Sagging Roof in Chester-le-Street
A visibly sagging roof is structural, not cosmetic. It means rafters, purlins or the ridge beam have moved — usually from water damage, undersized timbers, or a previous heavy-tile conversion that the structure couldn't carry. We survey, photograph, and refer to a structural engineer if needed. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Pelton and Sacriston-edge.

Chester-le-Street-specific context
Wetter than the coastal towns — guttering and valley clearance is a much bigger source of leaks here than wind damage. Stone-faced terraces around the historic centre, plus newer estate housing through Great Lumley and Pelton.
