Roof Repairs for Homes in Bickershaw
Most repairs we do in Bickershaw are on the pit-built terraces along Bickershaw Lane, and these were built to a good standard, so more often than not it is a straightforward fix rather than a tired-out roof. A slate or two slips after a gale, a ridge tile cracks, or a bit of flashing lifts where the roof meets a chimney or a wall. We match reclaimed slate to the rest of the roof, refix the run so it sits tight and check the ones either side while the ladder is up.
We cover Bickershaw and the surrounding area: Bickershaw, Bickershaw Lane, Plank Lane, Abram, Leigh Road and beyond (WN2).

What’s Included
Because Bickershaw is a small hamlet, we get to know these roofs, and that helps when something goes wrong. We trace where the water is getting in, which is rarely right above the damp patch on the ceiling, and put right the real cause rather than the first thing that looks wrong. If repairs are all your roof needs, that is what we will quote, and we will tell you plainly when a terrace roof is holding up well for its age.
- Slipped, cracked and missing tiles and slates replaced
- Leaks traced to the source and fixed
- Ridge and hip tiles rebedded or dry-fixed
- Lead flashing repaired and dressed in
- Valleys cleared and relined
- Storm damage made safe quickly
How It Works
Roof Repairs in Bickershaw, FAQs
Usually not on its own. On the pit terraces a slipped slate after a windy night is a common, quick fix, so we refix it and check the ones around it. It only points to a bigger job when slates are letting go all over the roof at once.
Yes, gladly. A single slipped slate or a cracked ridge on a terrace off Bickershaw Lane is a normal call-out for us, and small local jobs like that are how a lot of people here first find us.
The obvious sign is a damp patch or drip on a ceiling, but earlier clues are stained loft timbers, wet insulation, daylight showing through the roof, or tiles in the garden after wind. If you can see any of those, it is worth getting it looked at before the next heavy rain.
It depends on what has failed and how easy it is to reach. Replacing a couple of slipped tiles is a small job; a relined valley or a rebedded ridge line is bigger. We look first, then give you an exact written price, so you are never guessing.
Nearly always. We source reclaimed and new tiles and slates to match what is on your roof, so the repair blends in rather than sitting there as an obvious patch.
