Roofers in Consett

Consett sits high, and altitude changes roofing. Wind loads are higher, snow lies longer, and freeze and thaw runs through more cycles a winter than it does down on the coast. A roof detail that is perfectly adequate in Wallsend can be marginal up here, and we spec accordingly rather than copying a lowland job.

Weather and exposure here

The defining factor. Sustained high winds, more snow than anywhere else we cover, and repeated freezing. Snow that lies and then melts under a warm loft refreezes at the cold eaves, which is the classic cause of water backing up under the covering. Ventilation and eaves detail matter more here than almost anywhere.

Housing stock in Consett

Former steel town housing, with terraced rows and interwar stock in the town, large post war estates, and stone built property and converted farm buildings in the surrounding villages and out towards the Derwent valley.

Streets, access and getting to you

Rural and semi rural access is usually generous but exposed, so scaffold has to be tied and braced properly and we will not work a roof in a gale for anyone. We plan weather windows honestly and would rather move a date than hurry a detail.

Roof types we see most in Consett

Slate and stone slate on the older and rural property, concrete tile across the estates, and a significant number of exposed gable ends and verges that take the full force of the wind. Chimney stacks up here are tall and hard worked.

Roofing in Consett, common questions

Why does water come in when snow melts rather than when it rains?+

Snow melting over a warm loft runs down to the cold eaves and refreezes, forming a dam that pushes water back up under the covering. It is an insulation and ventilation problem as much as a roofing one, and it is common on high ground.

Do exposed roofs need extra fixing?+

Yes. On high, wind exposed sites we increase clipping and mechanically fix verges and ridges rather than relying on mortar. It is a modest cost at the time and it is what keeps the roof on.

How quickly can you get to a leak in Consett?+

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 Consett?+

Yes, for homeowners, landlords and businesses across DH8. 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.
