🏠 Stretford Roof Replacement
What a joy it was to work on this project. Some jobs, when quoting, you really want to make sure you do enough to win — and this was certainly one of them.
A HUGE transformation on this stunning Victorian property in Stretford.
The old concrete tiles had stripped away much of the building’s character, and several roofing elements had failed over time. Our goal was to restore its original character while upgrading performance with modern systems.
✔️ Replaced the roof with reclaimed slates, bringing the character back to life
✔️ IKO collared dry ridge system – retains the traditional look with modern, maintenance-free performance (no pointing required)
✔️ Brand-new timber mouldings to the front elevation after years of water damage caused rot
✔️ New chimney stack using locally sourced traditional brick, finished with two reclaimed Crown Victorian pots in excellent condition
✔️ 3 × Heritage Velux top-hung windows to maximise space and light to the rear room
✔️ All new fascia, ogee guttering and downpipes
✔️ New GRP roof to the front bay window
A fantastic project from start to finish — restoring character while future-proofing the property. 👌
