Roof Repairs in Marple, Stockport

Stockport Council describes Marple District Centre as a historic high street made up of terraced rows, with traditional Victorian architecture alongside later development.

Older housing and roofs relevant to roof repairs in marple, stockport

Terraced rows can share a continuous roof line

On older terraces, gutters and roof slopes may continue across several properties. An overflow or leak can appear away from the blockage or failed detail that started it.

Victorian appearance does not prove the roof is original

A traditional frontage may have been re-roofed with a later material. The repair should be based on the covering and fixing system that are actually on the building, not on its age alone.

Later alterations can create the awkward details

Rear extensions, roof windows and changes of pitch introduce new flashings and junctions. If a leak is confined to one altered area, the main original roof may be perfectly sound.
