Why Bolton roofs are heavier work than Salford roofs
Salford is mostly brick with clay or concrete tile. Much of the older stock in BL1 and BL3 is Pennine sandstone under stone slate or heavy Welsh slate, and a stone covering can weigh two or three times a modern interlocking tile per square metre. That load sits on rafters and purlins cut a hundred and fifty years ago, bedded in lime rather than cement. On terraces in Great Lever or Rumworth we regularly find sag along the purlin line, split laths, and a verge cracked away where sand and cement met lime work.
The townships, and what drives a reroof price
BL1 takes in the town centre fringe around Le Mans Crescent, the Chorley New Road conservation area, Halliwell, Astley Bridge and the Smithills edge below Winter Hill, which takes rain off the west for weeks at a stretch. BL2 is Tonge Moor and Breightmet, BL3 Great Lever and Rumworth. A mid terrace recovered in good tile with new membrane, treated battens and fresh leadwork prices on the roof area, the pitch and the scaffold a tight street will take. A semi in natural slate costs more, because there is more covering to strip and relay. Stone slate is dearer again, and sourcing a match is the slow part. Dave sets the figure out in writing after the survey, with no obligation.

Chimneys, flat roofs, gutters and reports
Not everything needs a full reroof. Flat roof replacement on an extension or garage, stripped back to a sound deck and recovered in EPDM, GRP or high performance felt, prices on the deck area and how much soft boarding has to come out. Repointing a stack in a mortar mix that suits the stone rather than a hard cement turns on how far it stands above the ridge, the number of flues and how it is reached. Gutter, fascia and soffit on a semi follows the length of the runs. A written survey with photographs and costed options is paid work, priced on the size of the property and the depth of report wanted. The report is yours to keep.
