Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne (NE postcodes — not Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire) has genuinely mixed housing — a Heaton Tyneside flat needs a very different roof plan to a 1930s Fenham semi or a Quayside apartment block, so we never quote 'off the shelf'.
- Gosforth
- Jesmond
- Heaton
- Byker
- Walker
- Fenham
- Kenton
- Benwell
Sunderland
Sunderland is our home city. We know which streets in Hendon still have 1900s rafters, which Roker terraces have been re-felted in the last decade, and where chimneys haven't been touched since the pits closed.
- Roker
- Fulwell
- Seaburn
- Hendon
- Pennywell
- Ryhope
- Castletown
Gateshead
Gateshead spans a steep landscape — roofs in Low Fell sit on top of long Victorian terraces while Team Valley industrial units are mostly profiled metal. Two completely different jobs, both regular for us.
- Low Fell
- Felling
- Dunston
- Wrekenton
- Whickham
- Blaydon
- Bensham
South Shields
South Shields properties face genuine coastal exposure. Lead flashings around bays and chimneys take the brunt of the weather, and that's where most leaks we're called to actually start.
- Westoe
- Whiteleas
- Harton
- Marsden
- Cleadon Park
North Shields
North Shields housing leans older near the river and newer towards Royal Quays. Moss growth on north-facing pitches is the single most common reason we get called out here.
- Preston
- Chirton
- Percy Main
- Royal Quays
- Howdon-edge
Whitley Bay
Whitley Bay roofs work harder than most. Coastal villas and Monkseaton semis pick up salt corrosion that inland properties never see, so we always inspect lead detail first.
- Monkseaton
- Earsdon
- Cullercoats
- Hartley
- West Monkseaton
Tynemouth
Tynemouth has some of the most architecturally sensitive roofs we work on — Welsh slate, leadwork around bays, and heritage stonework around the Priory all need a careful approach.
- Cullercoats
- Preston Village
- Tynemouth Village
Jarrow
Jarrow is dominated by long terraced rows where one property's roof issue often signals what's coming for the neighbours. Re-pointing chimneys and re-bedding ridges accounts for most of the work we do here.
- Primrose
- Monkton
- Hebburn-edge
- Bede
Hebburn
Hebburn's housing is more uniform than its neighbours — mostly 1950s–1970s semis with concrete tiles. Most of those tiles are now into their second life and need ridge/valley attention rather than full strip and re-cover.
- Hedworth
- Wardley
- Monkton-edge
Wallsend
Wallsend roofs sit close enough to the river that wind-driven rain is the recurring enemy. Most of our work here is gable flashing repair and chimney pointing rather than full re-roofs.
- Battle Hill
- High Farm
- Howdon
- Willington Quay
Washington
Washington is unusual locally — the original new-town design means most properties share similar interlocking concrete tiles, and many roofs are reaching their 50-year mark together. Planned re-roofs are a big part of our work here.
- Concord
- Sulgrave
- Oxclose
- Albany
- Fatfield
- Glebe
Houghton-le-Spring
Houghton sits just inland and uphill from Sunderland. Frost cycles damage ridge mortar far more aggressively here than near the coast, so we often replace wet-bedded ridges with dry systems when re-roofing.
- Newbottle
- Hetton-edge
- Easington Lane
- Penshaw
- Shiney Row
Seaham
Seaham is genuinely coastal. We see corroded fixings and pitted lead far more often here than 5 miles inland, and we always recommend stainless replacements where we can.
- Dawdon
- Parkside
- Deneside
- Murton-edge
Chester-le-Street
Chester-le-Street's older stone properties usually have natural slate. The single most useful thing we can do on those roofs is keep valleys and parapet gutters genuinely clear — most 'leaks' here turn out to be overflow events.
- Pelton
- Sacriston-edge
- Great Lumley
- Plawsworth
Cramlington
Cramlington's exposed inland position means we tend to specify mechanically fixed verges and extra perimeter fixings — wind uplift here genuinely is a different problem than in sheltered Tyneside streets.
- Eastfield
- Mayfield
- Beaconhill
- Annitsford
- Seghill
Blyth
Blyth sits at the edge of the working port and the open North Sea. Industrial flat roofs and coastal slate dominate our workload here — and lead flashings need closer attention than anywhere else inland.
- Cowpen
- Newsham
- South Beach
- Bebside
Peterlee
Peterlee was built in one big planned wave, so a lot of its roofs are reaching the end of their original design life together. Insurance-related storm repairs in Horden and Easington also keep us busy.
- Horden
- Easington Colliery
- Blackhall
- Wingate
- Shotton Colliery
Morpeth
Morpeth's roofs are older and more architecturally sensitive than the average North East town. Heritage slate, traditional leadwork and proper frost-rated mortar make the difference here.
- Stobhill
- Loansdean
- Hepscott
- Mitford
Ashington
Ashington's housing is dominated by terraced colliery streets where roof age is consistent across whole rows. Strategic ridge and valley work on those streets is far more cost-effective than reactive single-tile repairs.
- Hirst
- Newbiggin-edge
- Lynemouth
- North Seaton
Bedlington
Bedlington has a mix of stone-era and modern housing — and that means we move between traditional slate skills and modern concrete-tile re-roofs all in the same week locally.
- Bedlington Station
- Stakeford
- Choppington
- Guide Post
Birtley
Birtley is small but well-connected — most of the call-outs we attend here are valley blockages and chimney repointing on older terraces, not full re-roofs.
- Lamesley
- Kibblesworth
- Ouston
- Pelaw-edge
Killingworth
Killingworth was a planned settlement, so concrete-tile roofs dominate. Ridge clamps and verge clips do most of the work in keeping those roofs safe through winter, and they're often the first thing to fail.
- West Moor
- Forest Hall
- Backworth-edge
- Palmersville
Boldon
Boldon splits between higher-value East Boldon properties and the older Colliery stock — and we approach those very differently. Heritage-grade detail in one and value-focused durability in the other.
- West Boldon
- East Boldon
- Cleadon
- Boldon Colliery
Hetton-le-Hole
Hetton's older terraces share a common problem: original ridge mortar from the 1970s or 1980s is now well past its useful life and freezes apart most winters. Planned ridge replacement is far cheaper than the repeat repair cycle.
- Easington Lane
- Eppleton
- Elemore Vale
Murton
Murton's terraced rows behave like a single roof in many ways — fix one chimney and the neighbour's is usually next. We routinely quote runs of three or four houses together to keep costs sensible.
- South Hetton
- Easington-edge
- Dalton-le-Dale
