Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Leigh
Being a fair-sized town, Leigh throws up all sorts when a storm blows in, and the roofs facing Pennington Flash catch the worst of it, because nothing out over that open water breaks the wind before it hits them. A hard gust can strip a ridge off a villa, peel slates from a long terrace run, or force water through a ceiling in the small hours. We sit just up the road in Hindley Green, minutes from WN7, so we can be on the scene fast and get the roof made safe before the damage spreads any further.
We cover Leigh and the surrounding area: Pennington, Bedford, Westleigh, Firs Lane, Plank Lane and beyond (WN7).

What’s Included
On the larger Leigh roofs there is more up top that can let go, so once we have you safe we cover the openings, prop or strap whatever is loose, and hold the whole lot watertight until the wind drops and a lasting repair can be carried out in the dry. Should you be going through your insurer, we will take photographs on the day and set the damage down in plain writing for the claim, so that part is handled while you deal with the rest.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Leigh, FAQs
Quickly, because we are based just north in Hindley Green. For a genuine emergency in Leigh or WN7 we put getting you safe and watertight first, then arrange the full repair from there.
Whatever the weather and the roof allow. Often the sensible first step is to make it safe and watertight, then come back and do the full repair in dry conditions, with nothing rushed 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.
