Roofing in Warrington

Warrington sits on the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, midway between Liverpool and Manchester. Its housing is unusually mixed: Victorian terraces near the old centre, extensive 1970s–80s housing from its designation as a New Town in 1968, and modern estates around the edges. In one of the drier, lower-lying parts of the region, Warrington is less weather-battered than the coast or fells, but its large stock of later flat-roofed extensions and estate housing brings its own maintenance patterns.

• New Town & post-war housing (1960s–1980s)

  Extensive housing from Warrington’s New Town expansion, largely roofed in concrete interlocking tiles with many flat-roofed extensions.

• Modern estates

  Later developments around the edges with machine-made tiles and trussed roofs.
