Leak, slipped slates or a roof that has seen better days? Our Tyldesley roofers come out, show you the problem and give you a fixed written price before any work starts.
Much of Tyldesley's older housing is red-brick terraces built as the town grew around its cotton mills and collieries, many in and around the town centre conservation area. Most have slate roofs, brick chimney stacks and lead flashings that are now well over a century old.
Further out, towards Astley, Shakerley and Mosley Common, there are inter-war and post-war semis, former council estates and newer developments, with concrete tiled roofs, uPVC roofline and flat-roofed extensions and garages.
Roofers Tyldesley is based on Elliott Street in the centre of Tyldesley, a short drive from Astley, Atherton, Hindsford, Mosley Common, Boothstown and Leigh.
Tyldesley's mix of mill-era terraces and later estates means the same few roof problems come up again and again. These are the jobs we are asked about most in Tyldesley and the surrounding M29 area.
Slipped and cracked slates on older terraces
Many of Tyldesley's terraced streets still have their original slate roofs. As the nails holding them rust, slates slide out of place and let rain reach the battens and felt underneath. See our slate roofing.
Chimney stacks and worn lead flashing
Terraces and older semis in Tyldesley often share brick chimney stacks. Crumbling pointing and lifted lead where the stack meets the roof are a common cause of damp patches on chimney breasts. See our chimney repairs
and lead flashing repairs.
Loose ridge tiles and verge mortar
On the ridges and gable ends of the town's semis and post-war houses, the mortar holding ridge and verge tiles weathers away and leaves tiles loose in strong winds. See our ridge tile repairs
and dry verge systems.
Leaking bay window roofs
Victorian and Edwardian houses around Tyldesley often have small bay roofs finished in slate or lead. They are easy to overlook and tend to leak where they meet the front wall. See our bay window roof repairs.
Flat roofs on extensions and garages
Rear extensions, dormers and garages across Tyldesley and Astley are often covered in old felt that splits and blisters with age, letting water pond and leak through. See our flat roofing.
Blocked gutters and rotten fascias
Leaves and moss washed off the roof block gutters and downpipes, and overflowing water soon rots the timber fascias and soffits on older houses in the area. See our gutter repairs
and gutter cleaning.
No. The inspection and the written quote are free, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.
How soon can you come out?
It depends on the week and the weather. If water is coming in, say so when you call and we will treat it as urgent.
What are your opening hours?
We are open 7 days a week, from 6am to 8pm.
Can you repair it, or will I need a new roof?
Most roofs we look at need a repair, not replacing. We show you photos and explain why we are recommending one or the other.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our roofing work is covered by a workmanship guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How much do roofers in Tyldesley charge?
