Roof Repairs for Homes in Golborne
A lot of the roof repairs we do in Golborne are on the older slate terraces along High Street and Bank Street. The original slate was fixed with iron nails, and as those nails corrode the slates start to slip a few at a time, usually after a rough night. Left alone, one gap lets water straight into the loft. We match reclaimed slate to the rest of the roof, refix the run and check the slates either side while the ladders are up.
We cover Golborne and the surrounding area: High Street, Bank Street, Kenyon, Church Lane, Stone Cross and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
On the estate houses toward Lowton and the A580 it is more often a cracked ridge tile, a lifted piece of flashing or a concrete tile knocked out of line by the wind. Water rarely shows inside where it gets in, so we trace it back to the real fault and fix the cause rather than the damp patch. If a straightforward repair is all the roof needs, that is what we quote, and we will tell you so plainly.
- 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 Golborne, FAQs
On the older slate roofs it is nearly always the fixings: the iron nails have corroded, so slates work loose and slide one by one. A few can be refixed, but once it is happening all over the slope the roof is telling you it is due a re-roof, and we will say which stage yours is at.
Yes. A single slipped slate or a cracked ridge on an estate semi is a normal call-out for us, not too small to bother with. Small local jobs are how a lot of Golborne customers first meet 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.
