Years of experience, professionalism and competitive prices are the reasons why Broughton Roofing have developed into a trusted, reliable company across Lancashire. From leaking flat roof repairs, pitch roof repairs to total replacement or just advice on which roof or guttering, Jamie and Kyle are happy to help. Broughton Roofing was founded by Jamie who started learning his trade when he left school, working under his fathers guidance. Kyle started out as an apprentice for Jamie and is now a partner in the business. "We specialise in covering flat roofs with synthetic rubber from
tyre giants Firestone. There are no joints to cause leaks as it is sold in single sheets big enough for most roofs. Firestone RubberCover has a 20-year material warranty but can last up to 50 years. “If holed, it is easily repaired and needs little or no maintenance." says Kyle.
“We fit in around our customers’ lives. If you cannot see us until the evening, we will see you then.
Jamie says: “As well as flat roofing installations and flat roof repairs we also supply and fit UPVC guttering, fascias and soffits, roof lights and lead work plus Velux window installation.
“Nothing is too much trouble for us and if you need a job promptly, we are prepared to work seven days a week to deliver it on time.” Call now for a free, no obligation quote.
