Crosby’s housing tells the story of a century of Merseyside growth. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Waterloo — many with their original Welsh slate, shared party wall chimneys and period detailing that needs careful handling. The larger properties of Blundellsands, built for a prosperous Edwardian and inter-war middle class, with their more substantial roof structures and original lead work. And the post-war semis and detached houses that fill much of the rest of L23. We’ve worked on all of them across three decades.
Anyone who’s walked near the Iron Men on a February afternoon knows what the seafront exposure means. That proximity to the coast — and the westerly wind that comes off it — accelerates wear on mortar, pointing and flashing across the whole of Crosby in a way that roofs further inland don’t experience. We specify materials with that in mind, and we don’t use standard inland product specs on a Blundellsands property.
We’ve been working across L23 for decades — Crosby village, Waterloo, Blundellsands, Thornton. Every job is done by us directly. No subcontractors, no labour-only gangs. You call us, we survey, we quote, we do the work.
Many of Waterloo’s older terraces still have their original Welsh slate. When slates need replacing, matching the size, thickness and texture of the original stock matters — both visually and structurally. A mismatched repair stands out immediately and can affect water drainage across the roof plane.
We source reclaimed Welsh slate where needed and we know the difference between a roof that can be repaired sympathetically and one where a considered material decision is overdue. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in.

Common questions
What customers say
“Victorian terrace in Waterloo — original Welsh slate roof with a persistent leak that two other experts had failed to fix. Select Roofing traced it to a failed lead valley behind the chimney. Resolved properly first time. Impressed.”
Waterloo, Crosby
“Large Edwardian semi in Blundellsands. We needed the whole roof re-felted and the ridge tiles re-bedded. They were on time, tidy and did exactly what they said they would. The 10-year written guarantee gives real peace of mind.”
Blundellsands, Crosby
“Storm damage overnight — three slates off and water coming in. WhatsApped them a photo at 7am. On site by 10, patched it same day and came back the following week to do the permanent repair. Exactly what you need in that situation.”
