Sagging Roof in Gateshead
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 western bypass, out around Team Valley Trading Estate, through Low Fell and Felling.

Gateshead-specific context
Exposed ridges above the Team Valley catch high cross-winds — mortar-only ridge bedding tends to crack within 8–10 years. Hilly streets of Edwardian terraces in Low Fell and Bensham, post-war semis through Wrekenton, and a growing belt of new-build estates around Dunston and Team Valley.
