A name County Durham has trusted since 1945
Breward Roofing was founded in 1945 and has stayed a family-run business ever since. That continuity is rare in the trade — and it is exactly why so much of our work comes from repeat customers and personal recommendations across Bishop Auckland and beyond.
Longevity only counts if the standards travel with it. Every job is carried out by our own skilled craftsmen, left clean and tidy, and backed by a guarantee. We hold an asbestos handling licence and a carriers licence, and carry £1 million of public liability insurance — and we’re happy to handle insurance-related roof work directly with your provider.
