“A huge thank you to Andy for fixing my roof. I know it was late when I rang, so I really appreciated him coming out to make a temporary repair. When he returned to complete the roof, it was done exactly as promised in two days.
Very reasonably priced, extremely professional, and the work even came with a 10-year warranty. Thank you for a first-class service. I’ll definitely be recommending you to everyone I know.”
“A massive thank you to Andy for sorting out our roof issues. He came out as an emergency and managed to stop the roof leak straight away. True to his word, he came back the following week and permanently recovered our garage roof.
The work also came with a 10-year guarantee. Thank you again for the brilliant service.”
“A big thank you to Andy for renewing my felt roof at a very reasonable cost. He also gave me the number of a highly recommended slate roofing contractor, which was very helpful.
I believe my next-door neighbour is now looking to have her roof done as well. Brilliant service, and thank you for the immaculate clean-up afterwards.”
10-Year Guarantee
Simple and personal: if your roof leaks within 10 years of the work being done, Andy comes back and fixes it free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers. If your question isn’t here, get in touch by phone, text or email.
How long does a flat roof last?
A well-installed flat roof, using quality materials and proper detailing, can last 20–30 years or more depending on the system used and how well it’s maintained. Andy will always recommend the right system for your specific roof rather than the cheapest option available.
Do you offer free quotations?
Yes. Every quotation is free, fair and comes with no obligation and no hidden costs. Get in touch and Andy will arrange a convenient time for a free inspection, then give you a clear, honest price for exactly what the roof needs, nothing more.

AHRoofing North East covers Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland, County Durham and Hartlepool. See the full Areas We Cover section below, and if you’re near the edge of the boundary just call or text Andy to check before booking.
Can you repair storm damage?
Yes. Storm damage is treated as a priority, and Andy aims to get out promptly to make the property safe and minimise further water ingress, then carry out a full, proper repair.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. AHRoofing North East works on both domestic and commercial flat roofing, from house extensions and garages through to full commercial building re-roofs.
What flat roofing systems do you install?
Andy's system of choice is torch-on felt (SBS, IKO and TGX), which he fits on the vast majority of jobs. GRP fibreglass and liquid-applied coatings are available as options for customers who prefer them. Andy doesn't fit single-ply membrane roofing, as it's easily punctured underfoot.
