanent solution. The GRP system looks great and we haven't had a single drop of water since."

Emergency Storm Damage Repair in Middlewich

High winds had lifted a large section of ridge tiles and several roof tiles, leaving the property exposed to the elements. The homeowner called our emergency line at 7am.

The Challenge:

With rain forecast for that afternoon, we needed to make the roof watertight immediately while planning a proper permanent repair.

Our Solution:

Our emergency team arrived within 2 hours, installed temporary weatherproofing, and returned the following week for full repairs including new ridge tiles, replacement slates, and repointing.

Results:

Property protected within 3 hours of call
Full insurance documentation provided
All damaged tiles replaced with matching materials
Ridge tiles re-bedded with modern dry ridge system

"When the storm damaged our roof, Upgrade Roofing were absolute lifesavers. They had us weatherproof before the rain came and handled everything with our insurance."

Chimney Rebuild in Congleton

A Victorian property with a severely deteriorated chimney stack. The mortar had eroded, bricks were spalling, and the chimney was visibly leaning.

The Challenge:

The chimney was structurally compromised and needed to be taken down to roof level and rebuilt. Access was difficult due to the steep roof pitch.

Our Solution:

We erected scaffolding, carefully dismantled the damaged chimney, rebuilt it using reclaimed Victorian bricks to match the property, and installed new lead flashing and a chimney cap.

Results:

Structurally sound chimney matching original character
New lead flashing preventing water ingress
Chimney cap preventing rain and debris entry
Property value protected with sympathetic restoration

"Our Victorian chimney was in a terrible state. Upgrade Roofing sourced matching bricks and rebuilt it beautifully. You'd never know it was new work."

Full Gutter & Fascia Replacement in Alsager

A detached property with original wooden fascias that had rotted, causing the gutters to sag and overflow. Water damage was visible on the exterior walls.

The Challenge:

The wooden fascias had rotted in several places, and the old cast iron gutters were corroded and leaking at every joint.

Our Solution:

We removed all old fascias, soffits, and gutters. Installed new uPVC fascia boards, ventilated soffits, and a complete new gutter system with larger capacity downpipes.

Results:

Maintenance-free uPVC system
Improved water drainage capacity
Clean, fresh appearance to roofline
No more water staining on walls

"The difference is incredible. Our house looks so much better with the new white fascias and gutters, and we'll never have to paint them again!"

Velux Skylight Installation in Nantwich

A loft conversion bedroom that was dark and felt cramped. The homeowners wanted to add natural light without compromising the roof structure.

The Challenge:

Installing a skylight in an existing roof requires careful cutting of rafters and proper weatherproofing to prevent future leaks.

Our Solution:

We installed a Velux centre-pivot roof window with electric opening and rain sensor. The opening was carefully framed, insulated, and finished with internal plasterboard reveals.

Results:

Dramatically brighter loft bedroom
Improved ventilation with electric opening
Rain sensor for worry-free ventilation
Professional internal finishing included

"Our loft bedroom has been transformed! It's so much brighter and the electric skylight is brilliant for ventilation. Wish we'd done it years ago."
