Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Ince-in-Makerfield
We are only a couple of miles from Ince at our Hindley Green base, so when a roof lets go in a storm we can usually be there fast instead of leaving you watching the ceiling. The shallow-pitch slate on these terraces does not grip as well as a steeper roof once the wind gets under it, so a hard blow can lift a run of slates, peel back a length of ridge or drive water through a ceiling in one go. Our first move is to get the roof safe and shut the water out before it does more damage inside.
We cover Ince-in-Makerfield and the surrounding area: Lower Ince, Higher Ince, Spring View, Belle Green Lane, Manchester Road and beyond (WN2, WN3).

What’s Included
Getting to an emergency on a tight Ince street usually means working from the rear alley, and we will make the loose slates safe and sheet up the slope to hold the water back until the weather passes. If you are putting in a claim, we photograph the damage and write up what happened for your insurer, which takes one job off your list at a bad moment. Once it is dry we come back and put the roof right, rather than leave a temporary cover doing a permanent job.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Ince-in-Makerfield, FAQs
Usually within minutes, since Ince is one of our nearest patches from Hindley Green. For anything urgent across WN2 and WN3 we get to you, make the roof safe and hold the water back first, then book the full repair once you are out of trouble.
We come out, get onto the roof from the rear and make the loose slates safe, then sheet the slope so no more water comes through. Once the weather clears we are back to refix or re-cover the stripped section for good, because a repair rushed in the wet will not hold.
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.
