Roof Repairs for Homes in Leigh
A lot of the roof repairs we do in Leigh are on the terraced rows through Pennington and Bedford, where the original slate has done its century and started letting go a slate at a time. We match reclaimed slate to the rest of the roof, refix the run and check the slates either side rather than only the one that has slipped, so you are not calling us back for its neighbour a month later.
We cover Leigh and the surrounding area: Pennington, Bedford, Westleigh, Firs Lane, Plank Lane and beyond (WN7).

What’s Included
The bay-fronted villas are a different sort of repair. Bigger roofs mean more valleys, more ridges and more lead details, and any one of them can be the point where water gets in while the rest of the roof looks perfectly sound. We trace the leak back to where it starts, which on a villa is often a tired valley or a cracked bay roof rather than the spot the damp shows inside, and we put right what is causing it. If a repair really is all it needs, we will say so and price it as a repair.
- 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

- Storm damage made safe quickly
How It Works
Roof Repairs in Leigh, FAQs
A few slipped slates on a Pennington or Bedford terrace can be refixed and matched in, and often that is all it needs. Once slates are letting go all over the roof, though, it is a sign the slope is due a re-roof, and we will be straight with you about which it is.
Yes, that is a big part of the villa work in Leigh. The valleys and lead on those larger roofs are usually where a leak starts, and we renew or re-detail them rather than smearing sealant over the problem.
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.
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.
Yes. After high winds we make the roof safe and watertight first, then carry out the permanent repair. We can also provide photos and a written description of the damage if you are claiming on insurance.
