Read more about roof repairs Roof repairs in Barnard CastleWe supply, fit and repair all types of roofing in Barnard Castle:
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 slate roofsClay and concrete tiles are one of the most popular roofing choices in the UK. We supply a wide range of tiles to match your preferred colour, profile and budget, or the roofs around you.
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.
Read more about flat roofsGRP fibreglass flat roofs are tough, flexible and long lasting, laid seamlessly over dry OSB3 timber roof boards with neat moulded trims around every edge.

Free roof surveyA small fault caught early is a small bill. Call us if you spot any of these.
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.
Barnard Castle is built largely from local sandstone, and much of the town centre falls within a conservation area, with many listed buildings along The Bank, Galgate and around the Market Cross. Roofs here are typically heavy natural slate or stone slate on old timbers, so repairs have to match the original materials and respect planning rules. Common faults we see are slipped slates from corroded nails, failed lead valleys and flashings around chimney stacks, and moss and damp where gutters have blocked. Higher up the dale towards Cotherstone and Bowes, farmhouses and barns take the full force of wind and driving rain off the Pennines, and snow sitting on roofs through winter finds every weakness. We also fit fascias, soffits and guttering that suit the character of older properties.
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 Barnard Castle home and leads to a much bigger repair bill.
We regularly work in and around Barnard Castle, and our vans are often out in Gainford and Startforth too.
We also cover these nearby areas with the same team and the same guarantees.

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 Barnard Castle 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 Barnard Castle 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 Barnard Castle 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 Barnard Castle home while we work.
Roof prices in Barnard Castle vary more than in most towns because so many properties are stone built and listed. Natural or reclaimed slate, lead work and planning requirements all add cost, while a modern house in Startforth will usually be more straightforward. As a guide, re-roofing a typical semi-detached property with clay tiles could cost anything between £3,500 and £5,500. We will carry out a free site survey and give you a fixed written quote. Call 01833 689096 to arrange it.
