FAQs — Wigan
Do you work on bungalows and dormers in Wigan?
Yes — both are bread-and-butter for us, particularly in WN1 where bungalows and dormer extensions are common.
Can you start a Ridge Tile Re-Bedding & Re-Pointing job in Wigan this month?
Usually yes for repairs and most flat roof jobs. Full re-roofs typically have a 2-4 week lead time depending on scaffold and material availability.
Are you insured to work on roofs in Wigan?
We hold £2m public liability and full employer's liability. Documentation can be emailed to you, your insurer or your managing agent ahead of the start date.
Will loose ridge tiles fail a home survey in Wigan?
Almost always flagged as 'requires attention' — sometimes as a category 3 defect. A written quote from us usually satisfies the buyer's surveyor while the sale progresses.
What's the difference between re-pointing and re-bedding ridge tiles?
Re-pointing tops up the mortar joint. Re-bedding lifts the tiles, cleans everything back, and lays a fresh mortar bed underneath. If tiles are already loose in Wigan, re-bedding is the right fix.
Will you tidy up properly after the job in Wigan?
Every day on site ends with magnets over the driveway, lead offcuts removed, and a final skip lift before we leave. We don't leave nail mountains in your border.
