Roofers & Home Improvements in Kidsgrove

GD Home Improvements works across Kidsgrove, Butt Lane, Talke, Newchapel and up towards Mow Cop.

Much of the older housing here is terraced and dates from the canal and colliery era, sitting alongside post-war estates and newer developments. The two need different things from a roofer.

Terraced housing

On rows of terraces the problems are rarely in the middle of the roof. They are at the edges and the joins.

  • Shared valleys and party-wall flashings
  • Chimney stacks serving two properties
  • Continuous gutter runs that have sagged out of fall
  • Rear outriggers and lean-to roofs with poor drainage

Later estates and modern homes

On the newer housing we see more flat roofs over extensions and porches, plastic roofline that has become brittle, and original windows and doors reaching the end of their life.

Services available in this area

All seven of our services are available here: roof repairs and re-roofing, flat roofs, windows and doors, soffits, fascias and guttering, conservatories, property maintenance, and painting and decorating.

Roofline and rainwater work

Replacing rotten timber fascias with maintenance-free board, renewing soffits and putting in properly aligned gutters and downpipes is some of the most cost-effective work you can do on an older Kidsgrove property. It protects the brickwork underneath.

Common questions

Which parts of Kidsgrove do you cover?

Kidsgrove itself along with Butt Lane, Talke, Talke Pits, Newchapel and Mow Cop.

Why do terraced roofs leak at the join with next door?

Shared valleys, party parapets and flashings between terraces are common weak points, especially where one side has been re-roofed and the other has not.

Can guttering be replaced on just one side of a terrace?

Usually yes, though where gutters run continuously across several properties we will explain how the run needs handling so the new section drains properly.

Do you fit windows and doors as well as roofing?

Yes — replacement windows, front and back doors, French and patio doors are all part of what we do.
