VELUX® Windows and Roofing across Cheshire

What we mean by Cheshire

We cover the ceremonial county of Cheshire, made up of four councils: Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Warrington and Halton. Some places that were historically in Cheshire, such as Altrincham, Stockport and Stalybridge, are now part of Greater Manchester. We cover those too, and they appear in our Greater Manchester section.

Cheshire's building traditions

Few counties have such a mix of roofs. Black-and-white timber-framed buildings stand in Chester and Nantwich, and Northwich's town centre was built in timber frame partly so that buildings could be jacked up as salt-mining subsidence moved the ground. Around Macclesfield and Bollington, older buildings may still carry heavy Kerridge stone roofing slabs. Elsewhere, Welsh slate and clay tiles dominate the Victorian and inter-war housing.

Rural Cheshire also has a large number of farmhouses and barn conversions. Roof windows are often the main source of daylight in these buildings, and in conservation areas or on listed buildings, low-profile conservation-style roof windows may be expected.

Homes and businesses

Alongside homeowners, we work with landlords and managing agents across Chester, Warrington and the Halton towns, and with businesses on the many commercial and industrial estates around Warrington, Runcorn, Widnes, Crewe and Ellesmere Port.
