As the chill of a Bury winter sets in and thoughts turn to home improvements, now’s the perfect time to consider upgrades that boost comfort, value, and energy efficiency. At DAO Roofing & Building Services, we’ve been transforming homes across Bury and the surrounding areas for years – from swift roof repairs in Bury town centre to full loft conversions in Whitefield. With over 100 successful projects under our belts, we’re passionate about delivering high-quality, tailored solutions using premium materials and top-notch safety standards.


In 2025, roofing and building trends are all about sustainability, smart tech, and making the most of your space – especially in our compact Greater Manchester homes. Whether you’re dreaming of a garage conversion to create that much-needed home office or a new orangery to enjoy those rare sunny afternoons, these insights will help you plan ahead. Drawing from our hands-on experience and the latest industry buzz, here’s what Bury homeowners need to know to future-proof their properties.


1. Sustainable Roofing: Green Choices for a Greener Bury

With Bury Council’s push for eco-friendly homes and rising energy costs, sustainable roofing is booming. Think living roofs planted with hardy sedum plants that insulate naturally, or solar-integrated tiles that generate your own power. We’ve seen a 30% uptick in enquiries for these in the last year alone – no surprise when they can slash bills by up to 20%.


Why It Matters for You: In areas like Radcliffe or Ramsbottom, where weather can be unpredictable, these roofs handle the elements whilst supporting local biodiversity. At DAO, we specialise in retrofitting eco-roofs onto existing builds, ensuring minimal disruption.


Pro Tip: Pair it with our window and door upgrades for a full energy-efficient overhaul. Contact us at 07792 003956 for a free consultation – let’s make your Bury home carbon-smart.


2. Loft Conversions: Maximise Space Without the Move

Who needs the hassle of moving house when you can add a bedroom or gym upstairs? Loft conversions remain a top trend, especially with Bury’s average house prices hovering around £250,000. In 2025, we’re seeing more designs with skylights and Velux windows for that airy feel, turning dusty attics into vibrant living spaces.


Bury-Specific Advice: Our local knowledge means we navigate planning permissions smoothly – essential in conservation areas like Elton. We’ve just wrapped a conversion in Bury New Road that added 25% to the property’s value.

3. Smart Home Integrations in Extensions and Conservatories

Gone are the days of basic conservatories; 2025 is about seamless, tech-savvy additions. Imagine a sun room with automated blinds, underfloor heating controlled via app, and integrated lighting that adjusts to the light. For Bury families, this means cosier winters without the draughts that plague traditional builds.


Local Twist: With our unpredictable Lancashire weather, we’re installing more hybrid conservatories that double as all-season rooms. One recent project in Prestwich featured smart glass that tints on command – a game-changer for energy savings.


DAO Difference: We prioritise safety and quality, so every extension comes with our workmanship guarantee. Ready to extend your horizons? Our free initial chat could spark your next project.


4. Durable, Low-Maintenance Materials for Roof Repairs

Bury’s mix of rain, wind, and occasional snow demands tough materials that last. Trends lean towards composite slates and metal roofing that’s lighter yet stronger than ever, with self-cleaning coatings to fend off moss. We’re also loving permeable membranes that let your roof breathe, reducing condensation issues.


Practical for Bury Homes: In older terraces around Bury Market, quick repairs with these materials prevent bigger problems down the line. Our clients in Tottington rave about how they’ve cut maintenance visits by half.


Expert Advice: Spot sagging ridges or missing tiles? Don’t wait – early fixes save thousands. Call DAO for a swift inspection; we’re your local roofing heroes.


5. Garage Conversions: The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Upgrade

With remote work here to stay, garages are evolving into home cinemas, gyms, or even rental annexes. In 2025, expect bi-fold doors for open-plan flow and insulated walls for year-round use – perfect for Bury’s compact plots.


Why Bury Now? Planning rules are easing for non-habitable conversions, making it easier than ever. We’ve transformed a double garage in Unsworth into a stunning office suite, complete with underfloor heating.
