Roofing in Standish: local roofers you can call
If you are looking for roofing in Standish, Gaskell Roofing Ltd is a local Wigan firm that covers the village and the surrounding area. We carry out roof repairs, new tiled and slate roofs, flat roofs, pointing work, fascias and guttering, and we give a no-obligation quote for every job.
Standish sits just north-west of Wigan, close to the M6, and has grown from an old village centre into one of the borough's larger and more popular residential areas. That growth is reflected in the roofs: stone cottages and older terraces close to the centre, solid inter-war semis, and family estates built through the second half of the twentieth century.
What roofs look like in Standish
Older roofs near the village centre often have weathered tiles, tired lead flashings and chimney stacks that need regular attention. Many 1960s and 1970s houses are now reaching the age where original concrete tiles are worn and the pointing along ridges and verges has failed, so re-pointing, re-bedding or a full strip and re-tile is a common conversation.
Newer developments around Standish bring a different set of jobs. Extensions, garage conversions and porches usually have flat roofs, and these are the roofs that tend to start leaking when felt ages or an edge detail was rushed. We replace them with felt or fibreglass and make sure the guttering and fascias line up with the new roof.
Standish suits our kind of work because the housing is varied and well maintained, and homeowners tend to ask for the job to be done properly rather than cheaply. We also work for landlords and for owners of larger detached houses with turrets, dormers and more complex roof lines.
