Cottam, Lancashire

Roofing & Exterior Work in Cottam

Cottam sits open to the Lancashire weather, so roofs and exteriors take a battering over the years. We repair and replace tiles, sort out ridges, flashings, fascias, soffits and guttering, and repoint or re-render where needed. Keeping the outside of your Cottam home watertight protects everything within. We work safely at height, clear up afterwards and leave the property looking smart and properly weatherproof.

Building work in Cottam

Cottam has grown quickly, so much of it is modern housing built over recent decades, with brick estates and cul-de-sacs spreading out towards Ingol, Tanterton and Cadley. Alongside these you still find older farmhouses and cottages nearer the rural fringes by Lea and Lightfoot Green. Common work here covers extensions on newer family homes, garage and loft conversions, along with updates to properties that have aged since first build.

Do you repoint and repair render in Cottam?

Can you extend or update a modern estate house in Cottam?

Absolutely. Much of Cottam is newer estate housing, and we do plenty of extensions, garage conversions and internal alterations on these homes. We take care to match the existing brick and style so the work looks part of the original house rather than an obvious add-on, keeping your street frontage tidy.

Do you work on older properties near the rural edges of Cottam?

We do. Towards Lea and Lightfoot Green you find older farmhouses and cottages that need a more careful hand. We are used to renovating and repairing traditional Lancashire properties, respecting their character while bringing insulation, layouts and services up to modern, comfortable standards for everyday family living.
