All roofing servicesHomes and roofs in Alkrington
Most of Alkrington's homes are inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses with hipped or gabled tiled roofs, set along curving roads with generous gardens. Many have been extended with loft conversions, dormers and rear extensions. A few older buildings survive near Alkrington Hall.
Garden suburb roofs
Alkrington's inter-war roofs are now approaching their centenary. Original tiles, battens and, sometimes, the absence of underfelt mean that when problems appear in several places, a re-roof is often the best long-term answer. Hip tiles and ridges bedded in mortar are common repairs.
Mature trees in gardens and Alkrington Woods mean gutters and roof window flashings fill with leaves. Sun tunnels are popular for the central landings typical of these homes.

Questions about our work in Alkrington
Do you cover Alkrington and Middleton?
Yes, along with Rhodes and Blackley.
My inter-war roof has no underfelt. Should I re-roof?
Not necessarily. If the tiles are sound and there are no leaks, it may be fine. If problems are widespread, a re-roof with a modern membrane is usually best.
Can hipped roofs take roof windows?
Usually, yes, subject to the rafter layout and headroom.
