VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Blackrod
Blackrod sits on high ground between Horwich and Wigan, with views across the Lancashire plain. Its terraces, semis and newer homes are exposed to the weather, and we provide roof repairs and roof windows built to cope.

Homes and roofs in Blackrod
Blackrod has older terraces and cottages in stone and brick with slate roofs around the village centre, along with inter-war and post-war semis and newer estates on the edges. Some farmhouses and older buildings sit on the surrounding land.
High and exposed
Blackrod's hilltop position means homes catch strong winds and driving rain from the west. Verges, ridges, chimney stacks and flashings are frequent repairs, and roof windows on exposed slopes benefit from regular servicing and well-fitted flashing.
Electric and solar roof windows with rain sensors are a practical choice here, closing automatically when the weather turns. Top-hung windows make the most of the long views from loft rooms. We'll explain the options and give a written quote.
