VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Chorlton
Chorlton-cum-Hardy's Edwardian terraces and semis, independent shops and green spaces make it one of Manchester's most popular neighbourhoods. Loft conversions are everywhere here, and so are slate roofs that have reached a great age.
Chorlton is mainly covered by the M21 postcode district.

All roofing servicesHomes and roofs in Chorlton
Most of Chorlton was built in a burst of house building in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, so red-brick terraces and semis with natural slate roofs, bay windows and decorative ridge tiles are typical. Around Chorlton Green the buildings are older and more varied. Towards Chorlton Park and the Mersey, inter-war semis with tiled roofs take over.
Loft rooms and conservation areas
Many Chorlton families have converted the loft rather than move, so rear dormers and roof windows on the back slope are a familiar sight. The area around Chorlton Green is a conservation area, where roof changes visible from the street need more care. On older terraces, slipping slates and worn lead around chimneys and dormers are the repairs we see most often.

Questions about our work in Chorlton
Is my Chorlton house in a conservation area?
The area around Chorlton Green is a conservation area. Manchester City Council publishes boundary maps, and it's worth checking before changing a roof slope visible from the road.
Can you replace roof windows in a loft room without redecorating?
In most cases a same-size replacement keeps the existing opening and lining, so internal making good is limited. We'll tell you if any plastering is needed.
