Emergency Roof Repairs for Homes in Wigan
When a storm gets into a roof in Wigan, the size of the town means it can be almost anything that calls: a stripped ridge on a Whelley terrace, water pouring through a ceiling on a Marsh Green estate, or a leak into a flat above a shop on Standishgate that runs down into the unit trading below. We are only a few miles east in Hindley Green, so we can get across to any part of WN1 or WN3 quickly. The first job is always to make the roof safe and stop any more water getting in.
We cover Wigan and the surrounding area: Scholes, Whelley, Swinley, Newtown, Marsh Green and beyond (WN1, WN3).

What’s Included
We will get to you as fast as we can, hold the water back and sheet up whatever needs it, then come back to make a lasting job of it once the weather has passed. On the town centre buildings that often means getting up top to find where the water is entering before it does more damage to the floors below. If you are claiming on your insurance we can photograph the damage and write up a description for the claim, which is one less thing to deal with at a bad moment.

How It Works
Emergency Roof Repairs in Wigan, FAQs
Quickly, because we are based just east in Hindley Green, only a few miles out. For a genuine emergency anywhere in Wigan, WN1 or WN3, 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 put it right in dry conditions rather than rush it 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.
