Victorian and Edwardian Warrington

The terraces of Latchford, Orford and Howley, and the larger villas in Stockton Heath and Grappenhall, date largely from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Most are roofed in natural slate, with tall chimney stacks, lead valleys and, on many houses, cast iron guttering. Age brings rusted slate nails, weathered flashings and chimney pots and flaunching that have taken decades of weather. These roofs reward careful repair, and a well-kept slate roof can stay in service for a long time yet.

New-town estates and newer builds

Warrington's designation as a New Town in 1968 brought large estates to Birchwood, Padgate, Great Sankey and Westbrook over the following decades. These houses mostly have concrete interlocking tiles, mortar-bedded ridges and verges, uPVC gutters and, quite often, a flat-roofed garage or extension. Forty years on, that mortar is cracking, felt flat roofs are reaching the end of their life and original gutters are starting to leak. Dry ridge and dry verge systems and EPDM rubber roofs are well suited to these homes, and newer developments around the town edges tend to need smaller repairs and gutter work.

Weather on the Mersey plain, and getting a quote

Much of Warrington is low and flat, spread along the Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, so wind can build across open ground and catch the most exposed roof slopes. Lifted tiles, loose ridges and downpipes pulled off the wall are typical after a storm.

Questions from Warrington homeowners

Which parts of Warrington do you cover?

We take on work across the Warrington area, including Stockton Heath, Latchford, Grappenhall, Appleton, Great Sankey, Penketh, Westbrook, Birchwood, Padgate and Lymm. If you're not sure whether your street is covered, give us a call and ask.

Do you have reviews from Warrington customers?

Our published reviews so far come from customers around Northwich, where we're based and where much of our work comes from. They're the best guide to how we work: turning up on time, explaining the job clearly and leaving the site tidy. We work the same way wherever the job is.

Can you replace the felt flat roof on a garage or extension in Warrington?

Yes. Many garages and extensions on the Warrington estates still have felt roofs that are cracking or pooling water. We fit EPDM rubber flat roofs, which are usually laid as a single sheet, so there are far fewer seams for water to find.

How far is Warrington from your base?

We're at Mulberry Rise in Northwich, roughly 12 miles south of Warrington town centre via the A49 or A559, so it's well within the area we work in.
