VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Bramhall

Homes and roofs in Bramhall

A handful of older cottages and Victorian houses survive near the village and Bramall Park, but most of Bramhall was built from the 1930s onwards: semis, detached houses and bungalows with hipped or gabled clay and concrete tiled roofs. Later decades added more detached homes and small developments. Loft conversions, dormer bungalows, two-storey extensions and vaulted kitchen extensions are everywhere.

Extended homes and bungalow conversions

Bramhall has a large number of bungalows, many of which have been converted to dormer bungalows or had their lofts turned into bedrooms lit by roof windows. On extended homes, the junctions between original roofs and newer extensions, and between tiled slopes and flat-roofed dormers, are where most leaks start as the work ages.

Mature gardens and trees mean gutters, valleys and roof window flashings fill quickly in autumn. Many roofs from the 1930s to the 1960s are also reaching the age where underfelt has perished and ridges need re-bedding or upgrading to a dry ridge system. We'll give you an honest view of what your roof needs.
