Roofing
Roofs that shrug off a Pennine winter.
Oldham weather is unforgiving — driving rain, freeze-thaw and wind uplift. We build for it: breathable membranes, mechanically fixed slates, properly bedded ridges and code-4 lead where cheaper trades use flashband.

Craft in motion
“We don't cover problems up. We take them back to stone and rebuild properly.”
SK Quality Construction Ltd
Pointing
The joint is the weakest point. We make it the strongest.
Failed pointing lets water into the wall and damp into the room. We rake out by hand, never with an angle grinder scar, then match mortar for colour, strength and profile.
Hand raking
Joints cut back to a sound depth without damaging brick arrises.
Matched mortar
Lime or NHL mixes for period stone; correct sand-cement for modern brick.
Weather-struck finish
Profiled to shed water, brushed off crisp, no smeared faces.
DOFF · ThermaTech
Paint removal without touching the stone.
Superheated low-pressure steam lifts masonry paint, render residue, graffiti, algae and 150 years of soot — no chemicals, no grit blasting, no lost detail. Conservation-safe on listed facades.
- Up to 150°C at the nozzle, low pressure at the surface
- Safe on sandstone, brick, terracotta and lime render
- Kills spores — surfaces stay cleaner for longer
- Fully insured, scaffold or MEWP access

Client words
Reputation earned street by street.
“They stripped our roof, found rotten battens the last firm had covered over, showed me photos and fixed it within the original price. Faultless.”
“The DOFF clean on our sandstone front was unbelievable — it looks like a different house. Neighbours have booked them too.”
“Repointed the whole gable in lime mortar. Tidy, polite lads, dust sheeted everything and the colour match is perfect.”
“Storm took three slates off at 8pm. Made safe the same night, permanent repair two days later. Genuinely reliable.”

FAQ
Straight answers.
A standard two-bed terrace typically lands between £4,500 and £8,000 depending on slate choice, access and whether battens and felt need replacing. You'll get a fixed written figure after the survey.
Yes. DOFF and ThermaTech use low-pressure superheated steam with no chemicals or abrasives, which is why conservation officers routinely accept it on listed and heritage masonry.
For any pitched roof work, yes — it's safer and gives a better finish. Scaffold is included and priced in your quote, never added later.
A typical gable or front elevation takes three to five days. Full houses usually run one to two weeks depending on weather and mortar curing.
Every job carries a written workmanship guarantee — up to 20 years on full re-roofs, 10 years on repointing.
No. You pay on satisfactory completion. Materials for large heritage jobs are the only exception, and that's agreed upfront.
