VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Northwich
Northwich, at the meeting of the Weaver and the Dane, grew on salt, and its town centre is full of black-and-white timber-framed buildings built so they could be jacked up as subsidence moved the ground. We repair roofs and install roof windows across Northwich and its villages.
Northwich is mainly covered by the CW8 and CW9 postcode districts.

All roofing servicesHomes and roofs in Northwich
Northwich town centre has distinctive timber-framed buildings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Victorian terraces with slate roofs fill the older streets in Castle, Witton and Leftwich, and inter-war, post-war and large modern estates surround the town, including Kingsmead and Winnington. Nearby, the Anderton Boat Lift links the Weaver Navigation and the Trent and Mersey Canal.
Salt, subsidence and timber frames
Salt extraction caused serious subsidence in Northwich in the past, which is why so many town centre buildings were timber-framed. If you notice new cracking or distortion around a roof or chimney on an older building, it's worth having it checked. The town centre is a conservation area, so repairs there should use matching materials.
On newer estates, roof window servicing, ridge and verge repairs and flat roofs on garages are common. On Victorian terraces, slipped slates and chimney work dominate. We give clear written quotes and photograph what we find.
