Merseyside family roofers — Liverpool
Liverpool’s housing stock is one of the most varied in the north of England — Welsh slate terraces in the inner suburbs, large Edwardian semis in Allerton and Woolton, 1930s suburbia in Childwall and West Derby, flat-roofed extensions across the outer estates. Thirty years on the tools across Merseyside means we’ve worked on all of them.

Liverpool’s inner suburbs are dominated by the Victorian and Edwardian terrace — the characteristic two-up two-down with its Welsh slate roof, shared party wall chimney and a construction logic that has served well for over a century, provided the details are maintained. Welsh slate needs careful matching when replacement is required. Party wall chimneys serving multiple properties simultaneously need particular skill and consideration. These are not challenges that resolve themselves with a few years’ experience.
Further out, the picture changes. The large Edwardian and inter-war semis of Allerton, Woolton, Wavertree and West Derby have their own roofing characteristics — often still on original rafter and purlin structures that need proper assessment before any re-roofing decision. The 1930s estates brought concrete and clay interlocking tiles. The 1960s and 70s housing added flat-roofed extensions, porch canopies and garage roofs that are now coming to the end of their original felt life and need replacing with modern systems.
We cover Liverpool as part of our wider Merseyside operation, travelling in from our Formby base. We favour quality of work over volume of jobs, and every Liverpool job is done by us directly, not subcontracted out.
The Welsh slate roofs of Liverpool’s older terraces are genuinely long-lasting when properly maintained — some are still performing after 100 years. But they require a roofer who understands the material. Slate sizes vary between original installations. The fixing methods, the weathering characteristics and the way water moves across a slate roof are different from modern tile systems.
We source reclaimed Welsh slate to match existing roofs where new slate would look wrong. We use traditional lime mortars where appropriate. And we won’t suggest a full re-roof when targeted repairs will do the job properly.

What customers say
“Victorian terrace in Wavertree, original Welsh slate. They matched the replacement slates properly, didn’t try to sell me a full re-roof I didn’t need. Leak resolved, price fair, turned up exactly when they said they would.”
Wavertree, Liverpool
“Detached in Woolton, 1930s build. Needed the ridge tiles re-bedded and several courses of slipped slates sorting. Thorough survey, clear written quote, job done well. Would have no hesitation recommending to anyone in Liverpool.”
Woolton, Liverpool
“Flat roof on a 1970s rear extension — original felt had gone completely. They replaced it with GRP fibreglass, explained why it was the right choice for that roof in plain English. Excellent finish and a 25-year system guarantee as well.”
