VELUX® Windows and Roofing in West Didsbury
West Didsbury's mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and converted flats around Burton Road keeps us busy with both roof windows and roofs. Many houses have been extended upwards into the loft, and many still have their original slate roofs.
West Didsbury is mainly covered by the M20 postcode district.

All roofing servicesHomes and roofs in West Didsbury
Long terraces and pairs of semis built around the turn of the twentieth century fill the streets between Palatine Road and Princess Road. Most have natural slate roofs with brick chimney stacks shared between neighbours, and rear outriggers with their own small roofs. A number of the larger houses have been divided into flats, which means several owners or a managing agent may share responsibility for one roof.
Shared roofs and loft conversions
Where a house has been split into flats, roof repairs usually need agreement between the leaseholders or the freeholder. We are used to quoting in a way that can be shared with everyone involved. Rear-dormer and roof window loft conversions are common along the terraces, and the junctions between dormer cheeks, flat roofs and the main slate slope are a frequent source of leaks as they age.

Questions about our work in West Didsbury
Can you quote for a roof shared by several flats?
Yes. We provide a clear written quote that can be shared with all leaseholders or the managing agent, and we can arrange access through whoever manages the building.
Why does my loft conversion leak where the dormer meets the roof?
The flashings and upstands at that junction take a lot of water. When they age or were poorly detailed, leaks follow. We repair or renew the junction rather than patching it with sealant.
