VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Cheshire West and Chester

City, salt towns and countryside

Chester has some of the country's most important historic buildings, from its Roman walls and medieval Rows to Victorian black-and-white revival buildings, surrounded by suburbs such as Hoole, Handbridge, Upton and Great Boughton. Ellesmere Port and the Wirral side of the authority, including Neston and Parkgate, add industrial towns and seaside villages.

Mid-Cheshire is shaped by salt. Northwich, Winsford and their villages grew around salt making, which caused subsidence that influenced how buildings were constructed. The south of the authority, around Tarporley, Malpas, Tattenhall and Farndon, is rural, with farmhouses, barn conversions and estate villages.

Heritage and protected buildings

With Chester's historic centre and many village conservation areas, a large number of buildings here are listed or protected. Repairs need matching materials, and roof windows on prominent slopes may need permission, with conservation-style designs often preferred. We can advise on suitable options before you apply.
