Roof Repairs on Older Weavers' Cottages in Rochdale
Some older Rochdale houses were built as weavers' cottages with stone walls, long upper windows and stone slate roofs.
The roof and wall need to be looked at together
Damp near the eaves can come from pointing, gutters or the roof covering.
Older stonework dries slowly
After a leak is fixed, thick masonry may stay damp for some time.
Repairs should suit the building
Traditional stone slate, lead and masonry details are easy to damage if modern materials are used without thinking about how the original roof works.
