Homes and roofs in Astley
Astley has some older cottages and terraces near the village centre and the canal, but most homes are semis, detached houses and bungalows from the mid-twentieth century onwards, along with newer developments. Many have been extended and some have loft conversions.
Open mossland setting
Surrounded by flat mossland, Astley is very open to the wind, and homes take the full force of westerly weather. Verges, ridges and flashings need to be robust, and lightweight fixings can fail. We often recommend dry-fix ridge and verge systems on exposed roofs.
Bungalows in Astley are well suited to loft conversions with roof windows, and solar-powered windows avoid the need for new wiring. We can also replace older roof windows and failed glass units.

Questions about our work in Astley
Do you cover Astley and Astley Green?
Yes, along with Tyldesley, Mosley Common, Boothstown and Leigh.
Is dry-fix better on an exposed roof?
Often, yes. Dry-fix systems are mechanically fixed and don't rely on mortar.
Can solar windows be fitted to a bungalow?
Yes, as new windows or as conversions of suitable existing windows.
Do older cottages near the canal need different repairs?
Older cottages often have slate roofs and brick chimneys that need matching materials. We repair them sympathetically and explain what we find with photos.
