Roofers who know Chorley
We carry out roof replacements, solar installations and roofing work across Chorley and the surrounding villages, including Adlington, Euxton, Coppull and Whittle-le-Woods. Full re-roofs and solar projects are the work we're most often asked about here.
Chorley's housing ranges from red-brick Victorian terraces near the town centre to inter-war and post-war semis, bungalows and large modern estates. That means a real mix of roofs: Welsh slate on older terraces, concrete tiles on mid-century homes and modern interlocking tiles on newer builds.
Chorley lies between the West Pennine Moors and the Lancashire plain, so roofs take regular westerly rain and wind. We travel to Chorley from our Colne base and plan every job carefully.

Planning a new roof in Chorley
Most homeowners in Chorley 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 Chorley 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 Chorley saves you paying for access twice.
Common roof problems in Chorley
Original slate on brick terraces
Many of Chorley's terraces still carry their original slate. Corroded nails and perished battens cause slates to slip, and once that spreads, a full re-roof is better value than repeated repairs.
Concrete tile roofs on mid-century homes
Semis and bungalows built after the war often have concrete tiles that have become porous, with felt underneath that has broken down. A full replacement with a breathable membrane and new battens fixes the root cause.
Ageing flat roofs
Garages, porches and rear extensions often have old felt flat roofs that blister and pond water. We replace them with systems covered by a 25-year manufacturer product guarantee.
Good roofs for solar
Many semis, detached homes and bungalows have open roof slopes suited to solar panels. We check the roof first and fit the panels as roofers, so the covering stays watertight.
