Local issues
Common Roof Problems in Jarrow
Working chimneys
Chimneys used for log burners and stoves need to be sound. Holes, cracked flaunching and perished pointing let water in and can affect how well a stove draws.
Riverside weather
Wind and rain along the Tyne are hard on roofs, particularly ridges and flashings.
Tyneside flats
Shared roofs mean both owners need a clear explanation of the work.
Rear extensions
Felt flat roofs on offshoots wear out and are best replaced with rubber or fibreglass.

Roof care
Keeping Your Jarrow Roof Sound All Year
Most roof problems in Jarrow start small. A few simple checks through the year can save you from a bigger bill later, and if you spot anything, a free quote costs you nothing.
Autumn
Leaves and moss block gutters and valleys just as the wet weather arrives. Clear gutters or have them checked, and look for tiles or slates that have moved over the summer before the first storms reach Jarrow.
Winter
After high winds, look along the ridge and verges from the ground for gaps, and check the loft with a torch for damp patches or daylight. Water that gets in now can freeze in joints and make cracks worse.
Spring
Check chimneys for cracked flaunching, missing mortar or leaning pots, and look at flat roofs on extensions and garages for blisters, splits or standing water that hasn't drained away.
Summer
Dry weather is the ideal time for planned work in Jarrow: re-roofs, flat roof replacements, repointing and new fascias and guttering. Getting it done now means you go into autumn with a sound roof.
Never go onto a roof yourself, especially in wet or windy weather. If you spot something from the ground or in the loft, call 07719 687603. We'll take a proper look, show you photos of anything we find, and give you an honest view of whether it needs fixing now or can wait.
Why JD Roofing
Family-Trained Roofers
You Can Actually Reach
JD Roofing Specialists is run by John O'Connor, who has worked on roofs alongside his dad all his life. When you book roofing in Jarrow with us, you deal with John and his team from the first phone call to the final sweep-up.
The same things come up in our reviews again and again: fair, competitive prices (often the best of several quotes), a team that turns up when they say they will, fast replies, clear explanations with photo evidence, and a site left clean with the rubbish taken away. Many of our customers come back to us for their next job.
We offer free quotes on all work and a 24-hour emergency call-out, and we're rated 4.2 out of 5 on Google (38 reviews), 100% recommended on Facebook (39 reviews) and 5 out of 5 on MyBuilder (11 reviews).
Six questions to ask any roofer before you book
Whoever you choose, these questions will help you avoid the most common problems homeowners run into.
- 01
- Will you show me the problem?A good roofer should be able to show you what's wrong. We take photos of the problems we find as standard, so you can see the evidence for yourself before agreeing to anything.
- 02
- What exactly is included in the price?Two quotes can look very different because one leaves things out. Ask what's being replaced, what's being re-used, and whether rubbish removal is included. With us, the clean-up and rubbish removal are always part of the job.
- 03
- Is the work guaranteed, and for how long?We give 15-year guarantees on full re-roofs, rubber flat roofs and fibreglass flat roofs, and a 10-year guarantee on felt flat roofs. Always ask any roofer to confirm guarantees before work starts.
- 04
- Are you insured?Working at height carries risk. JD Roofing Specialists carries £1.5 million public liability insurance, which protects you and your property while we're on site.
- 05
- How quickly will you reply?If a roofer is slow to reply before you've paid, they're unlikely to be quicker afterwards. Customers regularly say we text back within minutes, and one told us seven other companies never sent a quote at all.
- 06
- What happens in an emergency?Roofs fail in storms, often out of hours. Our 24-hour emergency call-out means you've got someone to ring when it matters most.
