Around Northwich
D Osborne Roofing is based at Mulberry Rise in Northwich, CW8, so the villages around the town are our home patch. Most of our reviews come from customers in the CW8 and CW9 postcodes, and much of our work comes through neighbours recommending us to each other.
Hartford has a real spread of housing, from Victorian villas near the station to 1930s semis and later estates. Davenham, to the south of Northwich, mixes period cottages in the village centre with modern estates around it. On the older houses we see slipped slates, worn chimney flaunching and lead flashings that have lifted over time. On the newer homes it is more often cracked ridge mortar, loose verges and leaking plastic gutter joints.
Weaverham is a large village, with older cottages near St Mary's church and extensive estates built in the 1960s and 70s. Barnton sits on the hill above the River Weaver, near the Anderton Boat Lift and the Winnington works, with streets of terraces and semis. The hillside gives some Barnton roofs more exposure to wind than you might expect. Across both villages, ageing mortar, slipped tiles and felt flat roofs on garages and extensions are regular jobs.
Cuddington and Sandiway sit on the edge of Delamere Forest, with a mix of bungalows and larger detached homes. The tree cover is a big part of their appeal, but it drops leaves and needles into gutters and valleys every autumn and keeps north-facing slopes damp enough for moss to build up. Blocked valleys and overflowing gutters can push water back under tiles and into the eaves. Gutter cleaning, gutter guards and moss removal are often the most useful jobs here.
Yes. We're at 17 Mulberry Rise, Northwich, CW8 4UQ, a few minutes from Hartford, Weaverham and Cuddington.
Mainly the trees. Being close to Delamere Forest means leaves, needles and moss end up in gutters and roof valleys every year. Regular gutter cleaning helps, and gutter guards can cut down how often it's needed.
Yes. No job is too small. A single slipped tile or a downpipe that has come away from the wall can let water into the brickwork, so it's worth getting it seen to early.
