Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Westhoughton
Because Howfen sits up on higher, more open ground over toward Bolton and the moor edge, a storm hits its roofs with the full force of the wind, and that is when things start to give. The calls that come in after a rough night run much the same each time, tiles lifted clean off the slope, a line of dry verge caps torn from a gable, or a ceiling that has begun to drip in the small hours. We are close at hand over in Hindley Green, so we can be with you in short order. Getting the roof secure and holding back the water is where we always begin.
We cover Westhoughton and the surrounding area: Daisy Hill, Chequerbent, Wingates, White Horse, Hart Common and beyond (BL5).

What’s Included
We will reach you as quickly as the roads let us, hold the water off and sheet over anything left open to the sky, then come back to put it right for good once the storm has blown itself out. If it is going through your insurer, we take photographs of the damage and set down in plain writing what has gone on, so that side of things is dealt with and there is one less job on your plate at a rotten time.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Westhoughton, FAQs
Usually quickly, because we are based just west of you in Hindley Green. For a genuine emergency in BL5 we make getting you safe and watertight the priority, 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 to do the full repair in dry conditions rather than rush it.
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.
