VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Egerton

Homes and roofs in Egerton

Egerton's older streets have gritstone cottages and terraces built for the mills, with slate roofs. Victorian villas and later detached homes are found along the main road and the edges of the village, and farmhouses sit on the surrounding hillsides.

A village beneath the moors

Egerton is high and exposed, with the moors rising directly behind it, so rain, wind and occasional snow are frequent. Chimney stacks, verges and flashings take a battering. Stone buildings need repairs with matching slate and suitable mortars, and parts of the village have conservation status.

Loft rooms in Egerton's cottages are often lit by older roof windows that are now draughty or misted. Replacing them with low-profile windows of the same size keeps the character of the roof while improving warmth. Solar windows with rain sensors close automatically when the weather turns.
