Cleadon village has a conservation area running through it, so matching what is already on the roof matters more there than most places. Repairs, re-roofs, slate, tile and flat roofing, fascias, guttering, chimneys and leadwork across Cleadon and the SR6 streets around it, from one roofer answering one number.
Cleadon has a conservation area through the older part of it, so matching what is already on the roof matters more there than most places, and a substitute covering that would pass without comment elsewhere may not pass there. In practice most of what CWRS is asked for around Cleadon is repairs, ridges and roofline, with full re-roofs, slate, tile, flat roofing and chimney work all available alongside.
Slipped slates, cracked tiles, failed flashing, storm damage and the damp patch on the ceiling that nobody can account for.
/02A full strip and re-roof: old covering off, timbers checked, breathable membrane and new battens down, then slates or tiles laid straight with the ridges bedded and the verges finished.
/03Slate work on the older stone and Victorian property the North East is full of: full slate roofs, patch repairs, matched replacements, valleys and hips.
/04Concrete and clay tile roofing on the post-war and modern housing across South Shields, Boldon, Washington and the wider North East.
/05Garages, dormers, porches, rear extensions and the odd shaped bit at the back that nobody wants to look at.
/06Fascias, soffits, bargeboards, gutters and downpipes replaced in uPVC, or cleared, resealed and re-run where replacement is not needed.
/07Chimney stacks repointed, rebuilt or taken down, flaunching renewed, pots refitted, cowls and caps fitted, and lead flashings, soakers, valleys and aprons dressed properly.
Across Cleadon (SR6) it is mostly repairs, re-roofs, slate and tile work, flat roofs, fascias and guttering and chimney and lead work. The stock there is largely older stone and brick village property in natural slate alongside larger modern detached houses in clay and concrete tile, which decides most of what gets asked for. Cleadon has a conservation area through the older part of it, so matching what is already on the roof matters more there than most places, and a substitute covering that would pass without comment elsewhere may not pass there. Anything beyond a straightforward look is priced after Callum has been up and seen it, because the state of what is already there decides the cost.
No, travel is in the price. Cleadon is roughly 5 km from us in South Shields, well inside the patch we work in every week, so you are paying for the roof rather than for the van. What moves a price is the job: the pitch, the access, whether a scaffold is needed and what is found once the covering comes off.
Yes. Cleadon village has a conservation area running through it, so matching what is already on the roof matters more there than most places. CWRS is based in South Shields and works across South Tyneside, Sunderland, Gateshead, Newcastle and North Tyneside as standard, so Cleadon is well inside the normal patch. Ring and describe the job and you will get a straight answer on timing from the person who will actually be doing it.
Yes, mostly in what you are allowed to put back. Older property in Cleadon sits in or near a conservation area, so there is usually an expectation that a roof is re-covered in matching natural slate rather than a substitute, and getting that wrong can be expensive to undo. The buildings have also settled over a century or more, so nothing is square and the covering has to be set out to the roof that is actually there rather than to a neat drawing of it.
Cleadon is close enough to us that it is a short run, so an active leak usually gets looked at within a day or two. The first visit is about stopping the water and making it safe, which can mean a temporary cover if the weather will not allow a proper repair that day. The permanent fix follows once the roof is dry enough to do it properly rather than twice.
Yes. One slipped slate, a loose ridge tile, a leaking gutter joint or a length of rotten fascia are all normal jobs. Small work gets the same visit and the same up-front price as anything bigger, and if it turns out to be something that does not need doing yet you will be told that instead of invoiced for it.
Only where the job genuinely needs it. Most single slate and tile repairs and most gutter work are done safely off ladders and a roof ladder. A full re-roof, a chimney or a whole elevation needs a proper platform, and where that is the case the scaffold is priced into the quote up front rather than added later. Access in Cleadon is generally straightforward, but it gets looked at on the quote visit rather than assumed.
