VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Blackley

Homes and roofs in Blackley

Much of Blackley is made up of semis and terraces built from the 1920s to the 1950s, with clay or concrete tiled roofs and generous gardens. Older terraces survive near Blackley village, and there are newer homes and estates throughout. Towards Heaton Park, some streets have larger houses.

Inter-war and post-war roofs

Tiled roofs of this age often show the same signs: loose ridges and verges, cracked tiles, sagging gutters and perished underfelt. Flat-roofed extensions and garages added later are also common. We'll give you a clear view of whether targeted repairs or a re-roof makes more sense.

Many Blackley homes have dark central landings and small bathrooms where a sun tunnel can make a real difference. Roof windows are also a popular way to turn loft space into an extra bedroom. Where a home is near Heaton Park, mature trees mean gutters and valleys need clearing more often.
