Emergency Roof Repairs in Horwich
A 24 hour call out for roofing emergencies. Leaks, storm damage and dangerous tiles made safe fast, then repaired once the roof is dry. North toward the moors, a short drive.
Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Horwich
When a storm rolls in off Winter Hill, Horwich feels it early and hard, and that is when the phone goes: stone slates lifted or brought down, a run of ridge tiles gone, or water coming through a ceiling in the night. On the old stone roofs a dislodged slate is heavy and can be a real hazard on the ground below, so getting the roof safe comes first. We are a short drive south in Hindley Green, so we can get up to a roof in BL6 quickly rather than leaving you waiting.
We cover Horwich and the surrounding area: Middlebrook, Lever Park, Chorley New Road, Church Street, Wallsuches and beyond (BL6).

What’s Included
We will get to you as fast as we can, make the roof safe, and sheet up anything that needs covering to stop more water getting in, then come back to do the repair in full once the wind and rain off the moors have passed. Trying to finish a full stone repair in a gale does no one any good, so we make it watertight first and put it right after. If you are claiming on insurance we photograph the damage and give you a written description for the claim, so that side of it is one less worry while you get the house put right.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Horwich, FAQs
Quickly, because we are only a short drive south in Hindley Green. For a genuine emergency in BL6 we make getting you safe and watertight the priority, then arrange the full repair from there.
Keep clear of the area below it, because stone slates are heavy, and give us a call. We will get up there as soon as we can, check what has moved and what is loose, make the roof safe and watertight, and sort the permanent repair once the weather has passed.
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.
