Newcastle has a lot of Victorian and Edwardian roofs: Welsh slate, tall chimney stacks, lead valleys and ornate ridges. They last a long time when they are looked after, and leak badly when they are not.
We repair what can be repaired, and tell you honestly when a roof is past it. If a re-roof turns into new dormers or a loft conversion, the same firm does it.
In Jesmond, Heaton, Sandyford and Fenham, long terraces share roof lines and chimney stacks with neighbours, so we plan scaffold and access around the street and talk to next door when work affects a shared stack.
Conservation areas in parts of Jesmond, Gosforth and the city centre can require natural slate, retained chimneys and consent for rooflights at the front. We check with Newcastle City Council before quoting materials.
We work across Newcastle from our Durham and Sunderland bases, with vans on Tyneside every day. Planning and building control are handled by Newcastle City Council.

A clear, transparent quote setting out what's included, assumed and excluded, with a payment structure. Confidence in what you're accepting, not a one-line price.
Once you're happy, we sort dates, materials, access and building control before anyone lifts a tool, so the job runs smoothly on site.
Our team arrives clear on the agreed scope, keeps the site tidy, communicates as we go and respects your home throughout.
