VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Davenport

Homes and roofs in Davenport

Davenport was largely built up in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, with substantial semis and detached houses with slate roofs, bays and decorative ridges, as well as terraces. Inter-war homes and later infill add variety. Many larger houses have attic rooms or loft conversions.

Edwardian roofs reaching their limits

Roofs on Davenport's Edwardian homes are often original or have only been patched over the years. When slates start slipping in several places, or the lead in valleys and around bays has worn, a planned re-slate can be better value than repeated repairs. We'll show you what we find with photos.

Attic rooms in larger homes often have roof windows fitted decades ago. Replacing them with current windows of the same size usually keeps the existing opening and improves warmth and security.
