Book a free surveyWe're five miles from Winsford and we work here most weeks — slipped slates on the Wharton terraces, full re-roofs on the Over and Swanlow estates, and the kind of emergency that started Sahar's job: water coming through the ceiling with nobody else picking up the phone. We're not the cheapest. The homeowners who call us aren't looking for the cheapest. They want the job done once, photographed start to finish, and backed by a workmanship guarantee.
Winsford is a town of two halves on the roof, and we see both. The older terraces and semis around Wharton and the town centre run natural slate on timber that's seen a hundred winters, and they leak at the flashing and the slipped slate. Then there's the big post-war and modern stock on the Over, Swanlow and Gravel estates — concrete tile, low pitches, and extension flat roofs that fail at the joints. We've worked on all of it. Winsford sits on the same old salt-mining ground as Northwich, so before we quote a re-roof we check for movement — a roof that's been pulled out of square needs different work to one that's just worn out, and we'd rather find that on the drone survey than halfway through. The Sahar job is the one Winsford people ask us about: a leak that had been 'fixed' twice already, water coming through, and a homeowner who'd been let down. We found the real entry point on the drone survey, made it watertight the same day, and went back to do it properly. That's the standard here — a drone survey before we price it, photos at every stage, and the old materials gone when we leave.
The roofer Winsford calls when the last one didn’t hold
We’re a third-generation Cheshire family, five miles down the road in Middlewich. We’re in Winsford most weeks. That matters when your roof is leaking on a Friday afternoon — we’re not coming from the other side of the county.
We’re the most-reviewed roofer in Middlewich and every review is five stars. The work is done by our own team — fully insured, in-house, no subcontractors you’ve never met turning up at your door. You deal with the same people from the quote to the final photo.
The Sahar job
Sahar’s leak had been “fixed” twice before we got there. Water was still coming through the ceiling.
That’s the most common call we get in Winsford. Another roofer climbed up, saw a stain, put mastic on the slate directly above it, and left. Three weeks later the water was back — because the stain on a ceiling is almost never under the hole. Water gets in at one point, runs along a batten, and drips somewhere else.
We flew a drone over the whole roof and found the real entry point: cracked lead around the chimney that nobody at ground level would ever see. We made it watertight the same day, then went back and did the permanent repair. It’s been dry through every winter since.

What we do in Winsford
Winsford gives us the full mix, and we do all of it:
- Repairs — slipped and cracked slates, failed flashing, ridge tiles working loose, leaks around chimneys and valleys. We find the cause with a drone survey, not guesswork.
- Re-roofs — stripping a tired roof back to the rafters, replacing felt, battens and any rotten timber, and re-covering in slate or tile. This is the big job, and it’s the one where doing it right matters most.
- Emergency cover — water coming in now. The line is answered 24/7 and we do same-day repairs. Watertight first, permanent fix booked after.
Why we check for movement first
Winsford sits on old salt workings, the same as Northwich, and parts of the town have a history of ground movement. A roof that’s been pulled out of square doesn’t behave like one that’s simply worn out. We check for that on the drone survey before we quote a re-roof — because finding it on day one is a planned job, and finding it on day four is a nasty surprise on your bill. We’d rather know.
We’re not the cheapest
We don’t compete on price and we won’t pretend to. The homeowners in Winsford who call us have usually had a cheaper job before that didn’t hold — like Sahar — and they’ve decided they’re not doing that twice.
What you get instead: a drone survey before we price the work, photos at every stage so you can see what’s under your own roof, the same insured team start to finish, and a workmanship guarantee on the work. The drive gets swept every evening and the old materials leave with us.

What Winsford homeowners say
Every review we've ever had is five stars. Here are a few from this area.
★★★★★“Two other roofers had been out and the leak kept coming back. Middlewich flew a drone over the whole roof, showed me the cracked lead around the chimney that nobody else had spotted, and that was it sorted — bone dry through the winter since. Photos before and after, drive left clean. Should have called them first.”
★★★★★“Re-roof on our semi off Swanlow Lane. They stripped it to the rafters, found a rotten purlin the last lot had just felted over, and fixed it before going on. Scaffold up and down on the days they said, and a folder of before and after photos at the end. Not the cheapest quote we had and the only one I'd have back.”
What we do in Winsford
Common questions
Can you get to a leak in Winsford the same day?
Yes. The phone line is answered 24/7 and we do same-day emergency repairs. If water's coming in we get you watertight first and book the permanent fix after. Winsford is five miles from us, so we're not coming from the other side of the county.
Do you charge to come out and quote in Winsford?
No. We fly a drone over the whole roof before we price anything, so you get an honest quote based on what's actually up there, not a guess from the pavement. Wharton, Over, Swanlow, the town centre — we're usually out within a day or two.
Another roofer 'fixed' my leak and it came back. Can you find the real problem?
Yes — that's exactly the Sahar job in Winsford. Water gets in at one point and runs along a batten before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling is almost never under the hole. We drone-survey the whole roof, find the real entry point, and fix that. You see the same photos we do.
How long does a full re-roof take on a Winsford house?
A standard semi or terrace is usually a week to ten days depending on the weather and what we find once the scaffold's up. We agree the dates before we start, sweep the drive every evening, and you get before and after photos of the whole job, backed by our workmanship guarantee.
