Roof Repairs for Homes in Tyldesley
Most of the roof repairs we get called to in Tyldesley are down to the wind. Up on the higher streets around Elliott Street the tiles and slates take the full force of it, and a gust off the open ground gets under an edge, lifts a tile and drops it, or works a row loose over a bad night. Because the rain up here is driven sideways rather than falling straight down, it finds the gap and is into the loft before you see a mark on the ceiling.
We cover Tyldesley and the surrounding area: Elliott Street, Shakerley, Astley, Mosley Common, Hough and beyond (M29).

What’s Included
Where a roof abuts a wall or runs into a valley, that flashing is the first thing the weather probes, so a lot of our repairs are cutting in fresh lead where the old has lifted or split. We trace where the water is getting in, which up on the tops is often a few courses away from where the damp shows inside, and we fix the cause. If the roof only needs a repair we will say so and price it that way, rather than talking you into more.
- 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 Tyldesley, FAQs
Up on the exposed streets it is common for tiles along the ridge and verges to work loose, because that is where the wind gets under them. We refix or replace the loose ones, check the courses either side, and where a whole edge is lifting we will point out that dry-fixed ridges and verges hold far better in this kind of exposure.
Both. A couple of slipped tiles or a lifted bit of flashing on a house in M29 is a normal call-out for us, and small local jobs are how a lot of Tyldesley customers 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.
