Roofers in Cheetham Hill, M8
Cheetham Hill is two roofing jobs inside one postcode: solid Victorian and Edwardian brick under Welsh slate, and the wholesale district around Bury New Road where the roofs are flat, wide and full of internal gutters. Boardman Roofing is based in Swinton and covers both. Call Dave on 07879 736629 and explain which type of roof needs attention.
Cheetham Hill slate roofs around Halliwell Lane
The streets off Cheetham Hill Road and Halliwell Lane were slated on softwood battens with no underlay at all, so they leak in wind rather than in steady rain. The usual diagnosis is nail sickness: the slate is still hard but the iron nails have corroded, so slates slip a few at a time. One or two can be refixed with a copper tingle. Around Smedley Lane the subdivided houses have extra vents and flues punched through, and most were never leaded properly.
Warehouse and shop roofs off Bury New Road
The wholesale trade around Derby Street and the Strangeways end works out of wide span buildings with asphalt or built up felt, internal box gutters and rooflights gone milky. The failure is nearly always drainage rather than the field of the roof. Gutters and outlets silt up, water backs past the upstand and comes through onto stock. We clear internal box gutters, relay the lead, and fit new outlets. One blocked outlet in a downpour costs more than the repair.

Parapets, secret gutters and what actually leaks
House or warehouse, the short list is the same. Parapet walls with cracked copings and no cavity tray, so rain soaks through brick and shows as a ceiling stain. Secret gutters behind those parapets full of grit and pigeon mess. Valley gutters where the lead has split along a fold or been patched with mastic. Then chimney abutments, where the flashing should be a stepped lead apron chased into the joint rather than a smear of cement. Cement cracks, because brick and lead move at different rates.
