Roofers in Stanley

Stanley and the villages around it were built for the pits, and a lot of that housing is now well past the age where original fixings can be trusted. Add elevation and a good deal of weather, and you get the two jobs we do most here: re-covering tired roofs properly, and putting right repairs that were done cheaply a decade ago.

  • Free survey at roof level with photographs of what we find
  • Written quote by email, itemised, no follow up sales call
  • Leaks and make safes attended Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm
  • Domestic and commercial, no subcontractors on our jobs
  • Checkatrade verified score of 9.86

Housing stock in Stanley

Former colliery terraces through Stanley, South Moor, Craghead and Annfield Plain, interwar and post war estate housing, and scattered rural property out towards the Beamish and Tanfield areas.

Roof types we see most in Stanley

Slate on the older terraced rows, much of it on failing nails, and concrete tile on everything built since the war. There is also a lot of previously patched work, cement fillets in place of lead and mortar bodged flashings, which we routinely strip out and re-form properly.

Weather and exposure here

Elevated and open, with real wind exposure and more frost than the coastal towns. Mortar bedded details do not last well here, and any chimney that has not been pointed in thirty years will be showing it.

Streets, access and getting to you

Terraced rows generally have rear lanes, and the estates and rural property are easy enough. It is a slightly longer run for us than the Tyneside towns, so we tend to programme Stanley work in blocks, which keeps the price sensible.

Roofing in Stanley, common questions

Should a cement fillet be replaced with lead?+

Yes, wherever there is a joint between the roof and a wall or stack. Cement cracks because the two materials move differently, and once it cracks it channels water in. Properly dressed lead is the permanent answer.

Are old colliery terrace roofs worth re-slating?+

Often yes. The slate itself is frequently still good and the nails are what has failed, so salvaging and re-laying over new underlay and batten gives you a roof with decades left for less than a full new material cost.

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

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 Stanley?+

Yes, for homeowners, landlords and businesses across DH9. 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.
