All roofing servicesHomes and roofs in East Didsbury
Compared with the Victorian heart of Didsbury, the housing to the east is newer: 1930s semis with hipped tiled roofs, post-war detached houses and later estates. Many have had rear extensions with flat or shallow-pitched roofs, and hipped loft conversions with dormers or roof windows are a common way of adding a bedroom.
Hipped roofs and extensions
Hipped roofs have more ridges and hips than a simple gable, so mortar-bedded hip tiles are a common repair as they age. Where a hip has been converted to a gable for a loft conversion, the junction between old and new roofing needs to be well detailed. Single-storey extensions with flat roofs are also widespread, and many from the 1980s and 1990s are now due for replacement.

Questions about our work in East Didsbury
Can a 1930s hipped roof take roof windows?
Usually, yes. Roof windows can be fitted in the hipped and rear slopes, subject to the rafter layout and headroom. We'll advise on the best positions.
My extension's flat roof is 30 years old. Should I replace it?
If it is leaking in several places or the surface is cracked and blistered, replacement is usually better value than repeated patching. We can inspect it and give you both options.
