Sagging Roof in Sunderland
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 A19, out around Sunderland Enterprise Park, through Roker and Fulwell.

Sunderland-specific context
Salt-laden coastal air corrodes ferrous fixings and degrades old underlays quickly, so we always specify stainless or galvanised replacements close to the seafront. 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.

Is a sagging roof dangerous?+
It can be — depends on how far it's gone and whether the timbers are still sound. Don't put it off; we'll tell you straight whether it's urgent or monitored.
