Roofers in Brunshaw
1930s-suburban Burnley estate above Towneley Park — concrete-tile semis with mature gardens and an exposed easterly aspect onto Pendle.
Brunshaw housing stock
Three-bed concrete-tile semis and bay-fronted detached homes built between 1928 and 1936, almost all originally covered in Marley Plain or Redland 49 concrete tiles. A small pocket of post-war non-traditional housing around the Brunshaw Road/Towneley junction has profiled concrete tiles instead.
Common roofing issues in Brunshaw
- Cracked concrete tiles after 80+ years of freeze-thaw — usually individual courses above the bay window
- Failed nibs on Marley Plain tiles — the original nib breaks and the tile slips even though it looks intact from the ground
- Mortar-bedded ridges that have given up — Pennine wind exposure means dry-fix is now the only realistic permanent fix
- Soffit and fascia rot on the original timber that wasn't replaced when uPVC went up in the 1990s
Our approach in Brunshaw
Brunshaw concrete tiles are still made — we carry matched Marley Modern, Marley Plain and Redland 49 stock so single-tile repairs are invisible from the ground. Ridge work is always converted to a dry-fix system in one go because the next storm is going to undo any mortar bedding. We inspect the original timber behind any uPVC fascia upgrade before quoting, because rot underneath is common on Brunshaw 1990s installs.
Recent Brunshaw job
Recent example: re-tiled the front elevation of a Brunshaw Avenue semi — twenty-two slipped Marley Plains replaced with matched stock, full dry-fix ridge conversion, and the original timber fascia stripped back and replaced where it had rotted under the 1995 uPVC capping.
