VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Trafford

North and south Trafford

In the north of the borough, Stretford, Old Trafford, Gorse Hill and Urmston are largely made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, many with slate roofs, alongside inter-war suburbs in Davyhulme and Flixton. Trafford Park, one of the earliest planned industrial estates, adds a large commercial roofing workload.

South Trafford was historically part of Cheshire. Sale, Timperley, Altrincham, Hale, Hale Barns and Bowdon include some of the largest period and detached homes in Greater Manchester, with complex roofs, multiple chimneys and many loft and attic conversions. Partington and Carrington, to the west, have post-war housing and newer estates.

Conservation areas

Trafford Council has designated over twenty conservation areas, including Bowdon, Ashley Heath, Hale Station, South Hale, Old Market Place and Goose Green in Altrincham, Ashton upon Mersey, Flixton and Longford. In these areas, changes to roofs visible from a road may need planning permission, and low-profile roof windows and matching roofing materials are often expected.
