All roofing servicesHomes and roofs in Atherton
Atherton has many Victorian terraces with slate roofs around the town centre and the old colliery areas, along with inter-war and post-war semis and newer estates built on former industrial sites. Some larger Victorian houses survive along the main roads.
Terraces and newer estates
On Atherton's terraces, the original slates and fixings are often well over a century old, so slipped slates, chimney flaunching and outrigger roofs are frequent repairs. On newer estates, we see ridge and verge problems and roof windows that need servicing.
Loft conversions are a popular way to add a bedroom in Atherton homes. We can supply and fit roof windows for new conversions, replace older ones and add sun tunnels to brighten dark landings and bathrooms.

Questions about our work in Atherton
Do you cover Atherton and Hindsford?
Yes, along with Tyldesley, Leigh and Westhoughton.
Can a sun tunnel brighten a bathroom?
Yes, if there is a route through the loft.
How do I know if my slate roof needs replacing?
If slates are slipping across the roof every year, re-slating is usually better value than repeated repairs.
Do you repair roofs on newer Atherton estates?
Yes. On newer homes we repair ridges and verges, service roof windows and replace failed seals or glass, as well as fixing older slate roofs.
