Roofers in Platt Bridge
Platt Bridge sits a couple of miles from our base in Hindley Green, so it is well inside our patch. Most of the village is postwar and ex-council estates and interwar semis, and a lot of those concrete interlocking tile roofs are now reaching the end of their run.
Roofing in Platt Bridge
Platt Bridge grew up as a mining village, but what you mostly see on the rooftops today is postwar and ex-council housing and interwar semis, with a scattering of older terraces among them. A great deal of it was roofed in concrete interlocking tiles, the big pressed tiles that went onto estate housing from the fifties onward, and a lot of those roofs are now reaching the end of their life. The tiles go porous, the surface flakes away, the nibs that hook them over the batten crack, and tiles begin to slip. We are only a couple of miles away in Hindley Green, so we know this stock well.
One thing about the estate streets here is that a whole run of houses often went up at the same time to the same design, so when one roof starts shedding tiles the houses either side are usually the same age and heading the same way. The felt under those tiles is the old bitumen type, and after decades it goes brittle and tears, so wind gets under the tiles and rain finds the gaps. We give cost-conscious advice on all of it: where a repair will see you a few more years, and where the money is better spent doing the whole roof once.
