ROOFING FAQs

Your questions about new roofs, repairs, flat roofing & more — answered by our experts in Northumberland.
How much does a new roof cost in Northumberland?

The cost of a new roof depends on the size of your property, the materials you choose (slate, tile, flat roof systems) and the complexity of the project. Roofs in the North East area can range from £ 2,000 to £ 20,000 and more. The best way to find out is to give us a call and we can give you a more detailed opinion. We will ALWAYS provide a detailed, free quote tailored to your home.

A properly installed slate or tiled roof typically lasts 40-60 years. Flat roofs (felt or EPDM rubber) last around 15-25 years. Regular maintenance helps maximise lifespan — we’re happy to advise on care.

For emergency leaks, we try to attend within 24-48 hours across Northumberland and surrounding areas. Small repairs might be completed on the spot; bigger jobs may need scaffolding and can take a few days.

Yes. We regularly work with homeowners and insurers after storm damage. We’ll assess your roof, provide a written report, and carry out the repairs to restore your home.

Felt roofs are traditional and cost-effective, while EPDM rubber is more modern and low-
maintenance, offering a longer lifespan. We install both and can advise on the best choice for your extension or garage.

Always. We offer free inspections and no-obligation quotes across Northumberland. We’ll explain what (if anything) needs doing and give you time to decide.

Yes — all our new roof installations and repairs come with a workmanship guarantee. Materials like tiles, slates or EPDM membranes also carry manufacturer warranties for added peace of mind.

Absolutely. We replace old, damaged timber with modern uPVC systems that protect your home and look great. We also repair or realign existing guttering to stop leaks.

It depends on your roof’s age and the extent of damage. Minor leaks or slipped tiles usually need simple repairs. Widespread issues on a roof over 20 years old might mean a replacement is more cost-effective long term. We’ll give you honest advice either way.
