Roofers in Walkden, M28
Boardman Roofing is based in Swinton and covers Walkden. The town centre sits around the Ellesmere Shopping Centre, with housing spreading towards the Wigan road. Much of the local stock is 1950s and 1960s semis and terraces, with later estate builds behind them, so tile rather than slate dominates.

Getting a scaffold up on estate housing
Most of the stock here is two storey semis and short terraces set back from the road, which makes scaffolding straightforward. The tight closes off Bolton Road and around Hill Top are the exception, with no room for a wagon and a tower at once, so we drop materials early and keep your drive clear. Where houses back onto each other near Parr Fold Park and Blackleach Country Park the rear elevation comes through the garden, so we board a route and sheet the borders. Garages and lean to extensions need their own edge protection.

Where concrete tile roofs fail first
The 1950s and 60s stock towards Linnyshaw and the Little Hulton border mostly carries Marley or Redland concrete tile. Ridge and hip mortar goes first, usually on the weather side, and once a ridge tile lifts the felt beneath it tears, so the stain appears mid ceiling rather than at the wall. Verge mortar follows, then tiles start slipping. The newer estate housing off Walkden Road is generally sound, but the flat roofs over the extensions are at the end of their life. We hold common Marley and Redland profiles in stock.
