Full Roof Replacement Services
Is your roof leaking, sagging or reaching the end of its life?
I replace tired and damaged roofs across Bolton and Greater Manchester with reliable workmanship and clear pricing.
A failing roof puts your entire home at risk. When tiles or slates start to come loose, water can penetrate the underlay, rot timbers and cause damp patches inside. Constant patching might delay the problem but it will not fix underlying structural issues.
I provide full roof replacements throughout Bolton, Bury, Chorley, Astley, Leigh, Atherton, Horwich and Adlington.
From the initial survey to the final clean‑up, I manage everything. Old materials are removed, damaged rafters and battens are replaced, and new breathable underfelt and tiles or slates are installed. The result is a watertight, long‑lasting roof that improves energy efficiency and adds value to your property.
Common reasons to replace a roof
Customers usually come to me with the same set of issues. If any of these sound familiar, you are in the right place.
- Repeated leaks or damp patches despite repairs
- Tiles or slates slipping off and gutters filling with debris
- Visible sagging or rotten timbers in the loft
- Roof covering approaching the end of its lifespan (20–60 years depending on material)
- Improving insulation and energy efficiency
- Renovating or adding value before selling your home
