When a new roof in Horwich makes more sense than repairs
There comes a point when patching no longer adds up. If your roof has been repaired several times, the felt underneath is brittle, or tiles are slipping all over, a new roof in Horwich can save you money and worry in the long run. We strip the old roof, check the timbers, and rebuild it with modern materials fitted to suit the weather here.
We are honest about when that point has arrived. Plenty of roofs only need targeted repairs, and we'll say so. But where the whole covering is failing, a full replacement gives you a clean slate for decades.
With over 20 years' experience, a 4.9 rating from more than 350 Google reviews, and full public liability insurance, we handle re-roofs from start to finish. The survey and quote are free.

What a new roof includes
Full strip
Old tiles, battens and felt removed and disposed of, with the roof timbers inspected and repaired where needed.
Breathable membrane
A modern breathable membrane laid and fixed, helping keep the roof space dry and ventilated.
Battens and covering
New treated battens, then tiles or slate laid and fixed to suit the exposure of your home.
Dry ridge and verge
Mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that resist wind far better than mortar alone.
Re-roofing Horwich homes
Horwich roofs face strong westerly winds and heavy rain from Rivington Pike and Winter Hill, so fixings and edge details matter a great deal. On the stone and brick terraces near the old Loco Works we often reuse sound slates or choose a close match, while homes on the modern estates and around Middlebrook usually suit concrete or clay tiles with dry fix systems. Either way, we specify the roof for its exposure, not just its looks.
We replace roofs across Horwich and BL6, including Blackrod, Lostock, Westhoughton, Adlington and Rivington. Horwich sits roughly 15 miles from our Swan Street office, so getting a roofer out to you is rarely a problem. If you live in a conservation area, check with Bolton Council before changing the roof covering.
Timeline and guide costs for a new roof
A typical house re-roof usually takes 2 to 5 days, depending on the size of the roof and the weather. Scaffolding goes up first, then we strip and re-cover in sections so your home stays protected. We won't strip more than we can make watertight that day.
Costs depend on the size and pitch of the roof, the material you choose, the condition of the timbers and any extras such as new roofline or chimney work. Because those vary so much, we price every roof individually after a free survey. Call 0800 046 1159 to arrange one.
New roof questions from Horwich homeowners
How do I know if I need a new roof or just repairs?
Signs pointing to a full replacement include widespread slipped tiles, sagging, brittle or torn felt in the loft, and repeated leaks in different places. A single problem area usually just needs a repair. We'll inspect the roof inside and out and give you an honest view of which it is.
Can you reuse my existing slates?
If they are in good condition, yes. Many older Horwich terraces have slates that still have life in them. We sort them on the ground, reuse sound ones and top up with matching slate. If too many are cracked or delaminating, we'll recommend new or reclaimed slate instead.
What happens if it rains while my roof is stripped?
We plan around the forecast and only strip what we can cover the same day. Any open areas are protected with membrane and sheeting. Given how quickly weather rolls in off the moors, we keep a close eye on conditions throughout the job.
Do I need to be home during the work?
Not necessarily. We need access to the outside and sometimes the loft, but many customers go to work as normal. We'll agree arrangements beforehand and keep you updated each day.
Will a new roof improve my home's insulation?
A new roof is a good time to check loft insulation and ventilation. The membrane and ventilation details we use help prevent condensation, and we can advise on topping up insulation while the roof is open. We'll talk through options during the survey.
Do you replace roofs on bungalows and extensions too?
Yes. We re-roof houses, bungalows, extensions and outbuildings, both pitched and flat. If part of the property has a flat roof, we can replace that at the same time, which often saves on access costs.
