Local Roofer in Houghton
Most Houghton 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. 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. We're regularly on roofs close to the A690, through Newbottle and Hetton-edge.

About us
Are you actually local?+
Yes — Sunderland-based, on-site across Houghton 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 does frost damage mortar so badly?+
Water sits in the mortar, freezes and expands, and each cycle opens the joint slightly further. On an exposed stack that can be dozens of cycles a winter, which is why flaunching and pointing fail long before the brick does.
Do you do work for landlords in the area?+
Yes, including reactive repairs, scheduled maintenance and condition reports for new purchases, with paperwork and photographs written so an agent can file them straight away.
How quickly can you get to a leak in Houghton-le-Spring?+
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 Houghton-le-Spring?+
Yes, for homeowners, landlords and businesses across DH4, DH5. 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.
