New Roofs in Cleveleys
Cleveleys new roofs are mostly 1930s–1960s semis and bungalows where the original concrete tile has reached the end of life — and where shallow bungalow pitches need careful detailing.
New Roofs for Cleveleys properties
A new roof is a 20–60 year decision, so we treat every replacement as a structural job, not a covering swap. We strip the old roof down, inspect the timbers and battens, repair or upgrade insulation and underlay, then re-cover with the right slate or tile for the building. We carry full scaffolding, dust sheeting and rubbish removal so the property is left tidy at the end of every day.
About Cleveleys
Wyre coastal town — exposed seafront, family streets behind, and a lot of mid-century housing stock.
Housing stock: Heavy mix of 1930s–1960s semis and bungalows with concrete interlocking tile roofs, plus newer estates inland. Bungalows often have shallow-pitch roofs that gather more debris.
Local exposure: Direct Irish Sea exposure on the western fringe — wind uplift on ridges and chimney pointing failure are common after winter storms.
Planning context: Mostly outside conservation control, so practical, durable materials (concrete tile, GRP flat roofing) are usually acceptable provided they match the street.
What we do differently in Cleveleys
- Shallow-pitch bungalow roofs around Anchorsholme need an upgraded underlay lap and dry-verge system — standard mortar bedding is not enough.
- Storm uplift is real on the Wyre coast — every ridge is dry-fixed and verges are clipped, not just bedded.
- Gutter falls on long bungalow runs are re-set during the re-roof — old concrete-tile roofs almost always have a bowed eaves detail we straighten as part of the job.

Frequently asked
- Should I re-roof my Cleveleys bungalow with concrete tile or natural slate?
- For most bungalows we recommend a like-for-like concrete interlocking tile with a dry-verge and dry-ridge system — it suits the shallow pitch, the architecture and the budget. Natural slate is rarely the right call here.
- How long does new roofs typically take?
- 5–10 working days for a typical 3-bed terrace or semi, weather permitting.
