New Roofs & Re-roofing in County Durham

A new roof built to outlast the weather

A full re-roof is a big decision, so it deserves a contractor who’ll be around to stand behind it. Breward Roofing has been fitting new roofs across the North East since 1945 — and a good number of the roofs we’re replacing today are ones the previous generation of the family never got a complaint about.

We install complete new roofs and re-roofs in concrete and clay tile and natural and man-made slate, including all the elements that make a roof actually perform: breathable membrane, treated battens, new underlay, ventilation, and properly bedded ridge and verge.

What’s included

• A fixed, written quotation — no surprises
• Strip and removal of all waste from site (we’re carriers licensed)
• High-performance breathable felt and tanalised laths
• Your choice of slate or tile from any manufacturer, matched to your home and street
• New or refurbished lead work to chimneys and valleys
• Roof ventilation to prevent condensation and rot
• A written guarantee on all materials and workmanship — insurance-backed for the first 10 years

Slate and tile options

We fit whatever suits your property and budget: slates including Eternit (black or red), Welsh, Spanish, Brazilian green and hydro slate; and tiles including clay and concrete pantiles, Rosemary and Marley Modern. If you’re not sure what your street uses, we’ll help you match it.

Considering roofline at the same time?

A re-roof is the ideal moment to renew tired fascias, soffits and guttering — the scaffold is already up, and matching new roofline to a new roof finishes the job properly.

Clear quotes, no surprises

You’ll get a clear written quote that spells out exactly what’s included, so you can compare like for like. We’re fully insured, all work is guaranteed, and finance options may be available to spread the cost — see our finance page.
