Tile and slate roofing in Wigan for new and old homes
A new roof is one of the biggest jobs you will ever have done on your home, so it pays to choose a roofer who sweats the details. Gaskell Roofing Ltd provides tile and slate roofing in Wigan for everything from 1930s semis and Victorian terraces to new extensions and period properties with turrets and dormers.
Our customers often tell us about the finish: tidy ridges, straight courses, neat verges and a site left clean at the end of the day. One customer who had two full roofs replaced told us we made it all look simple, and that we never asked for a penny upfront.
What a full re-roof involves
We strip the old covering, inspect the timbers and replace anything that has rotted, then fit new underlay and battens before laying the new tiles or slates. Flashings, valleys, ridges and hips are renewed at the same time so the whole roof is watertight, not just the main slopes.
Where a roof is sound but the covering is tired, a careful strip and re-tile can give you a like-for-like result. If you want a different look, we can fit modern concrete tiles, slate-effect tiles or natural slate, and talk you through the pros and cons of each.

Choosing between tile and slate
Concrete tiles are durable and good value, and modern profiles suit most houses. Natural slate has a premium look and can last for generations when it is laid correctly, which makes it a popular choice for period and stone-built properties across Lancashire.
