VELUX® Windows and Roofing in Whalley Range
Whalley Range was laid out in the nineteenth century as one of Manchester's first planned suburbs, and its big Victorian villas still define the area. Many are now flats, and their complex slate roofs need careful, informed repair.
Whalley Range is mainly covered by the M16 postcode district.

All roofing servicesHomes and roofs in Whalley Range
Substantial detached and semi-detached villas with steep slate roofs, gables, turrets and multiple chimney stacks line the main roads. Many have been divided into flats, while others remain large family homes. Between them sit later terraces, inter-war semis and some modern infill, so roof types vary from street to street.
Complex Victorian roofs
A large Victorian villa can have several separate roof slopes, hidden valleys, box gutters behind parapets and lead around every dormer and turret. These details are where most leaks begin, and they're easy to miss from the ground. Parts of Whalley Range lie within a conservation area, so repairs should use materials that match the original.

Questions about our work in Whalley Range
Who is responsible for the roof in a converted Whalley Range house?
Usually the freeholder or the leaseholders collectively, depending on the lease. We can quote and report in a way that is easy to share with everyone involved.
Why is water coming through my ceiling with no visible damage outside?
On large villas, hidden valleys and box gutters behind parapets are common culprits. We inspect these areas rather than just the visible slopes.
