Porch Roof Replacement in Houghton
Porch roofs leak into the front door head — usually because the lead apron has lifted or the small flat top has porous felt. A proper repair re-details the apron into the brickwork and replaces the top with GRP or liquid. We're regularly on roofs close to the A690, through Newbottle and Hetton-edge.
- Lead apron renewed (Code 4 or 5)
- GRP, liquid or single-ply top options
- Pointing made good above the flashing chase
- Drip edge over the door head — no run-back
- Half-day job in most cases
Why Houghton homeowners ask us for this
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.

Why does my porch leak only in driving rain?+
Almost always wind-driven water tracking behind a lifted lead apron or a failed flashing chase. The flat top is rarely the source.
