VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Monton

Homes and roofs in Monton

Monton is largely made up of late Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis with slate roofs, bay windows and decorative details, together with some inter-war semis and later infill. Monton Green and the village centre have a strong period character. Loft conversions with rear dormers or roof windows are common, as are kitchen extensions with roof windows or rooflights.

Period homes and modern living

Many families have opened up the back of their Monton homes with kitchen extensions lit by roof windows, and converted the loft for an extra bedroom. Those additions are now ageing, and we often replace early roof windows, repair the junctions between extensions and the original house, and fix slipped slates on the main roof.

The canal-side trees and gardens mean gutters fill quickly in autumn. Clearing gutters and the flashing around roof windows once a year prevents many problems. Where a period roof is showing widespread slippage, we can price re-slating with reclaimed or new natural slate to keep the character of the street.
