Weatherproof where roofs meet walls

Junctions are where roofs most often let water in: around chimneys, valleys, walls and extensions. Lead flashing and bossing, done properly, seals these awkward areas.

We repair or renew worn lead, and tell you honestly if a small repair is enough. Every job starts with a free survey and a clear written quote with no hidden costs.

Roofing Reviews

What our customers say about Upright Roofing

Real feedback from homeowners in Preston, Leyland, Chorley and across Lancashire. From repairs to complete new roofs, John and the team treat every home like their own.

Our chimney stack was crumbling and I was worried it was getting dangerous. John repointed the whole stack, replaced the flashing and fitted a new cowl. He sent photos of each stage so I could see exactly what was done. Reliable, tidy and great value.

Steve C.Chimney Repairs

Very happy with the new gutters and downpipes. Everything was fitted neatly and the leaks we had before are gone. The start date moved by a day because of rain, but John phoned ahead to let us know. Good work at a fair price.

Julie A.Guttering

We had three quotes for a full re-roof and Upright Roofing were the most honest about what was actually needed. The crew worked hard in changeable weather, protected our garden and finished a day early. The roof looks fantastic and we have had lots of compliments.

Tom B.New Roof

A few slipped tiles were letting water in above our front door. John gave us a clear quote over the phone, came out two days later and sorted it in under two hours. No fuss and no hard sell. We have recommended him to our neighbours already.

Emma J.Roof Repairs

Excellent lead work around our extension. You can tell John takes real pride in his work.

Paul W.Lead Work

We needed new guttering, fascias and soffits all round the house. The team arrived early, worked neatly in all weather and finished in one day. The old gutters were taken away, the garden was left tidy and the price was very reasonable. Friendly, honest and professional from the first phone call to the last.

Lisa P.Guttering

Quick to quote, turned up on time and the chimney repair looks brilliant. Great communication throughout.

Mark H.Chimney Repairs

Our flat roof had leaked for years and two other firms had only patched it. John took the time to find the real cause, stripped it back and fitted a new roof properly. It has stayed completely dry through the worst weather this winter and the price was fair. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Karen T.Flat Roofing

Full new roof fitted and we could not be happier. John explained every step, kept us updated each day and left the site spotless.

David R.New Roof

We had a leak coming through the bedroom ceiling after the storms and I was dreading the cost. John came out the same week, found the cracked tiles straight away and fixed everything in a single day. He showed us photos before and after, charged exactly what he quoted and cleared up when he left. Highly recommend.
