How Kirkby Grew: Village, New Town and Industrial Park
In short: Kirkby is largely a post-war town, built from 1950 onwards to rehouse families from Liverpool around a much older village. Much of its housing dates from the 1950s and 1960s, and many of those roofs now need careful assessment.
Liverpool Corporation bought Kirkby from the Earl of Sefton in 1947. Large-scale building began in 1950 at Southdene, followed by Westvale and Northwood, and the first phase of Tower Hill was completed in 1967. Many of the 1960s high-rise flats and maisonettes have since been demolished, and more homes are planned south of Cherryfield Drive. The industrial estate began as a wartime Royal Ordnance Factory and is now Knowsley Industrial Park.
Older Buildings and Kirkby's Conservation Areas
Knowsley Council has designated five conservation areas in Kirkby: Old Hall Lane, Ingoe Lane, Ribblers Lane, North Park Road and South Park Road, with an Article 4 direction adding extra controls at Ingoe Lane. Old Hall Lane centres on St Chad’s Church, built in 1869–71 to designs by Paley and Austin in red sandstone with steep red tiled roofs, among other Victorian sandstone buildings. Anyone owning an older building inside one of these boundaries should speak to Knowsley Council before altering the roof covering or taking down a stack. For worn joints in brick or sandstone, see our pointing service.
Roofs on Kirkby's Post-War Homes
Houses from the 1950s and 1960s tend to show their age in a few predictable places. Chimneys that no longer serve a fire are sometimes left open or with cracked flaunching, letting rain into the stack; a sound stack can be capped with ventilation for the flue. Older concrete tiles can lose their surface and absorb more water, and bitumen underlay can sag between the rafters. Where only one of these is a problem, a targeted roof repair may be enough.
Tenants of Livv Housing Group, formerly Knowsley Housing Trust, should report roof problems to Livv. Owner-occupiers and private landlords can contact us directly.

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![]()

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 Kirkby
Do you repair roofs on units at Knowsley Industrial Park?
Yes. Business units are part of our commercial work, from flat and pitched roof coverings to gutters, outlets and downpipes. Older units may contain asbestos, so the building’s asbestos records should be checked first. See our commercial roofing page.
Do I need Building Regulations approval to re-roof my Kirkby house?
Usually, if you are replacing more than a quarter of the roof covering. That counts as renovating a thermal element, which normally means upgrading the loft insulation where it is technically and economically feasible, with the job notified to Building Control or carried out under a competent person scheme. Our article do I need Building Regulations to replace my roof? explains more.
My flat-roofed porch leaks every winter. Can it be repaired?
Often, yes, if the timber deck is sound and the damage is limited. Where the boards have gone soft or water is getting in at more than one point, a new felt, EPDM or GRP covering is usually better value.
