Roof Repairs in Blackburn

Roof Repairs for Blackburn homes

In Blackburn, long streets of Victorian brick terraces built for the mills sit alongside larger villas and inter-war and modern housing. Roofs here are mostly stone slate and Welsh slate on the older properties and concrete tiles on the newer ones, and the most common call-outs are for slipped slates, loose ridge tiles and tired flashings. Blackburn sits beneath the Bowland fells, where rain rolls in from the west and roofs, chimneys and gutters get a thorough soaking through the winter. Most of those faults can be put right with a well-made repair, as long as it is done with matching materials and proper fixings rather than a tube of sealant.

Around Preston and the Ribble Valley, common repairs range from slipped slates on Victorian terraces to failed valleys and chimney flashings on older stone properties.

Every repair starts with photographs, so you can see exactly what we have found before any work starts. If a repair is the right answer, we will say so. If the roof is past the point where repairs make sense, we will tell you that honestly too.
