What We Do

Roofs, from slate to gutter

Four things we do every week, and do properly. If it is not on this list, ask anyway, if it is above your head we probably do it.

Pitched Roof Repairs

Slipped slates, storm damage, cracked tiles and worn ridge mortar on Newcastle's terraced roofs. Most repairs finished in a day.

Flat Roof Replacement

EPDM rubber or torch-on felt, stripped right back and rebuilt with proper falls and drainage. Built to last decades, not years.

Chimneys & Leadwork

Repointing, new lead flashing, pots and cowls. Chimneys are where half the leaks we fix started, the half everyone else missed.

Gutters & Fascias

Full gutter cleans, repairs and replacements, so water goes where it should. A clean gutter is the cheapest roof insurance there is.

Why Tyne & Slate

We roof like it is our own house

The trade is full of lads who quote over the phone and disappear at the first drop of rain. We built this firm to be the opposite of that.

Most of our work is on the Victorian terraces of Jesmond, Gosforth and Heaton: Welsh slate, tired lime mortar, and chimney stacks that have seen a century of North East weather. We know these roofs the way a joiner knows his own bench.

Here is how we work. We survey every roof ourselves, on foot and up close, and we photograph everything we find so you can see it too. We tell you what your roof needs, what it can wait on, and what it does not need at all, even when that last one costs us the job.

Then we put it in writing: a fixed written quote, before a single tile is lifted. The price we quote is the price you pay. And when we are done, you get the after photos to prove it.

Word of Mouth

What the street says

Example reviews shown for the template. At personalisation these are replaced with the client's own verified Google reviews.

“Dave came up, photographed the whole roof, and showed me exactly where the leak was coming in. Fixed price, done in a day, and the after photos to prove it. Spot on.”

Graeme W. Jesmond

“Two other firms told us we needed a whole new roof. Tyne and Slate repointed the chimney and replaced the flashing, and the leak stopped. Honest lads.”

Sarah L. Gosforth

“Had the flat roof on our extension done in EPDM. Turned up when they said, left the yard spotless, and ten years guarantee in writing. Could not ask for more.”
