All roofing servicesHomes and roofs in Burnage
Most of Burnage was built between the wars, so hipped and gabled semis with clay or concrete tiled roofs are typical. Burnage Garden Village, built in the early twentieth century on garden suburb lines, has its own cottage-style homes. Post-war and later housing fills in the rest, and rear extensions and loft conversions are common throughout.
Inter-war roofs coming of age
Many inter-war roofs in Burnage still have their original tiles, and some have never had underfelt. When ridges loosen, tiles crack or water starts getting in, it's worth checking the overall condition before committing to piecemeal repairs. Sun tunnels are a popular way to bring light to the central landings typical of these houses.

Questions about our work in Burnage
My 1930s roof has no felt under the tiles. Is that a problem?
Many roofs of that age were built without underfelt. It isn't automatically a problem, but if tiles are failing, a re-roof with a modern breathable membrane is often the best long-term solution.
Can a sun tunnel light a central landing?
Yes. Sun tunnels are well suited to the central landings found in many inter-war semis, as long as there is a route through the loft.
