Garage roofs in Rochdale
Rochdale borough takes in stone-built mill terraces in Littleborough and Milnrow, Victorian streets around the town centre, and a great deal of post-war estate housing in Kirkholt, Castleton and Middleton.
The estates are where the garages are. Row after row of single garages from the 1950s and 1960s, many with the original grey sheet roof, are still in daily use.

What is typical here
Heywood and Middleton have industrial estates and workshop units with larger cement sheet roofs. Those are bigger jobs than a domestic garage and are treated differently by contractors.
Pennine weather means a lot of moss. A green, furry roof is hard to inspect, which makes photos from a ladder-free angle and a sample test even more useful.
Typical locally: Typical on single garages around Kirkholt and Castleton.

Rochdale questions
Do you cover Heywood, Middleton and Littleborough?
Yes, across the Rochdale borough. Send your postcode with photos.
I have a workshop unit, not a domestic garage. Is that covered?
Yes. Small commercial units and workshops are quoted as separate jobs because the roof is usually larger. Say so when you enquire.
