Roofer in Bolton, Horwich and Westhoughton

Bolton’s roofs

Bolton grew around its mills, and plenty of its housing still shows it. Brick and stone terraces run through Daubhill, Halliwell, Great Lever and Farnworth, many with slate roofs and chimney stacks. Interwar and post-war semis fill Heaton, Harwood, Astley Bridge and Breightmet. Out at Horwich and Westhoughton there are older terraces near the town centres and a lot of newer estates around them.

Bolton sits right under the West Pennine Moors, and roofs on higher ground get more wind and rain than most.

The jobs that come up most

Slate repairs and re-roofs on older terraces where the nails have rusted and slates are slipping. See slate and tile repairs.
Full re-roofs on semis whose original felt and battens have failed. See new roofs.

Roofer in Bolton: common questions

Do you cover Horwich and Westhoughton?

Yes. Horwich and Westhoughton are both in the areas Jon covers, along with Farnworth, Kearsley, Little Lever, Astley Bridge, Harwood, Breightmet, Heaton, Lostock and the rest of the borough.

My terrace has a stone chimney stack. Can you repair it?

Yes. Repointing, new flaunching, pots and the flashing round the stack are all part of chimney repairs. A scaffold is usually needed to do it safely.

My roof is on high ground and takes a battering. What can help?

Making sure ridges, hips and verges are properly fixed is the biggest difference. Dry fixed ridges and verges do not rely on mortar that cracks and blows out. Jon can check yours.
