The one thing we do differently in Newton Aycliffe: we photograph the roof void as well as the covering, because post-war new-town housing, predominantly concrete interlocking tile hides most of its problems inside.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|

We attend in weather that stops routine work, but there are conditions — severe gales in particular — where nobody should be on a roof. In those cases we make safe from ground level and return as soon as it is safe.
These are Newton Aycliffe timings with local access factored in — Flat, open new-town layout with little wind shelter; ridge and verge lift is the recurring storm damage.
Emergency make-safe is done from ladder and roof ladder wherever it can be done safely. Scaffold is specified for: any make-safe that cannot be completed safely from a ladder, and all follow-up permanent repairs at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Newton Aycliffe was planned with generous access and parking, so scaffold and skips sit on the plot in nearly every case — among the cheapest access in the area. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Durham County Council; allow a few working days on streets like Beveridge Way, Burn Lane where space is tight.
