At Durham’s Roofer, we know that homes in Durham, Gilesgate, Bishop Auckland, Chester‑le‑Street and Consett face real roofing challenges. Many houses are old stone or brick‑built with slate or clay tiled roofs, often steep and exposed to wind, rain, snow. Leaks, slipped slates, damaged lead flashings, clogged gutters and storm damage are everyday problems here. Local competition may promise speed, but few combine speed, reliability and fair price like us.
Why choose Durham’s Roofer for roof leak repairs in Durham? First, we respond fast. When a homeowner in Gilesgate called last month with water dripping through a bedroom ceiling from a slipped slate after heavy wind, we were on site the same morning. Our roofer replaced five slates, refitted the lead flashing around the chimney, resealed valley gutters, cleaned moss and debris. Result: no more leaks, roof restored before the next rain.
Second, we use quality materials suited to Durham climate. Slate roofs need firestone slates or Welsh slate, proper lead or lead‑look flashing, secure fixings. Tile roofs require breathable felt beneath tiles, correct tiling battens. Gutters are replaced or cleared with durable aluminium or virgin PVC.
Third, our team are local experts. We know Durham’s conservation areas, planning requirements in Framwellgate Moor, Belmont, or Barnard Castle. We understand slate roofs on terraced houses in Gilesgate or old halls in Whickham need special care. We also serve Chester‑le‑Street, Durham City, Sacriston and Crook with same commitment.
Fourth, pricing is transparent and competitive. We give free inspection, honest quotation, no hidden fees. If leak repairs involve a few slates, flashing or gutter work, you pay only what’s needed.
If you notice damp patches, ceiling stains, dripping during storms, or gutters overflowing in Pittington or Sherburn, call Durham’s Roofer now. We will inspect, diagnose, fix the leak fast so minor damage doesn’t grow into big repair cost. Trust a local business that knows Durham inside out.
