Roofing in Northampton
Northampton's Victorian streets were built for the shoe trade — tight terraces in Abington and Semilong roofed in Welsh slate, many with the long back additions typical of the town. Those roofs are into their second century and show it in the usual ways: slipped slates, tired lead, weathered mortar. The county has its own roofing heritage too — Collyweston stone slate comes from Northamptonshire, and ironstone villages ring the town — so period work here deserves materials chosen with some care. At the other end of the scale, Northampton's expansion means thousands of recent new-build roofs, where the common calls are storm-lifted tiles, dry-fix components working loose, and small defects that are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore.
