Small villages like Ovington need roofers who understand old stone buildings, and that is where we come in. As established roofers in Ovington and the surrounding countryside, our roofing team repairs and re-roofs cottages, farmhouses, barns and outbuildings. Ovington DL11 sits just south of the River Tees, between Barnard Castle and Darlington, and its homes are mostly built from local stone with slate or stone slate roofs. We bring the right materials and the patience these properties need.
We source natural slate, reclaimed stone slates and lime mortar for traditional roofs, with modern membranes beneath to keep lofts dry. With over 15 years installing roofs, we know when to save original materials and when they are past saving. We are fully insured, listed with Checkatrade and Yell, and give every customer a free, no-obligation quote and fully guaranteed workmanship.

Read more about roof repairs Roof repairs in OvingtonWe supply, fit and repair all types of roofing in Ovington:
Slate has a very long life because it shrugs off UV and water and is rarely affected by changes in climate. Individual slates that crack, slip or break can be replaced quickly and cheaply.

Read more about tiled roofsWith modern materials and waterproofing, a flat roof can be the right answer for extensions, garages, dormers and commercial buildings, and lasts far longer than the flat roofs of old.

Often visible from the street after high winds. Each gap lets rain reach the felt and battens.
Bubbled wallpaper, peeling paint or brown rings upstairs usually mean water is already getting in.
Ridge, hip and verge mortar breaks down with frost, leaving tiles that can lift in the next storm.
Moss, grit and debris in the gutters send water back under the roof edge and down the walls.
If you can see light through the roof from the loft, rain and cold air can get through too.
Standing water, blisters or splits on a felt flat roof are a sign the covering is near the end of its life.
Ovington is a quiet rural village of stone cottages and farmhouses grouped around its green, with farmland running down towards the Tees. Many buildings are well over a century old, with heavy sandstone or natural slate roofs laid on their original timbers. Over time the pegs and nails holding the slates corrode, mortar on the ridges washes out and lead around chimneys splits. Open countryside on all sides means the village catches wind and driving rain from the west, so slipped slates and wet gables are common. Barns and farm buildings often have sheet roofs that need repairing or replacing. Where cottages in Ovington are listed or in a sensitive setting, we match stone slates and slate sizes and talk through planning before any work begins.
The importance of repairing minor roof damage is easy to underestimate. A small leak and the damp patch it leaves can grow into a problem that weakens the structure of your Ovington home and leads to a much bigger repair bill.
Ovington is part of our regular patch, and we often have work on just across the Tees in Gainford and Winston.

Not usually. Most leaks come from a loose, cracked or slipped tile or slate, failed flashing or a tired valley, and can be repaired on their own. A full re-roof is only needed when the roof system as a whole has failed or the roof is no longer safe. We will tell you honestly which applies to your Ovington home.
Get them replaced as soon as possible, before rain reaches the felt and timbers underneath. Replacing tiles safely is a skilled job, so please do not climb up yourself. Contact your local Ovington team and we will match the tile, fix it properly and check the surrounding roof while we are there.
It depends on the extent of the damage, the age of the roof and the materials it is made from. We survey the roof, show you what we find and explain the options. Where a repair is the sensible choice we will repair it. Sometimes a full replacement is the only lasting solution, and we will explain why.
Leaks are often the first sign. Check your Ovington roof and gutters twice a year for cracked, slipped or missing tiles, loose ridge tiles and a build-up of grit in the gutters. Indoors, look for damp patches, bubbled or peeling wallpaper, cracked paint or stained plasterboard. The longer a problem is left, the more it costs to put right.
Only in very exceptional circumstances, such as a roof that is structurally unsafe. In almost every case you can stay in your Ovington home while we work.
Costs for a roof in Ovington depend heavily on the materials. Natural slate and stone slate cost more than clay or concrete tiles, and older roofs may need new timbers, lead work and careful handling of reclaimed materials. On a more modern house, re-roofing a typical semi-detached property with clay tiles could cost anything between £3,500 and £5,500. Every job starts with a free site survey and a fixed written quote. Call 01833 689096 to arrange a visit.
