New Roof Installations in Durham
Slate and Tile Specialists in Durham
Choosing a new roof in Durham often starts with the character of the house. For an older property around the city centre or Gilesgate, the size and colour of the roof covering deserve careful thought. A home in another part of the city may offer more flexibility over the finish.
We install natural slate, clay and concrete tiles, as well as mock slate. Before you choose, we discuss the roof’s shape, the existing structure and how a different covering would look. We also consider practical matters such as scaffold access where a house fronts directly onto a pavement or has little space alongside it.
Windsor Roofing is a family business based in Sunderland and serving Durham. We inspect first, so you can understand whether the roof needs a complete replacement or whether a targeted repair remains a suitable option.

Keeping it Simple and What is included
Your roof replacement in Durham starts with a conversation about the property and an inspection of the existing roof. We then explain the proposed scope and provide a written quote. This allows you to compare suitable materials and see how the price relates to the work.
An older house with several roof slopes or chimney junctions may require more detailed work than a simple modern roof. Scaffolding and access also affect the cost. We discuss these points before agreeing the specification. After you accept the quote, we arrange suitable dates and coordinate the installation.
Our Other Services
We provide a 10-year guarantee on main roofs.

Materials and Standards
Appearance is one part of selecting a new roof covering. The material also needs to suit the roof pitch and existing structure. We explain appropriate options for your Durham home and use BBA-certified products within our installations where specified.
A full re-roof may need Building Control approval, including consideration of insulation. We can help you understand what the proposed work requires. Planning permission and listed building consent are separate matters, so any relevant permissions also need checking before work begins.

Heritage work and older properties in Seaham
On a historic Durham home, replacing the roof should begin with understanding what is already there. The covering, ridge and chimney details can all contribute to the building’s character. Our team has heritage roofing experience and can discuss repair and replacement options with that in mind.
An address within the Durham City Conservation Area or a listed building needs its own checks before alterations are agreed. We do not assume that a material used on a nearby house will automatically be suitable for yours. Historic England’s guidance on roof repair and renewal explains the importance of retaining appropriate historic details.
What People Say About Us
Debbie
Roof Replacement
“I canāt speak high enough of John and his son, Anthony. My 101 year old Mum had water coming in through her kitchen ceiling following a recent storm and my friend recommended these guys having used them extensively in the past. They came out and gave a quote. However, once they started the job it quickly became apparent that the job was a lot bigger than first anticipated thanks to some previous workmanship resulting in the wall not even being attached to the house!! The job was completed today and Iām over the moon with the result. Would not hesitate to recommend for any roofing jobs.”

“We knew from the very first conversation with the lady in the office that this would be a great firm to deal with. We were given an appointment for a quote and Anthony turned up bang on time as agreed. We agreed the cost and timing straight away. This is a family business & John & Anthony were fantastic to deal with. You can really tell that they care about their work & have great attention to detail. Their team of roofers were a great bunch of guys & they tidied up afterwards. Highly recommended. Wouldnāt hesitate to use them again.”
