Roofing in Jarrow and Hebburn: what to know
Jarrow and Hebburn grew up around the shipyards on the south bank of the Tyne. Near the river and the town centres there are older terraces and Tyneside flats with slate roofs and original chimneys, while further out are large areas of inter-war and post-war semis.
The older properties tend to need slate, lead and chimney repairs. The post-war estates are mostly concrete tile, and many of those roofs are now old enough that repairs keep coming back. Flat-roofed extensions and garages are common in both towns.
We cover the whole of NE31 and NE32, including Primrose, Simonside, Monkton and Hebburn New Town.
Before a storm, keep an eye on the Met Office weather warnings for the North East, and call us if you already know there is a problem with your roof.

Common roof problems we see in Jarrow and Hebburn
Catching a problem early usually means a smaller, cheaper repair.
Slipped slates
Older slate roofs lose slates as the nails rust. A few can be refixed, but widespread slipping usually means re-slating. For emergency roofing services in Jarrow, call rather than email so we can respond the same day.
Chimney stacks
Original stacks need repointing, new flaunching or new flashing to stop water getting in.
Worn concrete tiles
Porous, mossy or cracked tiles on post-war roofs often mean a re-roof is better value than more repairs.
Felt flat roofs
Extension and garage roofs in old felt crack and blister. EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass lasts much longer.
Loose ridge tiles
Cracked mortar lets ridge tiles move in high winds. Dry ridge systems fix them mechanically.
Damp patches upstairs
Brown rings on bedroom ceilings after heavy rain usually point to a slipped slate or failed flashing.
Leaks on Tyneside flats
On Tyneside flats one roof covers two homes. Leaks often start at the shared chimney or the back gutter and show up in the upstairs flat first.
Moss and algae
Concrete tiles on inter-war and post-war semis hold moss on the shaded slopes. It traps water against the tile, and frost then cracks it.
Daylight in the loft
On a bright day, go into the loft with the lights off. Any daylight coming through the underside of the roof is a clear path for water.
