Roof Repairs for Homes in Wigan
Which roof repair you need in Wigan depends a lot on where in town you are. On the tight Victorian terraces around Scholes, Whelley and Newtown the slate has done well over a century, and once a slope starts shedding the odd slate after a windy spell, it tends to carry on unless it is dealt with. We match reclaimed slate to the rest of the roof, refix the run and check the slates to either side while we are up there, so you are not calling us straight back out for the next one along.
We cover Wigan and the surrounding area: Scholes, Whelley, Swinley, Newtown, Marsh Green and beyond (WN1, WN3).

What’s Included
Up on the Swinley villas the repairs are a bigger proposition, with more valleys, hips and lead details, and a leak on one of those larger roofs often starts a good way from where the damp shows inside. On the postwar estates at Marsh Green and Worsley Mesnes it is more often a cracked ridge or a slipped concrete tile after a gale. Wherever it is, we trace the water back to the actual fault and fix that, and if a straightforward repair is all it needs, that is what we price.
- 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 Wigan, FAQs
On the older terraces around Scholes and Newtown the slate has simply worn out and the fixings have loosened over the years, so the odd one lets go and then its neighbours follow. We can refix and match in a small number where the rest of the slope is sound. Once slates are dropping right across the roof, though, that is the point where re-covering makes more sense than chasing individual slates, and we will be straight about which it is.
Both. A single slipped slate on a Newtown terrace or a cracked ridge on a Marsh Green semi is a normal call-out for us, the same as a full re-roof. Small local jobs are how a lot of Wigan customers first come across 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.
