Durham's mix of heritage stone, Victorian brick and new-build means there's no single 'Durham roof' — and we're set up to handle all of them.

    Response: ~15 minutes from our Spennymoor base. From our Spennymoor base we're typically in Durham (DH1) within 15–25 minutes. Same-day attendance for active leaks where possible.

      Conservation-area experience

    Common In Durham

    Local roof problems
    we see most often.

    Every area has its quirks — climate, building age, exposure. Here's what we run into most in Durham.

    Conservation areas and listed properties

    Large parts of central Durham fall within conservation areas with strict expectations about materials and detailing. We work in lime mortars, natural slate and traditional lead — and we're comfortable liaising with conservation officers when required.

    Older slate roofs at end of life

    Many Victorian terraces in Gilesgate and Neville's Cross are still on their original Welsh slate, with felt and battens long past serviceable life. We carry out sympathetic re-roofs that retain the property's character without compromising performance.

    Chimneys exposed on the river escarpment

    Chimneys on properties along the Wear escarpment take heavy weather year-round. Repointing and renewed lead flashings are common needs on these stacks.

    Student-let maintenance

    We work with several local landlords on student-let portfolios, providing fast turnaround on guttering, repairs and inspections during summer changeover.
