VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Irlam

Homes and roofs in Irlam

Irlam's older streets near the town centre have terraced houses with slate roofs, while inter-war and post-war semis with tiled roofs make up much of the rest. New housing has been built on former industrial land, including the old steelworks area, alongside older homes. Many houses have rear extensions and loft conversions.

Exposed to the west

With open mossland and the Ship Canal to the west and south, Irlam is more exposed to the prevailing wind than many parts of Greater Manchester. Wind-driven rain tests ridges, verges and flashings, and loose mortar at gable ends is a common repair. Roof windows on exposed slopes benefit from regular seal and flashing checks.

We can quote for repairs from photos and carry out inspections where needed. If your roof has had repeated repairs, we'll give you an honest view of whether re-roofing would be better value in the long run.
