Roofing for Social Housing

Re-roofing and roof repair programmes, with insulation upgrades built in

We deliver pitched re-roofing, flat roof replacement, roofline renewal and planned roof repairs for councils, housing associations and tier one contractors. Because we're also a retrofit installer, we can upgrade loft and room in roof insulation and fit solar while the scaffold is up, so you pay for one mobilisation instead of three.

What does social housing roofing include?

Our roofing work covers full pitched re-roofs in tile and slate, flat roof replacement, roofline renewal (fascias, soffits, guttering and downpipes), chimney repairs and planned roof repairs across an estate. Every roof starts with a survey. Where the work triggers an insulation upgrade under Part L of the Building Regulations, we install it as part of the same job, along with the roof ventilation it needs.

Why landlords commission roofing works

Councils, housing associations and contractors bring us in when:

Stock condition surveys show roofs reaching the end of their life

Leaks are causing damp and mould that needs fixing at the source

A live re-roofing programme needs extra delivery capacity

Roofing and insulation upgrades need delivering together to cut cost and disruption

Slipped tiles, failed flashings or rotten roofline keep generating repair calls

Why housing providers choose us

Here's what you get when we deliver your roofing programme:

One scaffold for roofing, insulation and solar, not three

Part L insulation upgrades and roof ventilation handled by retrofit specialists

Compliance-led delivery with photos and completion records for every property

One point of contact and resident liaison from survey to handover

Proven on social housing programmes for councils, housing associations and contractors

  • Cavity wall insulation
    After receiving a letter from Northern Retrofit informing me of the government scheme to improve insulation and that it was a free service, I was initially sceptic but decided to look into it further and, after a very pleasant phone conversation, I was assured it was ‘legit’ and went ahead with arranging cavity wall insulation which was carried out efficiently by a couple of very pleasant workers who made sure I had everything in place to keep my property sufficiently insulated also checking whether or not I needed ventilation/extractor fans which they were only too pleased to supply and fit at zero cost to me! Excellent service and I would not hesitate to recommend Northern Retrofit.

  • Room in roof insulation
    From initial contact to completion, the room-in-roof work done by Northern Retrofit on my house was completed to my total satisfaction. The workforce was efficient, friendly, and cooperative throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering similar work. One point to note is that, as with any plastering work, dust can get into the air, so it’s important to adequately cover furniture and belongings beforehand.

Work undertaken was to a high standard. Friendly, reliable and efficient staff who kept us fully informed at all times.

  • Cavity wall insulation
    Free cavity wall insulation and extractor fan in bathroom fitted quickly and professionally. Small leakage of beads in the cellar which they came back and sorted the same day I rang. No complaints whatsoever, rare to get a worthwhile service for free! Thank you

  • Cavity wall extraction
    First class service from Northern Retrofit. We had our old cavity wall insulation taken out, and replaced with new. We were happy from start to finish, and found them to be both friendly and efficient. A special thanks must be given to Lucy in the office, and Kelby and Elliott who carried out the work. We are very happy with the result, it has made the house so much warmer. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What roofing work do you cover?

Pitched re-roofing in tile and slate, flat roof replacement, fascias, soffits, guttering and downpipes, chimney repairs and planned roof repairs. We can also upgrade loft and room in roof insulation and fit solar PV as part of the same job.

Does re-roofing mean upgrading the insulation?

Often, yes. Under Part L of the Building Regulations, renovating more than half of a roof usually means bringing the whole roof's insulation up to current standards, where that's technically and economically feasible. We're an insulation installer as well as a roofer, so we fit the upgrade and the ventilation it needs in the same visit.

Can you combine roofing with solar and other retrofit work?

Yes. Scaffolding is a big part of the cost of any roofing job, so we plan roofing, insulation and solar PV around a single scaffold. That means less disruption for residents and one mobilisation instead of several.

Can residents stay at home during the works?

Yes. Roofing happens outside the home, so residents stay in throughout. Where we need to work in the loft or a room in roof, we protect floors and belongings and keep that part of the job as short as possible.

Do you work for main contractors?

Yes. We work directly for councils and housing associations, and as a roofing delivery partner to tier one contractors, working to your specification, suppliers and reporting.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East and West Midlands, the East of England and Wales, from our head offices in Beverley and Warrington.
