Roofers for County Durham & Wearside
Solid roofs. Straight answers.
Leaks, slipped slates, chimneys, flat roofs and guttering across Durham, Sunderland and the villages in between. We show you photos of what we find, and every price is in writing.
The Hollinsett way
How we work
Roofing has its share of cowboys. Here's what you can expect from us instead.
No doorstep selling
We never knock on doors offering roof work. You call us, not the other way round.
Photos before any work
You see the problem for yourself before you agree to anything.
Everything in writing
A written quote listing the work, materials and any scaffolding. No cash-only deals.
Safe, tidy sites
Proper access equipment, and every bit of old material cleared away.
Real scheme logos are only shown once membership has been checked with the scheme.

Storm damage?
Call us first. If we can't answer because we're up on a roof, you'll get a text back within seconds, and we'll ring you as soon as we're down.
Never miss us
Off the roof, straight back to you
Roofers can't answer the phone halfway up a ladder. If your call isn't answered, you'll get a text within seconds, so you know we've got it and when we'll ring you back.
Reply with your address and what's happened, and we'll call you back the same day.
Demo note: this shows missed-call text-back, an optional extra LFT can set up on request. The messages shown are examples.
Meanwhile, the roofer gets an alert: "Missed call from 07700 900456. Text-back sent." (Example; the number is from Ofcom's drama range.)

Reviews
What customers say
Sample review text - this is a demo site
On a real site, this section shows genuine reviews, word for word, each with a link to where it was posted. Nothing here was written by a real customer.
Came out the day after the storm, put a cover on, and had the slates back on by the end of the week.
Sent us photos of the chimney flashing so we could see the problem for ourselves. The final bill matched the quote.
New flat roof on the kitchen extension. Tidy, on time, and nothing left in the garden afterwards.
Placeholder link On a real site, this button opens the firm's own review page, so anyone can check every review at the source.
