Get answers to common questions about roofing services in Hendon.
Hendon is one of Sunderland's oldest and most established residential neighbourhoods, located just south of the city centre and close to the coast. The area is characterised by long Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets — many of which feature original slate roofs, some of which are well over 100 years old. These properties have tremendous character, but they do require specialist knowledge to maintain and repair correctly.
Our team has extensive experience working on Hendon's older housing stock. We understand the specific challenges these properties present, from sourcing matching Welsh slate for repairs to working carefully around original chimney stacks and period features. We treat every property with the care and respect it deserves.
Whether you need a single tile replaced, a full roof re-slate, or a new lead flashing around your chimney, we cover all roofing work in Hendon and can usually visit within 24–48 hours for a free survey and quote.
The terraced housing in Hendon was largely built between 1860 and 1920. Many of these roofs are still covered with their original Welsh blue slate — one of the most durable roofing materials ever used. However, after 100+ years, even the best slate will eventually fail. The battens beneath can rot, the felt (if original) will have long since perished, and individual slates can crack or slip.
We always advise Hendon homeowners to re-use good-quality original slates where possible when carrying out repairs or a full re-roof. This maintains the property's appearance and, in some cases, its heritage value. Where slates are beyond re-use, we source matching replacements to ensure a consistent, sympathetic finish.
Hendon's Victorian terraces typically feature one or more chimney stacks per property. Many of these chimneys are no longer in active use but still form an important structural and aesthetic part of the roofline. Over time, the mortar pointing between the bricks deteriorates, flaunching (the mortar bed around the chimney pots) cracks and falls away, and lead flashing lifts.
Left untreated, a deteriorating chimney stack can allow significant water ingress into the roof space and even into the upper floors of the property. We carry out chimney repointing, reflashing, pot replacement, and full stack rebuilds throughout Hendon and surrounding streets.
Many Hendon properties have rear extensions with flat roofs, as well as flat-roofed garages or outbuildings. Older felt flat roofs have a limited lifespan and often develop leaks after 10–15 years. We replace aged felt flat roofs with modern EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass systems that carry 20–25 year guarantees and are far superior in terms of durability and waterproofing performance.
