Roofers who know Clitheroe
Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley sit just over Pendle Hill from our Colne base. We work across the town and the villages around it, Whalley, Sabden, Chatburn, Waddington, Read and Downham among them, on roof replacements, chimney work, lead work and repairs.
The Ribble Valley has a high proportion of stone-built houses and cottages, many of them in conservation areas or with real character. Roofing here is as much about getting the look right as keeping the weather out: matching slate, careful lead detailing and chimneys that suit the building.
Because Clitheroe is a short drive from Colne, we can inspect promptly and keep a close eye on jobs, which matters on older properties where you want someone experienced making decisions on site.

Planning a new roof in Clitheroe
Most homeowners in Clitheroe 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 Clitheroe 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 Clitheroe saves you paying for access twice.
Common roof problems in Clitheroe
Character and conservation
Many properties in Clitheroe and the surrounding villages sit in conservation areas or have features worth keeping. Using the wrong slate or replacing lead with cheaper alternatives can spoil the look of a building. We talk through materials so the finished roof suits the property and the street.
Stone stacks and lime mortar
Older stone chimneys were built with softer mortars. Repointing with hard cement can trap moisture and damage the stone. We match the repair approach to the material so the stack can breathe and last.
Barn conversions and complex roofs
Converted barns and large farmhouses often have long roof slopes, valleys and roof windows. These details need careful lead work and proper detailing to stay watertight.
Exposure around Pendle Hill
Villages on the slopes of Pendle and out towards the Forest of Bowland are exposed to strong winds and heavy rain. Ridges, verges and flashings take the brunt of it, and we see storm damage regularly after winter gales.
