Roofing Services in Washington

Expert Roofers Serving Washington, Tyne and Wear

Washington is a large town in Tyne and Wear, made up of many villages and districts including Concord, Biddick, Albany, Usworth, Fatfield, Spout Lane and more. As one of the area's most established roofing contractors, we have worked on hundreds of properties throughout Washington — from the older terraced homes in Fatfield and Biddick to the newer housing estates in Concord and Rickleton.

Washington's mix of older and newer housing stock means roofing challenges vary significantly across the town. Many properties built in the 1960s and 70s during the town's development as a New Town now require roof replacements or significant repairs, while newer developments typically need maintenance, guttering replacements, or flat roof work on garages and extensions.

We're a local team based nearby in Sunderland, so we can reach Washington properties quickly — usually within the same day for urgent call-outs and emergency repairs.

Roofing in Washington's Climate

Washington, like much of the North East, experiences some of the UK's harshest weather. Strong Atlantic winds, heavy rainfall and freezing winters put roofs under considerable stress year after year. Ridge tiles and verge mortar are among the first things to fail in these conditions, with the freeze-thaw cycle cracking mortar and loosening tiles over time.

We strongly recommend dry ridge and dry verge systems for Washington homeowners looking to eliminate the need for ongoing mortar maintenance. These systems use mechanical fixings instead of mortar, meaning they won't crack, crumble or blow off in storms — a much better long-term solution for the North East climate.

New Roofs in Washington

If your Washington property needs a full roof replacement, we offer a comprehensive service from initial survey through to completion. We work with a wide range of materials including natural slate, concrete tiles, clay tiles and flat roofing systems such as EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass.

Most full roof replacements in Washington can be completed within 3–5 working days depending on the size of the property. We remove all old materials, replace any rotten timber, fit new roofing felt and battens, then tile or slate to your specification. All new roofs come with our written guarantee.

Roof Repairs in Washington

Not every roofing problem requires a full replacement. We carry out all types of repair work across Washington, including replacing individual slipped or broken tiles, repointing ridge tiles, repairing or replacing lead flashing around chimneys and skylights, fixing leaking flat roofs, and clearing and repairing gutters and downpipes.

When you call us out for a repair, we'll always give you an honest assessment of the work needed. We won't recommend a full replacement if a repair will do the job effectively. Our aim is to give Washington homeowners the best value for money, not the most expensive solution.
