Full re-roofs with nothing skipped: stripped to the timbers, new membrane and battens, tiles or slates laid straight, dry ridge as standard. A couple of miles from our Hindley Green base.
New Roofs for Homes in Platt Bridge
When a concrete interlocking tile roof in Platt Bridge is spent, tiles porous and the felt torn, a re-roof is the sensible fix. We strip the old tiles and felt, fit breathable membrane and new treated battens, and re-cover in modern interlocking tiles that lock down tight against the wind coming off the open ground. A dry ridge system goes on so there is no mortar to wash out, and the flashings get renewed at the same time while the scaffold is up.
We cover Platt Bridge and the surrounding area: Wigan Road, Liverpool Road, Warrington Road, Bryn Gates, Landgate and beyond (WN2).

What’s Included
Because so many of the estate streets went up together, we quite often end up doing two or three roofs along the same row over a season. Where neighbours are ready at the same time it can bring the cost down for everyone, and we are glad to price each house on its own so nobody feels pushed. We always give you a figure for the full re-roof and, where it stands up, a figure to repair instead, so you can weigh it up with real numbers.
- 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 Platt Bridge, FAQs
A typical estate semi or terrace here is usually a few days once the scaffold is up, weather allowing. We give you a realistic timescale with the quote and clear up fully at the end of each day.
Yes. We pick a tile that sits right against the neighbouring roofs so your house does not jump out of the row, and where an estate roof used an odd old profile we find the closest current match.
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.
