Crewe roofers, trusted on every street.

Crewe occupies CW1 and CW2 in the southern half of Cheshire, and the town's identity was shaped almost entirely by the railway works. The rail-town growth of the mid-to-late Victorian period produced dense terrace streets around Victoria Avenue, Nantwich Road and the residential grid between the station and Queens Park. That Victorian stock is what most of the repair work in Crewe comes from.

Crewe terrace is overwhelmingly clay tile: plain clay tile and clay pantile on the older streets, with some Welsh slate on the more substantial three-bedroom terraces toward West Street and the better-off streets near the park. The clay tile is ageing well in most cases, but the ridge mortar and the lead at chimney abutments on party-wall stacks has long since reached the point where patch-pointing is no longer a sensible approach. We recommend a full ridge strip-and-re-bed on any Crewe terrace that has not had the work in the last twenty years.

The outer residential areas of CW2 toward Wistaston and Shavington are a different proposition: 1960s, 1970s and 1980s semi-detached on concrete interlocking tile, the same end-of-life pattern we see across Cheshire East. Marley Edgemere is the standard replacement specification, and we carry enough stock to start within the week on a straightforward semi reroof.
