Roof repairs in Lees, sorted properly the first time
Water coming through a bedroom ceiling in Lees usually means one of a handful of things: a slate that has slipped, a ridge that has lost its mortar, a tired flashing, or a gutter that has been overflowing against the wall. Our roof repairs in Lees begin by tracing the leak back to where it really starts, which is often a metre or two away from the damp patch.
Homes here sit on the climb towards the moors, and the weather that rolls off the Pennines finds every weakness. A roof that coped for years can start letting in rain after one bad winter. Catching it early keeps a small repair small.
We bring over 20 years of roofing experience, full public liability insurance and a guarantee on all work. Quotes are free with no hidden fees, and emergency repairs start from £350, with prices confirmed before work starts.

Common repairs on Lees roofs
Slipped and broken slates
Slates refixed with proper clips or nails, and cracked ones swapped for a matching size and colour.
Ridge and hip repairs
Loose ridge tiles lifted, rebedded or dry-fixed so wind and rain can't work them free again.
Leak tracing
We check slates, flashings, valleys and gutters to find the true entry point before anything is replaced.
Storm damage call-outs
Day or night, we make a damaged roof safe and watertight, then return for the permanent repair.
Why Lees roofs take a battering
Much of Lees is stone-built terraces and cottages with slate roofs, mixed in with post-war semis and newer homes further out. On the older properties, the slate itself often outlasts the nails holding it, so slipped slates are one of the most common jobs we see. The exposure on this edge of the Pennines means driving rain gets pushed sideways under laps and behind flashings, and that is usually what turns a minor fault into a ceiling stain.
We carry out repairs across Lees and the OL4 postcode, including Springhead, Grotton and Grasscroft, and over towards Mossley and Oldham. Lees is about 8 miles from our Manchester office on Swan Street, so our Greater Manchester team can usually get to you quickly.
From your call to a dry roof
Phone 0800 046 1159, or 07532 734934 if water is coming in now. Tell us what you've seen, whether that's a stain, a drip or a slate lying on the path. We'll arrange a visit, get up to the roof safely and look in the loft if we can, then explain in plain terms what has failed.
You get a clear quote before any work begins. Where a leak is active, we'll make it temporarily watertight first so you're not left with buckets out, then carry out the proper repair once conditions allow.
Lees roof repair questions answered
Why do slates keep slipping on my Lees terrace?
On older stone terraces, the slates are often fine but the nails holding them have rusted through. Once one goes, others nearby usually follow. We can refix individual slates with clips, but if lots are sliding across a whole slope, the nails are likely failing everywhere and we'll talk you through whether a partial re-slate makes more sense.
My roof only leaks when the wind blows from the moors. What's going on?
Wind-driven rain is common on this side of Oldham. Water gets forced up under slate laps, behind chimney flashings or through gaps at the verge. A roof that stays dry in gentle rain can let water in during a gale. We concentrate on the exposed slopes and junctions to find the weak point.
Can you match the slate on an old stone cottage?
Usually, yes. We look for slates that match the size, thickness and colour of what is already on the roof, and we reuse sound slates from your own roof wherever possible. A good match matters for appearance and for how the roof sheds water.
Is a damp patch on the ceiling always a roof problem?
Not always. Overflowing gutters, failed pointing on the chimney or condensation in a poorly ventilated loft can look similar. That's why we inspect before quoting. If the problem isn't the roof, we'll tell you rather than sell you a repair you don't need.
Do you repair roofs on rented houses in Lees?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. We can arrange access with tenants, keep you updated, and give a written quote and description of the work for your records.
Should I go up a ladder to check the damage myself?
We'd advise against it, particularly on steep terraces or in wet and windy weather. From the ground, note anything you can see, such as missing slates or a displaced ridge, and photograph it if that helps. Then leave the climbing to us.
