Fix it properly, first time
Your roof protects your home from rain, wind and cold. Over time, weather and general wear take their toll, and small problems such as a slipped slate or a crack in the mortar can let water in and lead to damp patches, rotten timber and damaged ceilings.
We carry out roof repairs in North Tyneside and Newcastle every week, from North Shields and Tynemouth to Wallsend, Whitley Bay and Killingworth. Every repair starts with finding the real cause, not just patching where the stain appears.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about roof repairs in North Tyneside. If yours isn't here, give us a call.
How quickly can you repair my roof?
For active leaks we aim to respond the same day and make the roof watertight. For other repairs, we survey first and send a written quote, usually within 48 hours.
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on the size of the job, the materials and access. We offer free surveys and itemised written quotes, usually within 48 hours, with no hidden charges.
Do you repair flat roofs?
Yes. We repair felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass flat roofs. If a flat roof is beyond repair, we will explain the options for replacing it.
Is it worth repairing an old roof?
Often, yes. If the problem is local, a repair is good value. If faults are appearing all over the roof, we will tell you honestly whether a new roof makes more sense.
Do you guarantee your repairs?
Yes. Our work is covered by a workmanship guarantee, and new roofs and flat roof systems come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and employer’s liability cover, and we are happy to show certificates before work starts.
