New Roofs in Leigh, Wigan

No two houses in Leigh are exactly the same, so why should their roofs be? We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. If you love the traditional look of a Victorian terrace, our slate roofing services are perfect. We use high-quality natural or man-made slates that respect the local character while providing modern durability. For those with 1930s semis or more recent builds, our tile roofing options come in a huge range of colours and profiles to boost your home's kerb appeal. From the initial survey to the final ridge tile, we manage every detail. We'll chat through the pros and cons of concrete versus clay tiles, helping you choose a finish that fits your budget and your street perfectly. It's about making your home look its best while ensuring it's built to last.

What's actually under your tiles is just as important as what's on top. When we install a new roof, we don't cut corners on the 'hidden' bits. We use high-performance breathable membranes that let your house 'breathe' while keeping water out, which is crucial for preventing damp and rot in your loft. Every bit of timber we use, from the main trusses to the fixing battens, is high-grade and treated to resist decay. We also specialise in modern dry ridge and dry verge systems. These are clever, mortar-free ways of securing the edges of your roof. Unlike traditional mortar that cracks and falls out over time, these systems are mechanically fixed, meaning they won't budge even in high winds. It’s these small technical details that make a P D roof stand out from the rest.

We know the idea of a full re-roofing project can feel a bit daunting. You might be wondering about the mess, the noise, or how long you'll have scaffolding up. Most homeowners we talk to are pleasantly surprised by how smoothly it goes when the right team is on the job. Our process starts with a proper, honest survey where we explain exactly what needs doing and why. Once we get started, we work efficiently to get your home watertight as quickly as possible. We handle everything: the scaffolding, the removal of old materials, the leadwork around your chimney, and a thorough clean-up at the end. We treat your property with the same respect we’d show our own, ensuring the only thing we leave behind is a stunning new roof and a very happy customer.

This is one of the most common questions we get asked. In most cases, if you're replacing your roof on a like-for-like basis—meaning you're using similar materials to what was there before—you usually won't need planning permission from Wigan Council. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, the rules are a bit stricter. Also, if you’re planning to significantly change the height or shape of the roof, or if the new materials are much heavier than the old ones, you might need to look into Building Regulations (specifically Part L regarding insulation). Don't worry, though; we've dealt with local authorities across the North West for years. We can provide all the advice you need to ensure your project is fully compliant and above board.
