Roof Damage Reports & Repairs, Houghton
Most Houghton householders only find out their roof is damaged when the ceiling stains. By that point the insurer needs to see the damage was sudden and weather-related, not gradual wear. Our reports draw that line clearly. We're regularly on roofs close to the A690, through Newbottle and Hetton-edge.

Insurance roof claims in Houghton — FAQs
Do you deal directly with the insurance company?+
Yes, if you want us to. Most clients prefer we send the report and quote straight to the adjuster and copy them in — it removes the back-and-forth.
How quickly can you produce the report?+
Usually within 48 hours of the survey. If the roof is actively leaking we'll make-safe on the day and write the report the same evening.
Will you match the existing tiles or slates?+
On Houghton roofs that usually means sourcing reclaimed to match — new concrete tiles next to 40-year-old ones stand out. We source and price the match into the quote.
Do you cover all of Houghton?+
Yes — DH4 – DH5 in full, plus Sunderland, Hetton, Chester-le-Street.
