New Roofs for Homes in Tyldesley
When a roof up in Tyldesley has had enough, the way it is put back matters more than most because of how exposed the town is. We strip the old covering, fit a breathable membrane and new treated battens, and re-cover in slate, tile or a good match for the street. The ridge and the verges go on dry-fixed and mechanically held rather than bedded in mortar alone, so the wind up here has nothing to lift and there is no mortar to crack and drop out over the winters.
We cover Tyldesley and the surrounding area: Elliott Street, Shakerley, Astley, Mosley Common, Hough and beyond (M29).

What’s Included
Out toward Mosley Common and Shakerley the semis and newer houses reach a point where patching is just throwing good money after bad, so we renew the whole system underneath and detail the valleys, verges and abutments to stand up to driven rain. You get a price for the re-roof and, where it is still an option, a price to repair instead, so you can decide with the real figures in front of you.
- 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 Tyldesley, FAQs
That is exactly what we build for. On the tops in Tyldesley we dry-fix the ridge and verges and mechanically clip where it is needed, so the exposed edges that give trouble in high wind are held down mechanically rather than relying on mortar.
A typical terrace or semi is usually a matter of days once the scaffold is up, weather allowing, which up here can mean working around the odd wet and windy day. 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.
