What affects new roof costs in the North West

Tradespeople in the North West typically charge £165 to £220 a day, which is 2% below the UK average and the single biggest reason prices here differ from the national figure.

The Manchester and Liverpool conurbations hold one of the densest concentrations of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing in the country, much of it solid-walled and much of it now privately rented or owner-occupied after clearance and refurbishment. Cheshire and the Fylde are more suburban and more recent. Cumbria is stone and slate, with a high proportion of pre-1919 property.

The wettest English region by a distance. The Lake District records up to 2,000mm a year and the western Pennine slopes are not far behind, against a UK average nearer 1,150mm. That volume of driving rain puts a premium on roofing, guttering and damp work, and it shortens the life of anything installed badly. Solid-wall terraces facing west are particularly prone to penetrating damp.

Planning and building regulations in the North West

The Lake District is a National Park and a World Heritage Site, with tight control over materials and external change. The mill towns and the Liverpool and Manchester cores have extensive conservation areas, and Article 4 directions are common in terraced streets that have been the subject of regeneration schemes.
