Roofers in Westhoughton, BL5
Boardman Roofing covers Westhoughton for booked planned work. This old coal and cotton town includes miners' terraces and estates around Daisy Hill and Wingates, with slate, tile and flat roofing needs.
Two Westhoughtons on one roof map
The old town is terraces and cottages from the pit and mill years, slate or stone slate over softwood rafters with lime bedded ridges. The rest of BL5 is estate housing: concrete interlocking tile, shallow pitches, mono pitch garages and long runs of plastic gutter. Both wear out differently. On the older stock it is nail fatigue in the slates, lead patched with mastic once too often and chimney mortar gone to sand. On the estates it is the tile itself, eroded and porous, with felt torn back off the eaves so water runs behind the fascia.
Reroofs and dry fix on exposed BL5 property
A three bedroom estate semi around Wingates or Fourgates gets fully stripped and recovered in good interlocking tile with breather membrane, treated battens, dry ridge, dry verge, fresh lead to the chimney and scaffold included. The quote turns on the roof area, the pitch, how much batten and rafter foot is found rotten once the tile is off, and how a scaffold stands on the plot. We will not put a dry verge onto rotten bargeboards just to make it look tidy from the street; we check the timber first. Dave prices it in writing after the survey, with no obligation. Dry fix matters in a town this open. Mortar bedded ridge and verge looks fine for a decade, then fails every windy winter, so on a Chequerbent roof catching wind off open ground a mechanically fixed system is money well spent.

Flat roofs, chimneys and gutters
The estates came with garages and most houses have gained an extension or a dormer, so there is a great deal of flat roofing here. Old three layer felt lasts fifteen to twenty years, then blisters and lets go at the trims. We strip to the deck, replace soft boarding and recover in EPDM, GRP or torch on. A single garage is a smaller piece of work than a wider extension roof wanting new firrings, and the deck area, the amount of rotten boarding and the number of trims and outlets decide it. Gutter, fascia and soffit on a semi follows the length of the runs and whether the eaves are worked off a tower. Dave prices either in writing once he has looked, with no obligation.
