Roofers in Chorlton, M21
Chorlton roofs come in two kinds. There are the late Victorian and Edwardian terraces packed around Beech Road and Chorlton Green, mostly slate front and back with a shared stack every few houses. Then Chorltonville, the garden suburb laid out in 1911 south of Chorlton Brook, where the Arts and Crafts semis have wide overhanging eaves and sweeping tiled hips. Dave has 25 years on the tools.

Party stacks and shared valleys on the Beech Road terraces
The terraces running down towards Chorlton Green share more than a wall. They share chimney stacks, back gutters, and on the through terraces a valley where two rear outriggers meet, which means your leak is often on someone else's side of the boundary. The usual culprit is the lead back gutter behind a party stack: a small piece of lead in a tight spot that collects soot and leaf litter, and once the upstand cracks the water runs down inside the brickwork. What renewing one comes to depends on the length of the gutter, whether the slate either side can be lifted and relaid, and how the back of the terrace is reached. Dave prices it in writing once he has seen it, with no obligation.
Chorltonville, the conservation areas and matching what is there
Chorlton Green became a conservation area in 1970 and Chorltonville followed in 1991, protecting a garden suburb of varied Arts and Crafts semis on tree lined roads. Around St Clement's Church at Edge Lane, and on the wider Edwardian streets such as Brantingham Road and Zetland Road, the roofscape is part of what people pay for. On Chorltonville houses that means clay plain tile with proper bonnet hips rather than a mitred hip and a strip of lead. Slower to lay, and the repair disappears.
Gutters and the trees along Chorlton Brook
The mature limes and sycamores along Chorlton Brook, Hardy Lane and Chorlton Park can fill gutters with leaves and seed. On a terrace, overflowing water can reach the fascia and bottom course of slate. A clear out with a check of the joints is priced on the length of the run and whether the rear is reached off a ladder or wants a tower, and Dave confirms that in writing before he starts.
