Roofers in Boothstown, M28
Boardman Roofing is based in Swinton and covers Boothstown. The village runs along the Bridgewater Canal, with estates of detached and semi detached homes around Vicars Hall Lane, Ellenbrook and Boothsbank, plus older cottages near the water.
Concrete interlocking tile on the Boothstown estates
Most of the estate housing was laid with Marley or Redland interlocking tile that is now thirty five to forty years old. Concrete goes porous with age, the top surface flakes, and the tile starts holding water instead of shedding it. Underneath, the bitumen felt has usually torn where it drapes over the wall plate, so anything blown under the tile lands on the eaves and rots the batten ends. Mortar verges crack, end tiles lift, and the bedded ridge is normally the first thing to fail.
Garage and extension flat roofs from the same era
Almost every house of this age has a flat roof somewhere: a garage, a utility, a rear extension or a porch. They were nearly all built in pour and roll felt with next to no fall, so water sits in the middle, the felt blisters and splits, and the deck below goes soft long before anybody notices a drip. We strip back to the deck, check the timber, correct the fall with firrings, and finish in GRP or EPDM with a proper edge trim.

Canal side cottages, and where the conservation boundary sits
The older stone and brick cottages near the marina and the Bridgewater Way towpath carry slate, and matching it takes reclaimed stock rather than a modern substitute. Worth knowing: there is no designated conservation area at Boothstown itself. The nearest is Worsley Village, so a house on the far side of that boundary is under different rules to its neighbour. Access is the other practicality. The estate closes are tight and block paved, so we agree where the scaffold and the skip stand before the first load arrives.
