New Roof Installations & Replacements
A new roof is a significant investment in your property. When an existing roof has deteriorated beyond economical repair, replacing it provides an opportunity to renew the roof covering and address any underlying issues affecting its condition.
Roof construction varies across Cramlington. A 1970s property in Beacon Hill may have different roof details from a later house in Northburn, particularly where previous alterations or repairs have been made. The proposed replacement needs to reflect what's actually there.
With experience across different roofing types, we can recommend an installation suited to the property's construction, appearance and practical requirements.
When Does a Roof Need Replacing?
Not every roofing problem requires a complete replacement. Isolated leaks, slipped tiles and localised damage can often be repaired without renewing the entire roof.
However, when roofing materials have deteriorated extensively or problems continue to return, replacing the roof may be the more practical long-term option.
Signs that your roof may need replacing include:
Recurring leaks: Water entering through several areas or leaks that continue despite previous repairs.
Widespread tile or slate damage: Large sections of cracked, broken, slipping or deteriorating roof coverings.
Ageing roofing materials: Existing coverings showing significant wear after years of exposure to the weather.
Deteriorating roof components: Problems affecting the roof covering and the materials beneath it.
Repeated repair costs: Ongoing repairs becoming less economical than a complete replacement.
The extent of the damage and likely future repair costs guide the decision. We can explain if a repair remains worthwhile before quoting for a complete replacement.

The right roof covering depends on the property's pitch, structure and appearance.
Our installations include slate and tiled pitched roofs, alongside flat roofing for suitable domestic buildings.
Pitched Roof Installations
Pitched roof replacements require slates or tiles suited to the roof angle and structure, with fixings and ventilation specified accordingly.
We also install pitched roofs on extensions and new-build homes.
Slate Roofs
In Gosforth, many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs, with Welsh and Lakeland slate among the materials found locally. When replacing a roof of this type, details around chimneys, valleys and roof edges matter as much as the slates themselves.
We carry out slate roof installations and replacements. Our Spanish slate roof replacement in Gosforth is an example of this work on a nineteenth-century property.
Clay & Concrete Tiled Roofs
Clay and concrete tiles are widely used on pitched residential roofs, offering a range of finishes and profiles to complement different properties.
The choice of tile will depend on factors such as roof pitch, structural suitability and the appearance required.

Flat Roof Installations
Flat roofs are commonly used on extensions and other parts of residential properties where a pitched roof may not be suitable.
We install and replace EPDM rubber and torch-on felt roofs, with attention to drainage and waterproofing details around roof edges and junctions.
We assess the requirements of the property and discuss suitable roofing options based on the roof's construction and condition.

How a Pitched Roof Replacement Works
A complete roof replacement involves considerably more than renewing the visible roof covering. The condition of the existing structure, roof underlay, battens, ventilation and weatherproofing details all play an important role in the performance and longevity of the finished installation.
Toner Roofing follows a structured approach to roof replacement, assessing the existing construction and installing new roofing systems in accordance with the relevant British Standards, Building Regulations and manufacturer specifications.
Roof Inspection & Structural Assessment
Before installation begins, we assess the existing roof, including its dimensions, structural condition, insulation and ventilation requirements.
Once the original roof covering has been removed, the exposed roof structure is inspected, including rafters, purlins and wall plates. Any damaged or deteriorated timberwork is identified and addressed before the new covering is installed.
Roof Preparation & Weatherproofing
Correct preparation is essential to the performance of a new roof. This includes the installation of suitable roofing underlay, correctly graded and spaced battens, and appropriate ventilation and protection at the eaves.
The roof is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the selected covering, with attention given to water drainage, moisture management and the integrity of the underlying construction.
Installation of New Roof Coverings
Slate or tiled roof coverings are installed to the appropriate specification, with correct alignment, headlaps and mechanical fixings.
Where applicable, mechanically secured ridge and verge systems are incorporated, alongside properly detailed lead flashings, valleys, chimney abutments and other roof junctions.
On more exposed properties around Blyth and Whitley Bay, wind loading is an important consideration when specifying roof coverings and fixings. Roof pitch, height and location all influence how slates, tiles and roof edges should be secured.
Final Inspection & Completion
Following installation, the completed roof is inspected, including the condition and security of the roof coverings, flashings, fixings and drainage details.
All roofing waste is removed, gutters are cleared and the surrounding property is thoroughly cleaned before the work is handed over.
If your gutters also need repairing or replacing, see our guttering services.

The cost of a new roof varies depending on the property, the existing roof and the materials required.
Several factors can influence the overall price:
Roof size: The amount of roofing material and labour required.
Roof design: The shape, pitch and complexity of the roof.
Roofing materials: The type of slate, tile or flat roofing system selected.
Existing roof condition: Whether underlying roofing components require attention.
Access requirements: Scaffolding, deliveries and space to work safely. Tighter terraced streets in Heaton can present different access needs from houses with open driveways.
Additional roof details: Features such as chimneys, valleys and roof junctions.
Roof replacement costs can also be affected by hidden deterioration discovered once the old covering has been removed. We provide free quotations based on the proposed materials, access requirements and installation work.
