VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Broughton, Salford

Homes and roofs in Broughton, Salford

Higher Broughton and the Cliff have substantial Victorian villas, many with complex slate roofs, gables and multiple chimneys, some converted to flats. Lower Broughton, closer to the river, was largely redeveloped with newer housing and apartments. Terraces and semis fill much of the area between.

Large period homes on the hillside

Villas on the Broughton escarpment have steep, complex roofs that take the full force of the weather. Hidden valleys, box gutters and lead around dormers and bays are common sources of leaks that aren't visible from the ground. On period properties, repairs should match the original materials, and it is worth checking with Salford City Council whether your home is in a conservation area.

Many larger houses in Broughton are family homes with loft rooms and attic floors lit by roof windows, and we replace and repair these as well as working on the roofs themselves. In Lower Broughton's newer homes, typical jobs include roof window servicing and flat roof repairs.
