Roof repairs in Ashton-under-Lyne, done properly first time
If you live in one of Ashton's Victorian terraces, there's a good chance your roof is slate, your valley is lead and your chimney is older than anyone on the street. Those roofs can last a very long time, but they need the right repairs. Our roof repairs in Ashton-under-Lyne focus on fixing the real cause of a leak rather than smearing sealant over it.
The calls we get from OL6 and OL7 tend to fall into a few groups: slates slipping after the nails rust through, water coming in at a valley or around a chimney, gutters overflowing onto the walls, and garage roofs that have finally given up.
We're fully insured with public liability cover, have over 20 years in roofing and guarantee all work. Quotes are free, and emergency repairs start from £350, with prices confirmed before work starts.

24/7 emergency repairs

Fixing roofs on Ashton's mill terraces and semis
Ashton-under-Lyne grew around the mills, and its streets of Victorian terraces still mostly carry slate roofs, many with shared chimney stacks and lead valleys at the back where the outrigger meets the main roof. Those valleys, chimneys and gutters need regular attention. Further out you'll find inter-war semis and post-war estates with tiled roofs, where ridge mortar and flat-roofed garages are the more common trouble spots.
We repair roofs across OL6 and OL7, including Hurst, Waterloo, Guide Bridge, Audenshaw, Stalybridge and Mossley, and across to Denton and Hyde. Ashton-under-Lyne is about 6 miles from our Manchester office on Swan Street, so our Greater Manchester team can usually get to you quickly.
What happens when you call us
Ring 0800 046 1159 and tell us what you're seeing. We'll arrange a visit, check the roof and loft where possible, and explain the fault and the fix in plain English. You'll have a written quote before anything starts.
If water is pouring in, call 07532 734934 any time, day or night. We'll make the roof watertight first and then return to complete the repair properly.
Roof repair questions from Ashton-under-Lyne
Why does my terrace leak at the back where the kitchen roof meets the house?
On many Ashton terraces, that's where a lead valley or abutment flashing joins the rear outrigger to the main roof. Lead wears thin, splits or creeps over time, and the gutter at that point often blocks. We check the valley, the flashing and the gutter together, because any of the three can cause that leak.
Can you repair just a few slates on an old slate roof?
Yes. Most slate repairs involve refixing or replacing a handful of slates with tingles or new fixings. We use matching slate so it blends in. If we find nails failing across the whole roof, we'll tell you, because that changes whether repairs remain good value.
Does my neighbour need to agree to repairs on a shared roof?
For work on your own side, generally not, but terraces share chimneys, gutters and roof lines. If the fault sits on or across the boundary, it's sensible to talk to your neighbour. We're happy to explain the problem to both households and quote for a shared repair.
Is it worth repairing a roof I'm planning to replace in a couple of years?
If it's leaking now, yes, a sensible repair protects ceilings and timbers in the meantime. We'll keep the repair proportionate to how long you need it to last and won't push you into spending on work that a re-roof will undo.
Can you repair a garage roof in Ashton as well as the house?
Yes. Flat garage roofs are a regular job for us in Ashton-under-Lyne. Small splits and failed edges can often be repaired; badly worn felt is better replaced with EPDM, GRP or torch-on felt. We'll give you both prices if both are sensible.
Do you send photos of what you find on the roof?
Where it's practical and safe, we'll show you photos of the damage so you can see what we're talking about. It's especially useful for landlords and letting agents who can't be on site, and for owners who want to understand the problem before agreeing to work.
