New Roofs for Homes in Golborne
When a slate terrace roof in Golborne has reached the end, a re-roof is the right answer. We strip the tired slate, lay breathable membrane over new treated battens and re-cover in slate or a good slate alternative that sits right in a High Street row. A dry ridge and dry verge go on so there is no mortar to crack and wash out over the next few winters, and any chimney and lead work gets handled while the scaffold is already up.
We cover Golborne and the surrounding area: High Street, Bank Street, Kenyon, Church Lane, Stone Cross and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
The postwar and modern estate houses are a different roof but the same thinking. Their concrete tiles and the felt beneath them reach a point where patch after patch is just throwing good money after bad, so we renew the whole system in one go. Being a value-minded town, most people here want the real numbers, so we price the re-roof and, where repair is a genuine option, price that too, and let you choose.
- 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 Golborne, FAQs
Yes. On the High Street and Bank Street terraces we take care to match the slate and the detailing so a re-roofed house sits right in the row rather than standing out. Where an exact match matters we source reclaimed slate to suit.
A typical Golborne terrace or estate semi is usually a matter of days once the scaffold is up, weather permitting. You get a realistic timescale with the quote, and we keep the site tidy at the end of each day.
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.
