New Roofs for Homes in Aspull
When an old stone roof in Aspull has reached the end, a re-roof is done with respect for what it is. We strip the covering carefully, salvage the stone flags or slate that are still sound, fit breathable membrane and new treated battens, and re-cover so the finished roof still sits right against its neighbours and the countryside behind it. Dry ridge and dry verge systems go on so there is no mortar to crack out over the next few exposed winters up here.
We cover Aspull and the surrounding area: Aspull, Haigh, New Springs, Top Lock, Bolton Road and beyond (WN2).

What’s Included
The newer detached and estate homes are a more straightforward re-roof, but the principle is the same. Once the original tiles and the felt beneath them are past patching, we renew the whole system rather than chase leaks around it. You get a price for the re-roof and, where repair is still a genuine option, a price for that too, so the decision is made on real numbers and not guesswork.
- Stripped to the rafters, timbers checked and repaired
- Breathable membrane and treated battens throughout
- Concrete tile, clay tile, natural or fibre cement slate
- Dry ridge and dry verge systems as standard
- New lead flashings, chimney work while the scaffold is up
- Waste cleared daily, site left tidy
How It Works
New Roofs in Aspull, FAQs
Yes. We salvage and reuse the sound stone flags or slate where we can and source reclaimed material to match the rest, so a re-roofed Aspull cottage keeps its character rather than looking out of place next to its neighbours.
A typical house is usually a matter of days once the scaffold is up, weather permitting, though the older stone roofs can take a little longer because the work is more careful. We give you a realistic timescale with the quote and keep the site tidy each evening.
The felt is usually the decider. If the membrane under the tiles has gone brittle and torn across large areas, every repair is temporary because water finds the next tear. Widespread nail failure and constant slipped tiles point the same way. We will tell you straight which category your roof is in, and quote a repair instead if that is the better call.
Ridge and hip tiles were traditionally bedded on mortar, which cracks with the seasons and eventually lets tiles come loose. A dry ridge system clamps them mechanically with screws and brackets, allows the roof to breathe, and does not need rebedding every few years. It costs a little more on day one and saves money every year after.
It comes down to the house, the street and the budget. Natural slate looks superb on older houses and lasts generations; fibre cement slate gives a similar look for less; concrete tiles are the workhorse choice. We bring samples and give you prices for each so you can compare them side by side.
