Terraced streets, scaffolding and conservation rules
Terraced streets around Patricroft usually need the scaffold set on the pavement under a licence, and the rear elevation is reached through the back alley rather than the garden. We sort that out before the first morning so nobody is boxed in. Many of the older terraces are three storey at the back, which changes the tower height and the price. Ellesmere Park and Monton Green are both conservation areas, so slate type, ridge detail and chimney mortar have to match what is already up there.

What tends to fail first on old slate
The Victorian terraces around Eccles Cross and Patricroft are predominantly Welsh slate, and after a hundred plus years nail sickness sends batches of slates down in the first proper gale. The order is nearly always the same: slipped slates, then a damp patch beside the chimney, then rotten valley boards. That lead has often been patched with silicone or felt instead of being replaced, which never lasts. We strip it back and re-lead in code 4 or 5 dressed into chase cuts.
