Emergency Roof Repairs in Orrell
A 24 hour call out for roofing emergencies. Leaks, storm damage and dangerous tiles made safe fast, then repaired once the roof is dry. West of Wigan, a short drive from us.
Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Orrell
Orrell is only a short drive from our base in Hindley Green, so when the wind gets up and a roof lets go we can be out to you quickly rather than leaving you waiting half a day. The higher streets rising toward Billinge Hill and the Up Holland edge catch the worst of it, and after a storm those are the roofs we hear from first, with lifted tiles, a stripped ridge or water suddenly coming through a ceiling. The first job every time is to make the roof safe and stop more water getting in.
We cover Orrell and the surrounding area: Orrell Post, Moor Road, Sandy Lane, Lamberhead Green, Winstanley and beyond (WN5).

What’s Included
We will get to you as fast as we can, sheet up or temporarily seal whatever needs it, and hold the roof watertight until the weather passes and we can do the full repair in dry conditions. If you are putting a claim in, we can photograph the damage and give you a written description for the insurer, which takes one more worry off you at a bad moment. Getting the roof safe comes first, and a lasting repair follows once the weather gives us a fair window.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Orrell, FAQs
Usually quickly, because Orrell is a short drive from us in Hindley Green. For a genuine emergency in WN5 we make getting you safe and watertight the priority, then arrange the full repair from there.
Often that is the sensible way. We make the roof safe and watertight straight away, then return to carry out the repair once the weather has cleared, so the lasting fix goes in without being 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.
