Roof Repointing — Chester-le-Street & DH2 – DH3
Repointing covers ridges, hips, verges, valleys and stack chases. Failed pointing lets water into the underlay, then into the ceiling. A proper repoint uses matched mortar — lime on heritage, sand-cement on modern — and is guaranteed for 10 years. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Pelton and Sacriston-edge.

Chester-le-Street context
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. Regular access via A1(M) and A167.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Stone-faced terraces around the historic centre, plus newer estate housing through Great Lumley and Pelton.
Weather considerations
Wetter than the coastal towns — guttering and valley clearance is a much bigger source of leaks here than wind damage.
