Roof Repairs in Bishop Auckland & County Durham

Roof repairs done right, first time

A small roof problem has a habit of becoming an expensive one. Water that gets past a cracked tile or failed flashing doesn’t stop at the roof — it tracks into timbers, insulation and ceilings, and the repair bill grows with it. The sensible response is a prompt, professional inspection before the next spell of North East weather.

Breward Roofing has been repairing roofs across County Durham since 1945. We find the actual cause of the problem — not just the nearest symptom — and put it right with materials that match your existing roof. On older properties we also hold an asbestos handling licence, so we can deal safely with the asbestos cement sheeting and materials still found on many garage and outbuilding roofs.

Common repairs we carry out

• Leaks & water ingress — traced to source and sealed properly
• Slipped, cracked or missing tiles & slates
• Ridge & hip repairs — re-bedding and re-pointing loose ridge tiles
• Flashing & lead work around chimneys, valleys and abutments
• Storm & wind damage — including insurance work
• Guttering, fascia & soffit repairs that protect the roof edge

Emergency & storm damage

If a storm has lifted tiles or opened up a leak, call us as early as you can. We’ll make the roof safe and watertight, then agree the permanent repair — and if you’re claiming, we deal with your insurer directly.

Repair, or replace?

Sometimes a repair is exactly right; sometimes an ageing roof is telling you it’s reaching the end. Because we’re a family firm that relies on repeat custom, we give you a straight answer either way — never a hard sell. If a repair will genuinely see you good for years, that’s what we’ll recommend.
