Roofs on the edge of the Pennines
Oldham and Rochdale both climb towards the moors, and the weather shows on the roofs. Rain comes in sideways, wind gets under loose tiles and ridges, and old mortar on chimneys and verges wears away faster than it would further south.
The housing is a mix of stone and brick terraces from the mill era in both town centres, Shaw, Royton, Heywood, Littleborough and Milnrow, interwar and post-war semis in Chadderton, Failsworth, Middleton and Norden, and newer estates on the edges of most towns.
The jobs that come up most
- Storm repairs to lifted tiles, loose ridges and verges. See roof repairs.
- Re-roofs where years of weather have worn out the felt and battens, with dry fixed ridges and verges to stand up to the wind. See new roofs.
- Chimney repairs on old stacks: pointing, flaunching and flashing. See chimney repairs.
- Lead work where roofs meet walls and chimneys. See lead work.
