Roofing in Upholland: local roofers you can call
Roofing in Upholland needs a local roofer who understands exposed ground, and Gaskell Roofing Ltd is a Wigan firm that regularly covers the village. We repair and replace tiled and slate roofs, fix flat roofs, and renew fascias, gutters and pointing, all with a no-obligation quote.
Upholland, often written as Up Holland, sits on a ridge between Wigan and Skelmersdale. The sandstone buildings around the old centre, including the ruins of the medieval priory and its church, give the village a distinctive look that is very different from the red-brick terraces down in the valley.
What roofs look like in Upholland
Being on a hill means roofs here get the full force of the wind and rain. Ridge tiles, hips and verges that are bedded in tired mortar are among the first things to fail, so re-bedding and dry-fit ridge and verge systems are common jobs. Slipped tiles and cracked slates after a storm are also frequent call-outs.
Many of the older properties are stone-built with natural slate or stone roofs, and some have been converted or extended over the years. Our recent work on a stone building finished with a new slate roof and roof windows shows the kind of detail we like to get right on this type of property.
If you live in a Victorian villa or a stone cottage, it is worth getting the roof checked before winter, particularly the valleys, the lead flashings and the chimney stacks. We will look over the whole roof, report back honestly and price only what is needed.
