Roofers in Astley
Astley sits low on the edge of the moss, down by Astley Green and the old colliery with Chat Moss beyond, so the ground stays damp and the north-facing roofs hold moisture and grow moss. We are based a short drive west in Hindley Green and cover the village, from the old cottages and farmhouses along Manchester Road to the newer estates.
Roofing in Astley
Astley sits low on the edge of the moss, and the ground here tells you everything about the roofs. Down by Astley Green and Gin Pit the land is flat and wet, Chat Moss stretches away beyond, and the damp hangs about in a way it never does up on the higher ground nearby. Roofs on this kind of low, still ground do not dry out quickly after rain, so the north-facing slopes stay green with moss, the moisture works in under the tiles, and the older cottage and farmhouse roofs along Manchester Road tend to show it first.
Away from the old cottages the village fills out with newer estates on concrete tile, around Higher Green, Blackmoor and Meanley Road, and the damp low setting works on those roofs too. Moss takes hold on the shaded slopes, gutters clog with what washes down, and lofts on this ground need good ventilation or the damp just sits in them. We are only a short drive away in Hindley Green, so we can get over to Astley, get up for a close look and give you a straight written price.

Astley FAQs
Yes. We are based a short drive west in Hindley Green and Astley is well within our patch, so jobs across M29 get seen quickly. We work right across Wigan and Greater Manchester.
It is the low, damp ground. Astley sits on the edge of the moss, the air stays still and the roofs do not dry out quickly, so the north-facing slopes hold moisture and moss takes hold. Left alone it lifts tiles and blocks gutters, which is where a lot of leaks here begin.
Usually within the week, and sooner for anything urgent. Astley is a short run from our Hindley Green base, so a look and a written quote is easy to arrange.
