Roofers who know Burnley
Burnley is just down the road from our Colne base, and it's one of the towns where we carry out the most work. From the terraced streets of Burnley Wood, Daneshouse and Rosegrove to the larger semis and detached homes out towards Worsthorne, Cliviger and Read, we know the housing stock well.
Being a short drive away means we can get out to inspect roofs in Burnley without a long wait, and our team can be on site early and keep work moving. For homeowners, that means less time with scaffolding up and a team that's easy to reach throughout the job.
Burnley grew rapidly during the cotton era, and a large share of its homes date from that period. Many are now on their original or second roof coverings, and that's why full roof replacements make up a big part of what we do here, alongside chimney work, flat roofs on rear extensions and solar installations on newer properties.

Planning a new roof in Burnley
Most homeowners in Burnley only replace a roof once, so it pays to know what a proper job involves before you compare quotes. A full replacement means stripping the old covering right back to the rafters. That lets us check every timber, replace anything rotten or weakened, and fit a new breathable membrane and new treated battens before the slates or tiles go back on. Quotes that skip the strip and simply overlay or patch can look cheaper, but they hide problems that shorten the life of the new roof.
Every full roof replacement we carry out in Burnley is overseen by building control. That gives you an independent check on the standard of work, and the paperwork you'll want when you come to sell. It also carries a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, so the guarantee stands even if anything were to happen to the business.
The details are where roofs in Lancashire tend to fail: ridges, verges, valleys, chimney flashings and the junctions with neighbouring roofs. We spend time on these because the weather here finds every weak spot. Where it suits the property, we can fit mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that don't rely on mortar, and we renew lead where it meets chimneys and walls rather than patching it with sealant.
We keep you updated as the work happens. Payments are made in stages as the work progresses, never everything up front. If you're also thinking about solar panels, fitting them while the scaffolding is up in Burnley saves you paying for access twice.
Common roof problems in Burnley
Terraces on their original roofs
Thousands of Burnley terraces were built in a short period, which means many of their roofs are reaching the end of their life at the same time. Typical issues are slipped slates, perished or missing felt, and battens that have rotted where water has been getting in for years. When a roof is at that stage, re-roofing is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.
Concrete tiles on post-war homes
Burnley's post-war estates are often roofed in concrete interlocking tiles. These become porous over time, gather moss, and the mortar on ridges and verges cracks and falls out. Replacing these roofs lets us upgrade to modern breathable membranes and mechanically fixed ridges that won't need re-bedding.
Pennine rainfall
Burnley sits in a bowl surrounded by moorland, and rainfall is high compared with much of England. Gutters, valleys and flashings all take a lot of water. Blocked or undersized gutters overflow onto stonework, and failed valleys are a common leak point we see across the town.
Rear outriggers and flat roofs
Many Burnley terraces have rear outriggers or later extensions with flat roofs. Older felt coverings on these are a frequent source of leaks into kitchens and bathrooms. We replace them with systems covered by a 25-year manufacturer product guarantee.
