Old, failing, deteriorating roof. Choose the right roofing company for the job.

any homes across the Fylde coast have roofs which have reached the end of there natural lives and have been repaired poorly or simply in an attempt to prolong the inevitable.

With wet, windy winters it’s obvious that the average age of a roof would be reduced somewhat and be in need of a complete replacement.

Finding the right roofing company to undertake such a large task is probably the most important decision you will make as a home owner.

Company director of Wyles Roofing Ltd, Martin Wyles believes he has the formula that works from start to finish, he commented “what has made us so successful is our level of customer communication and service. We genuinely care about every job and always give a fixed written quote before we commence work that will not change under any circumstance.

14

We know that we are very different to most of our competitors locally and that has what has built our reputation as being the best” It can be very tempting to go for a cheaper roof repair from a small independent roofer but most of the time the money spent is simply wasted.

Patt McGough, Wyles Roofing’s contracts manager explains “We really do spend half our time chasing around after other roofers who do don’t the job properly or who are not willing to come back after the job is complete, which is saddening to say the least.

All our replacement roofs are registered with the Competent Roofer Scheme which will firstly give you building regulations approval and certification and secondly be backed up with an insurance guarantee. It’s good to work for a company that I have full confidence and faith in” If you are unsure on work you have had carried out or you want a professional opinion on your roof you can call 01253 355553 and there is a professional team waiting to take you call or alternatively email contact@wylesroofing.com
