Roof Repointing — Sunderland & SR1 – SR6
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 A19, out around Sunderland Enterprise Park, through Roker and Fulwell.

Sunderland context
Sunderland is our home city. We know which streets in Hendon still have 1900s rafters, which Roker terraces have been re-felted in the last decade, and where chimneys haven't been touched since the pits closed. Regular access via A19 and A1231. We're often out around Sunderland Enterprise Park.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Coastal terraces in Roker and Fulwell, ex-colliery rows in Hendon and Pennywell, and 1960s semis through Castletown — many with original Welsh slate still in service.
Weather considerations
Salt-laden coastal air corrodes ferrous fixings and degrades old underlays quickly, so we always specify stainless or galvanised replacements close to the seafront.
