Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Atherton
Being just a short drive east in Hindley Green means that when a storm gets into a roof in Atherton, we are usually a matter of minutes away rather than an hour. On the long terraced slopes the wind gets under a lifted slate and can strip a run in one gust, or lift a length of ridge, and that is when the calls come in about water suddenly coming through a ceiling. The first job every time is to make the roof safe and get it watertight.
We cover Atherton and the surrounding area: Chowbent, Bag Lane, Market Street, Hindsford, Howe Bridge and beyond (M46).

What’s Included
We get to you as quick as we can, stop the water coming in and sheet up whatever needs covering, then come back for the repair itself once the weather has passed and the slope is safe to work on. If you are putting it through insurance we photograph the damage and write up what we find, so you have that side of it covered without another thing to sort at a bad moment.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Atherton, FAQs
Usually very quickly, because we are only a short drive east in Hindley Green. For a genuine emergency in Atherton or the M46 streets nearby we make getting you safe and watertight the first priority, then sort the full repair from there.
Whatever the weather and the roof will let us. The sensible first move is often to make it safe and watertight, then come back and do the repair once it is dry, so it lasts instead of being rushed through in the wet.
Put a container under the drip, move anything valuable, and if the ceiling is bulging, pierce the bulge with a screwdriver over a bucket so the water drains before the plasterboard collapses. Turn off electrics in that room if water is anywhere near a fitting. Then call us and we will get to you as fast as we can.
It depends where you are and what else the storm has done, but for genuine emergencies around Hindley Green, Wigan and Bolton we are often out the same day. We will give you an accurate time on the phone rather than promising the moon, and we turn up when we say, which is a big part of why R+R Roofing has 120+ Google reviews.
Small faults, a slipped tile, a lifted flashing, often get fixed on the first visit. Bigger damage gets made safe and watertight first, then put right once you have a written price. Either way the roof is not left letting water in.
