We cover 53 towns and villages across three main areas: Warrington and the Cheshire villages around it, Wigan and the surrounding Greater Manchester townships, and St Helens and its Merseyside neighbours.

That includes Lymm, Stockton Heath, Great Sankey, Culcheth, Birchwood and Grappenhall around Warrington; Leigh, Atherton, Tyldesley, Hindley, Standish, Orrell and Ashton-in-Makerfield around Wigan; and Newton-le-Willows, Haydock, Rainford, Rainhill, Eccleston and Earlestown around St Helens.

See the full list of areas we cover. If your town is not listed, call us anyway, as we often work slightly beyond these boundaries.

No. Quotations are completely free and carry no obligation.

We come out to the property, assess the work in full including the parts you cannot see from the ground, and give you a detailed written quote. You are under no pressure to proceed, and we will tell you honestly if a repair will do the job rather than a full replacement.

Yes. We provide a 24-hour emergency call-out service for urgent roofing problems: storm damage, sudden leaks, slipped or blown-off tiles, and water coming into the property.

For emergencies, call the mobile directly on 07747 960 594. We will make the roof safe and watertight first, then talk through the permanent repair once the immediate risk is dealt with.

Yes. We carry both public liability and employer's liability insurance, and both are in force on every job we do, domestic, commercial and industrial alike.

If you would like to see the certificates before work begins, just ask and we will provide them.

All major roofing installations are covered by our 10-year written guarantee, which covers both materials and workmanship, not just one or the other. That distinction is worth checking with any roofer you get a quote from.

The guarantee is issued in writing on completion. Smaller repairs are guaranteed too; the exact term is confirmed in your quote before you commit.

There is no honest fixed price for roofing, which is why we do not publish a price list. Two houses on the same street can differ substantially. The cost of your job depends on:

• Size and pitch of the roof, and how complex its shape is, since valleys, dormers and hips all add work
• Access, including whether scaffolding is needed and how easy the property is to work around
• Material, as natural slate, concrete or clay tile, EPDM, GRP and felt all sit at different price points
• Condition of the timbers underneath, which is often only fully visible once the old covering comes off
• Extra elements such as chimney work, lead flashings, guttering or roof windows

Our free survey exists precisely so you get a real, itemised figure rather than a guess. Request a free quote.

It depends on the building and how long you need it to last.

• EPDM rubber is a single-sheet membrane with a proven lifespan of 50+ years and very few joints to fail. It is our usual recommendation for larger flat areas.
• GRP fibreglass is completely seamless, fire resistant and virtually maintenance free for 25+ years. It gives the crispest finish where the roof is visible.
• Torch-on felt is the best-value option and performs well on garages, outbuildings and extensions where a 50-year life is not the priority.

We install all three, so the recommendation you get from us is based on your roof rather than on what we happen to fit. More on our flat roofing work.

As a general guide, with proper maintenance:

• Natural slate: 80 to 100 years, sometimes considerably more
• Concrete or clay tile: 40 to 60 years
• EPDM rubber flat roof: 50+ years
• GRP fibreglass flat roof: 25+ years
• Torch-on felt: typically 15 to 20 years for a modern system

Those are lifespans for the covering itself. In practice, roofs in this region almost always fail at the details first, at flashings, mortar, valleys and verges, long before the slates or tiles wear out. That is why an annual look-over is worth far more than it costs.

It does, and it is worth understanding why.

This region sits directly in the path of prevailing westerly weather coming in off the Irish Sea, which means wind-driven rain: rain pushed horizontally into joints, laps and flashings rather than simply running down the roof. Details that would stay dry in a calmer, drier part of the country get tested here every winter.

Add to that a high number of freeze-thaw cycles, where water gets into mortar and porous tiles, freezes, expands and gradually breaks them apart, plus damp conditions that encourage moss growth, which holds water against the covering and blocks gutters.

The practical upshot: ridge and verge mortar, lead flashings and guttering need checking more often here than the national average, and poor workmanship shows up faster.

Worth acting on any of these:

• Damp patches, staining or peeling paint on upstairs ceilings and walls
• Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles visible from the ground
• Granules or fragments collecting in the gutters
• Daylight visible through the roof when you are in the loft
• A sagging or dipping roofline
• Blistering, bubbling or splitting on a flat roof
• Crumbling mortar at the ridge, verge or chimney, or lifting lead flashing
• Persistent damp on a chimney breast

Small roofing faults get expensive quickly once water reaches the timbers. If you have spotted any of the above, get it looked at before the next spell of bad weather.

No. We use drone surveys to inspect roofs, which means no ladders, no scaffolding, no access equipment and no disruption to you.

You get high-definition photography and video of the actual problem areas, including ridges, valleys and chimney tops that are difficult to reach and easy to guess about, along with a written report. It is faster, safer and considerably more thorough than someone taking a look from a ladder.

Often, yes. In England, if you replace more than 25% of a roof covering, the work is normally notifiable under the Building Regulations, and you may be required to improve the roof's thermal insulation at the same time. Structural changes such as altering rafters or forming new openings for roof windows are also notifiable.

Like-for-like repairs to a smaller area generally are not. Planning permission is usually not needed for a straightforward re-roof, but it can be if the property is listed or in a conservation area, or if you are changing the appearance of the roof.

We handle this as part of the job and will tell you at quotation stage what applies to your property. Because requirements vary by council and by property, always confirm with your local building control before work starts.

Yes. Alongside domestic work we handle commercial and industrial roofing: warehouses, offices, retail units, schools and healthcare premises, and managed housing stock.

Large flat roof areas, single ply and EPDM membrane systems, industrial roof repairs and planned maintenance are all part of what we do. See the full range of services.

Most domestic re-roofs are measured in days rather than weeks, but the honest answer is that it depends on the size and complexity of the roof, the weather, and what we find once the old covering is stripped, since rotten timbers or failed battens add time.

You will get a realistic timescale in writing as part of your quote, and we will keep you updated if anything changes once work is underway. We would rather tell you the truth up front than start a job on an optimistic promise. See our re-roofing work.
