Roof Inspections for Landlords, Houghton

Landlords with property in Houghton usually don't hear about the roof until a tenant reports a damp patch — by which point the fix costs three times what a spring inspection would have cost. We run scheduled roof checks that keep small problems small. We're regularly on roofs close to the A690, through Newbottle and Hetton-edge.

  • Annual or bi-annual inspection with written condition report
  • Priority-ranked fix list — urgent, this-year, next-year
  • Fixed-price maintenance visits so you can budget the year
  • Direct invoicing to letting agents or property managers
  • Void-period turnarounds — we book to fit between tenancies
  • Portfolio pricing on 3+ properties

Houghton rental stock — what to expect

Inland and elevated — frost damage to ridge mortar is a more common cause of leaks here than coastal corrosion. That plays out differently on rentals — tenants report leaks late, and by the time we're on the roof the felt underlay is often the real problem, not the tile that let the water in.

HMO-specific work

HMO roofs often carry more penetrations — extra bathroom vents, additional flues, sometimes fire-escape roof lights. Each is a potential leak point and each needs checking on its own.

Coverage

DH4 – DH5 in full, plus Sunderland, Hetton, Chester-le-Street. Fast access off the A690.

Landlord roof services in Houghton — FAQs

Do you invoice the letting agent or the landlord?+

Whichever you set up. Most agents want a purchase-order number and 30-day terms — that's fine. Direct-to-landlord is fine too.

Can you attend without the tenant present?+

For external roof work, yes — we don't need internal access unless there's a suspected leak coming into a specific room. We'll always confirm the tenant's been notified.

Do you offer portfolio pricing?+

Yes — 3+ properties gets a discounted per-visit rate, and we'll do a whole-portfolio audit at cost if you're new to us.

Do you cover all of Houghton?+

Yes — DH4 – DH5 and the surrounding villages. We work across the North East so a multi-town portfolio isn't a problem.
