Crosby's Neighbourhoods and Their Roofs
Crosby grew as a chain of settlements along the Liverpool to Southport railway, so roofs vary a great deal from one district to the next:
- Blundellsands was planned in the nineteenth century as a suburb of large detached villas around the Key Park, many in Victorian Gothic style with steeply pitched slate roofs, ornate gables and tall chimneys.
- Moor Park, developed from the late 1890s, has individually designed houses with a strong Arts and Crafts influence, including tile hanging and decorative timbering.
- Little Crosby is an old estate village of brick and sandstone cottages and farm buildings.
- Great Crosby’s suburbs are mostly pre-war semis with curved bays and tiled roofs, plus post-war estates that include 1970s dormer bungalows.
Conservation Area Rules That Affect Your Roof
Crosby has four conservation areas: Blundellsands Park, Moor Park, Little Crosby and Crosby Hall. New dormers need planning permission in each, and Moor Park has had an Article 4 direction since 2010, so most alterations facing a road or open space need consent there. Sefton Council’s guidance also includes details that are easy to miss:
- porch and portico roofs should not be covered in mineral felt
- original gutters and downpipes should be replaced in cast iron of the same pattern, or cast aluminium if cast iron cannot be found
- in Moor Park, tile hanging and decorative timbering should be kept and repaired in their original form

Just had my Velux loft window replaced. Fantastic job done to a very high standard by John and his team. Cleaned up as well before leaving. Simple process from start to finish with Carla coordinating everything. Would highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

I had an issue with my flashing so had six roofers out to quote... John was the only one of the six who seemed genuine and trustworthy. This turned out to be the case... he did the work for a fair price, gave a proper invoice with breakdown of work, communicated well and left it all tidy. One of the firms who quoted said we needed a new roof (we didn't). It's so important to get several quotes and trust your gut. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend John and his team. They carried out work on my roof and guttering in a quick and efficient manner. John was happy to answer all my questions and queries, explaining everything to me in a straightforward and friendly manner.Posted on Google![]()

John and his team completed some repairs to our roof today. I completely recommend them. Friendly, tidy, professional and the job was completed to a very high standard. John is super knowledgable and put our mind at ease about the overall condition of our roof too. We’ll be using them when we need work like this in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Robert HodgkissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Roofer and Builder have just completed gutter and rain pipe replacement around our whole house. They were a delight to deal with - friendly, helpful and very efficient. The work was done by a team of five in a single day and was to a high standard. They cleaned up carefully on completing the work. Maybe not the cheapest but probably the best.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot recommend John and his team enough. I had water leaking through my ceiling after a storm (3 days before Christmas!). John and his team were able to attend the same day. John was very knowledgable, assessed and explained the damage with photographs, and gave me repair options on other problems that were found. The team completed all the work the same day and really went above and beyond to do a great job rather than just a patch up. They've saved me a lot of stress and were pleasant and professional to deal with throughout. I will be contacting John again for future work.Posted on Google![]()

I can't praise this roofer enough! From start to finish, their service was outstanding. Trustworthy, honest, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable, they went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right. Their helpful attitude and commitment to excellence make them the go-to choice for any roofing needs. I wholeheartedly recommend this roofer for their exceptional work and integrity.Posted on Google![]()
Barbara FordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We had a problem that had been going on for years with various people trying to repair it and failing. Last December John came and repaired the roof. The materials used were 1st class, I have photos of every stage of the operation and after rain of biblical proportions I can now safely say that the roof is sound and my house is drying out. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anybody. Thank you
FAQs
Roofing Questions from Crosby
Can I swap the slates on my Blundellsands villa for concrete tiles?
Not without checking first. In Blundellsands Park, Sefton Council expects a like-for-like covering, so natural slate is normally the answer, and sound slates from the old roof can often be reused. Our slate roofing page explains more.
How exposed are Crosby roofs to the weather?
Very, close to the shore. Storms in the 1920s and 1930s claimed houses on the seaward side of Burbo Bank Road North, and the present sea wall dates from the 1960s. Wind is the main threat now, so after a gale check from the ground for slipped slates, lifted lead or leaning pots. See our storm damage repairs.
Can you match tile hanging on a Moor Park house?
In most cases. Hung tiles on walls and gables can be refixed, and broken or missing ones replaced with reclaimed or new tiles of a similar size, colour and profile. We will tell you if anything needs Sefton’s approval first.
Do you cover Thornton, Hightown and Little Crosby?
Yes. As well as Great Crosby and Blundellsands, we cover Little Crosby, Thornton, Hightown, Brighton-le-Sands and neighbouring Waterloo. Our base in Maghull lies a few miles to the east.
