Local Roofer in Chester-le-Street
Most Chester-le-Street homeowners we work with found us by word of mouth — a neighbour's re-roof, a quayside flat roof, a chimney rebuild that didn't leak again. 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. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Pelton and Sacriston-edge.

About us
Are you actually local?+
Yes — Sunderland-based, on-site across Chester-le-Street most weeks. Not a national franchise.
Do you charge for quotes?+
No. Survey and written quote are free with no obligation.
Can you do everything in-house?+
Yes — flat, pitched, repair, lead, scaffold liaison, commercial. We don't subcontract the trade.
Why do bungalow roofs need so much ventilation work?+
Large shallow lofts with insulation pushed tight into the eaves have nowhere for air to move, so moisture from the house condenses on the underside of the felt. It looks exactly like a leak and it is fixed with eaves and ridge ventilation, not a new roof.
Should older stone property be pointed in lime?+
Where the original mortar is lime and the stone is soft, yes. Hard cement traps moisture in the face of the stone and the frost then spalls it, which is a much more expensive problem than a pointing job.
How quickly can you get to a leak in Chester-le-Street?+
We aim to attend leaks and make safes the same or next working day, Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm. We stop the water first, then quote the permanent repair once we have photographed what caused it. Call 07840 996627.
Is the survey really free in Chester-le-Street?+
Yes, for homeowners, landlords and businesses across DH2, DH3. We get to roof level, photograph the condition and email a written quote. If your roof does not need work yet, we will say so in writing.
