VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Openshaw

Homes and roofs in Openshaw

Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs survive in parts of Openshaw, but much of the area was redeveloped, first after the war and again more recently. New-build estates and apartments now sit alongside older streets, along with commercial and industrial buildings near the railway.

Homes and commercial buildings

As well as houses, Openshaw has workshops, small industrial units and commercial buildings, many with flat or profiled metal roofs. We repair these alongside domestic roofs. For homes, the common issues are slate slippage on older properties and ridge and gutter problems on newer estates.

Many of Openshaw's newer homes rely on roof windows to light loft bedrooms and stairwells. As those homes age, servicing the windows and clearing debris from their flashing helps prevent leaks. Where a window has failed, a like-for-like replacement can usually be fitted in the same opening.
