Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Standish
Standish sits on higher, more open ground north of Wigan, so it catches the wind, and the roofs here give the weather plenty to get hold of. A tall two-storey roof with hips, gables and dormers, or a big exposed stack, is more likely to lose a ridge tile or have a section of flashing lifted in a storm than a low sheltered roof. When that happens and water starts coming in, the first job is always to get the roof safe and watertight.
We cover Standish and the surrounding area: Almond Brook, Rectory Lane, Church Street, Market Place, Standish Lower Ground and beyond (WN6).

What’s Included
Getting to a bigger roof safely can mean the right access rather than a ladder thrown up in the wind, so we make you watertight first, sheeting up what needs it, then come back and do the lasting repair once conditions allow and the access is set up right. On the higher-value homes up here that often means an insurance claim, and we can photograph the damage and give you a written description for it, which takes one more thing off your plate at a bad moment.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Standish, FAQs
Yes. On the higher, more exposed ground up here storm damage is common, and getting you safe and watertight is the priority. We make it secure first, then arrange the full repair once the weather has passed and the access is set up safely.
It means we do it safely rather than rushed. On a tall Standish roof we make it watertight first, usually by sheeting the affected area, then bring the right access to carry out a lasting repair rather than risk a bodge in bad weather.
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.
