New Roof Installation in Dukinfield | Complete Re-Roof by AMX Roofing

Professional New Roof Installation in Dukinfield

AMX Roofing recently completed a full new roof installation in Dukinfield, replacing an ageing roof with a modern, high-performance roofing system designed to provide decades of protection against the demanding North West climate.

This project involved a complete strip-off and re-roof using premium materials, improved roof ventilation, a new Velux roof window, modern dry ridge technology and traditional leadwork to create a roof that's as durable as it is visually impressive.

If you're looking for experienced roofers in Dukinfield, this project showcases the quality, workmanship and attention to detail that AMX Roofing brings to every installation.

Safe Preparation Before Roofing Work Began

Every successful roofing project starts with careful planning.

To ensure the work could be completed safely, we erected fixed scaffolding to the front, rear and side elevations, including over the side extension roofs. This gave our team safe access to every part of the property while protecting both our installers and the homeowner.

A large builders' skip was also supplied to safely dispose of all roofing waste, keeping the site clean and organised from start to finish.

Removing the Existing Roof

The existing roof had reached the end of its lifespan and required complete replacement.

Our team carefully stripped the roof back to the rafters, removing:

  • Existing roof tiles

  • Old roofing battens

  • Worn roofing felt

  • Redundant roof components

With the roof fully exposed, we inspected the roof structure before beginning the installation of the new roofing system.

Installing a Modern Ventilated Roofing System

Modern roofing is about much more than simply replacing tiles.

To maximise airflow and reduce the risk of condensation, we installed:

  • New uPVC over-fascia ventilation

  • New uPVC over-fascia support trays

  • Apex Permavent breathable roofing membrane

  • New treated 50mm x 25mm roofing battens

These components create a breathable roofing system that protects both the roof covering and the timber structure beneath.

New Velux Roof Window Installation

As part of the re-roof, we supplied and installed a new 780 x 980 Velux roof window, complete with a genuine Velux flashing kit.

Installing the window during the roofing works ensures a perfect weatherproof seal and allows natural daylight to flood the loft space.

New Grey Concrete Roof Tiles

The property was finished with high-quality grey concrete roof tiles, giving the home a clean, contemporary appearance while offering exceptional durability against the challenging weather conditions experienced across Greater Manchester.

The finished roof significantly enhances the property's kerb appeal while providing long-term performance and protection.

Dry Ridge System Installation

Instead of using traditional mortar bedding, we installed a dry-fix vented ridge system.

This modern system offers several advantages:

  • Improved roof ventilation

  • Mechanically fixed ridge tiles

  • Reduced maintenance

  • Greater resistance to movement during severe weather

  • Compliance with current roofing standards

It provides a stronger, longer-lasting solution than traditional mortar ridges.

New Leadwork to the Chimney

To complete the installation, new Code 4 lead soakers were installed around the chimney stack.

Quality leadwork is essential for preventing water ingress and ensuring long-term reliability around one of the roof's most vulnerable areas.

The Finished Roof

Following completion, the property now benefits from:

  • Complete new roofing system

  • Modern breathable roof construction

  • New grey concrete roof tiles

  • New Velux roof window

  • Dry-fix vented ridge system

  • New Code 4 lead soakers

  • Improved roof ventilation

  • Increased weather protection

  • Outstanding kerb appeal

The transformation has completely modernised the property while ensuring the roof is built to withstand the North West's changing weather for many years to come.

We'll also be releasing a full start-to-finish video reel of this project soon, showing every stage of the installation from strip-off through to the completed roof.
