Maghull’s Post-War Housing — Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference
Maghull’s housing stock is predominantly the product of the post-war building boom — 1950s, 60s and 70s semis and detached properties, with some older stock in the village centre and along the older routes through to Lydiate. The dominant roofing material is concrete interlocking tile, and this is exactly where local knowledge makes a practical difference.
There are several concrete tile profiles that were widely used across Merseyside during the post-war period, and matching replacement tiles to an existing roof is not straightforward if you don’t know the profiles and the suppliers. We carry the most common Maghull profiles on the van and can source anything less standard quickly — which means faster repairs and a finished result that actually matches the surrounding roof rather than standing out as a clearly newer section.
Flat roofs are also very common on this era of housing — rear kitchen extensions, bay window tops, attached garage roofs. Felt flat roofs from the 1970s and 80s are reaching the end of their serviceable lives right across L31, and we replace them regularly with modern GRP fibreglass systems that carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty alongside our own 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Post-war tile matching — why it matters more than you might think
Post-war concrete interlocking tiles came in a range of profiles — different manufacturers, different dimensions, different surface textures, and colours that have shifted significantly as they age. A repair done with the wrong tile profile stands out immediately and never looks right, however good the workmanship.
We hold stock of the tile types most commonly found in Maghull, Lydiate and the surrounding L31 area. This means we can often carry out a repair on the first visit rather than waiting on a supply order, and the result integrates properly with the existing roof.
