Roofers in Heywood, OL10
Heywood roofing is mill town work: tight terraces off Manchester Street and streets around Queen's Park, many already on a later covering. Boardman Roofing covers OL10 for planned reroofing, chimney, gutter, fascia and leadwork booked in advance. Call Dave on 07879 736629.
On a Heywood terrace, your roof does not stop at your gable
Terraced roofs here run as one continuous plane across five, ten, sometimes twenty houses, and that has consequences people do not expect. The party detail at your boundary is shared, the gutter is often a single run with one outlet serving three properties, and a neighbour's stack sitting on the party wall is a leak point neither of you owns outright. When we strip back to your gable we form a proper stop end with lead soakers and a raised verge, so water cannot track sideways under next door's slates. Then we knock on and explain it.
Lime mortar, ridges and repointing that lasts
Much of the ridge and hip work we take off older roofs here was rebedded in strong sand and cement. It looks tidy for five years, cracks away because it will not move with the building, then holds water against the tile instead of shedding it. On solid walled Victorian stock the answer is a lime based mortar or a mechanically fixed dry ridge, depending on exposure, and we tell you which we are proposing. Stacks get raked out and repointed in a correct mix, with fresh flaunching and code four lead dressed into a joint.

Darnhill, Hopwood and the newer estates
Not all of the town is Victorian. Darnhill went up from the late fifties, and there is a good spread of thirties and fifties semis out toward Hopwood and Hopwood Hall College. Those roofs are concrete interlocking tile, and after sixty years the tiles have gone chalky, the nail fixings have failed and the felt beneath has torn over the rafter tops. You can often read it from the pavement: a wave in the courses, moss holding water in the laps, daylight in the loft. A recover on a concrete tile semi is a different job from a stone terrace, with less weight, less lead, and usually fewer days on site.
