Apex Roofing and Guttering Services — roof repairs, re-roofs, chimneys, flat roofs, leadwork and guttering, from a single slipped tile to a full strip and recover.
Eleven things, and we do all of them ourselves. Click any of them for the detail, or send us a message if you are not sure which one you need — half the time people ring about a leak and it turns out to be the gutter.

Ten of our own jobs, written up with the photographs we took while we were on them. There are 27 in total on the projects page, and every photograph is collected by town in the gallery.
Water had been coming through a kitchen ceiling in Sale for some time. The hipped roof over it was stripped to the bare rafters, the timbers looked over, and the whole thing re-covered on new underlay and battens.
A tall Macclesfield stack carrying a bank of clay pots had lost its crown to moss and frost. We took it down, rebuilt it in matching brick, cast a new capping and reset every pot.
A tired Macclesfield roof with slipped tiles and perished felt, taken back to the timbers, re-felted on a breathable membrane, re-battened and topped with a mortar-free dry ridge kit.
Damp patches near a chimney breast in Warrington led us to the stack, where the joints, the lead flashing and the crown were all letting rain in. Each was dealt with and the work water tested.
A detached red-brick bungalow in Warrington taken back to the rafters a section at a time, refelted and re-battened, then covered in new dark concrete tiles with the valley reworked.
The last mortar-bedded part of a Warrington roof taken off and rebuilt as a ventilated dry ridge, with the half-round tiles refixed mechanically between two panelled slopes.
Damp marks on a ceiling in Prestbury traced to cracked and slipped Welsh slates. We took the affected slope back to the timbers, laid new felt and treated battens, and relaid it in matching reclaimed slate.
An old flat roof over a brick outbuilding in Warrington was letting water through in heavy rain. The deck had rotted, so it came off in full and we re-boarded and re-covered the whole roof.
A dark single storey range behind a rendered Macclesfield house took two roof windows. Tiles came off, openings were trimmed and flashed, and the concrete tiles went back around the frames.
Commercial work at St Helens RFC. The parapet wall along the edge of the stand roof was cleaned down and sealed where water had been getting past the coping and causing ongoing damp.
