Roof repairs in Wigan from a local, hard-working team
If water is coming through your ceiling or you have spotted slipped tiles after a storm, you need roof repairs in Wigan that are done quickly and done properly. Gaskell Roofing Ltd has been repairing roofs across Wigan and Lancashire for more than ten years, and most of our work comes from customers who recommend us to friends and neighbours.
We start by finding the real cause of the problem. A stain on a bedroom ceiling is often a long way from the actual leak, so we look at the whole roof slope, the flashings, the valleys and the gutters before we give you a price. You then get a clear quote for the repair and a straight answer if a larger job would be better value.
Common problems we fix
Most of the call-outs we deal with fall into a handful of categories. We repair slipped, cracked and missing tiles and slates, replace damaged or lifted lead flashing around chimneys and abutments, and renew cracked or crumbling mortar on ridges, hips and verges. We also repair valleys that have worn through, clear and re-seal blocked gutters that are letting water back under the roof edge, and patch flat roofs where felt has split or blistered.
- Leaking roofs and damp patches on ceilings

Why a quick roof repair saves money
A small leak rarely stays small. Water gets into roof timbers, soaks insulation and eventually stains and damages ceilings and walls. Fixing a few tiles or a section of flashing early is far cheaper than replacing rotten rafters later, which is why we recommend getting any roof problem looked at as soon as you notice it.
