New Grey Tiled Roof In Newton Hall, Durham

Client: Private Residential
Location: Newton Hall, Durham
Project Name: Full Roof Replacement with Grey Concrete Flat Tiles
Completion Date: 10/04/2025
Contractor: Northern Heritage Roofing

Project Overview

Northern Heritage Roofing was commissioned to carry out a full roof replacement on a detached property situated in the popular Newton Hall housing estate in Durham. The existing roof had aged significantly and the client wanted a more modern, low-maintenance solution to upgrade the home’s exterior. We recommended and installed contemporary grey concrete flat tiles, giving the property a fresh, clean look with long-lasting durability.

Scope of Work

• Full removal and disposal of the old roof tiles and underlay
• Roof structure inspection and minor timber repairs as required
• Installation of new breathable felt membrane and treated battens
• Supply and fitting of new grey concrete flat roof tiles
• Installation of dry ridge and dry verge systems for low maintenance
• Replacement of lead flashing around chimneys and adjoining walls
• Final inspection and site clean-up

Materials Used

• Grey concrete modern flat roof tiles
• Treated roofing battens
• Breathable underlay membrane
• Dry ridge and dry verge systems
• Code 4 lead flashing
• Stainless steel fixings

Challenges & Solutions

With the property located on a well-developed estate, maintaining a clean and organised site was essential to minimise disruption to neighbouring homes. Additionally, the new flat tile layout required accurate alignment to maintain the clean, contemporary look. Our team ensured a sleek and uniform finish across the entire roofline.

Outcome

The newly installed roof has significantly modernised the appearance of the home, improving its kerb appeal while ensuring excellent protection from the elements. The grey flat tiles create a stylish, streamlined finish that blends beautifully with the property's brickwork and surrounding homes.

Customer Feedback
