Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Bickershaw

Because it is only a mile or two down the road from us in Hindley Green, we can usually be there quickly when a roof lets go, and the first job is always to get you safe and watertight.

What’s Included
We stop the water getting in, sheet up anything that needs covering and make the roof safe, then come back to finish the repair once the weather has passed and it can be done in the dry rather than rushed. If you are putting it through your insurance, we will photograph the damage and give you a written description for the claim, which takes one more worry off your hands at a bad moment.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Bickershaw, FAQs
Usually very quickly, because we are only a mile or two north in Hindley Green. For a genuine emergency around Bickershaw Lane we make getting you safe and watertight the first priority, then sort the full repair from there.
Whatever the weather and the roof allow. Often the sensible first move is to make the roof safe and watertight, then come back in dry conditions to do the lasting repair rather than bodge it in the rain.
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.
We photograph the damage, describe what failed and what the repair involves, and put it in writing. Insurers usually want exactly that. The claim itself is between you and them, but you will have solid evidence from someone who has been up on the roof.
