What our customers say
EXCELLENT Based on 70 reviews Posted on Google Daniel HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom and his team have left us with a first class upgraded drive. Tom was brilliant, friendly and knowledgeable to deal with from our initial no obligation quote months ago to us getting back in touch later in the year, we didn’t feel rushed whatsoever. He gave us a more than fair price for the job, the outcome of two days hard graft by him, and his team is an outstanding end product we are more than satisfied with. He should be satisfied with the high standards the team has achieved and we will be returning for more work in the future.Posted on Google Becky FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work replacing a conservatory roof, soffits and gutters. They carried out in a timely manner, tidied up as they went and everyone who came into the house was friendly. They explained what they were doing, can’t fault any of the work carried out. Would recommendPosted on Google Martin HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks Tom for the work done. You and your team provided a quality job to convert our conservatory roof. You were there on time each day and left it clean after completion. I would recommend you to anyone thinking of having a similar work done. MartinPosted on Google Angela ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had a new roof fitted on our conservatory. Roofs and Drives did an excellent job, and the finished work looks great. The men were polite and considerate, cleared up well when they had finished and were reliable in terms of arrival and finished times, and length of time to be taken. We feel we were given very good value for money.Posted on Google Mary WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came straight out and made storm damage water tight. Professional polite lads. Would recommend to friends and family .Posted on Google Louise dTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a little bit of concern as a couple of ridges was loose on my roof but i contacted Roof and Drives ltd. They were very prompt when i rang to get them round to do the work. They did it promptly and at a reasonable prices and I am a very happy customer and would recommend them to any one.Posted on Google Tom HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom and his team have just completed a fantastic job installing a new roof on my conservatory, installing down lighters and creating a fantastic new space. On top of that they have removed a stud wall creating a fantastic new open space in my bedroom. They have an extra mile to install new guttering, facias and soffits on the property which gives a new feel and looks fantastic. They have worked really hard to give me what I wanted. Would highly recommend Roofs & Drives to anyone looking for a harding working team who do a fantastic job.Posted on Google R_yxnjamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had some damage to the guttering on my roof and they came out fairly quickly and sorted it, decent price, good quality + top lads that did it. Shout out to Matty!Posted on Google Stephen mTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom and his team did an outstanding job in renewing our conservatory roof. The finished result using Metrotile and insulation is much warmer and quieter. We also had the drive and front of the house re-done, which involved a lot of preparation. Tom and his team again did a great job finishing with a resin bound uv surface. All work was done to a very high standard, and all waste taken away promptly. We would have no hesitation in reccommending Roofs & Drives to anyone considering having work done at a very competitive price. Mr & Mrs Meacher.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace a roof in the UK?
The cost of a full roof replacement in the UK typically ranges from £5,500 to £14,000+, depending on the size of your property, materials chosen, roof pitch, and whether scaffolding is required. For homes in Darlington and the wider North East, prices generally sit toward the lower end compared to London and the South East, as local labour rates are more competitive. Slate roofs cost more than concrete tiles, and features like chimneys or dormers will add to the overall price. The best way to get an accurate figure is with a free, no-obligation survey — which we provide at no cost to you.
How long does a block paving driveway last?
A properly installed block paving driveway can last 20–25 years or more with regular upkeep. The key to longevity is quality groundwork — a well-prepared and compacted sub-base is what prevents early failure. We see many driveways across Darlington, Stockton-on-Tees, and Middlesbrough fail years ahead of time simply because corners were cut during installation. At Roofs And Drives, we don’t cut corners — your driveway is built on solid foundations from day one.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
In most cases, no — but it depends on the material and drainage. Under UK law, you do not need planning permission if you use a permeable surface such as resin bound, permeable block paving, or porous tarmac, as these allow rainwater to drain through naturally. If you choose a non-permeable surface over 5m² that directs water onto the public road, planning permission may be required. The good news is that all three driveway types we install — resin, block paving, and tarmac — can be specified to comply with drainage regulations. We’ll advise you on this as part of your free quote.
What is the best driveway material for wet weather?
Given the North East’s frequent rainfall, drainage is everything. Resin bound is our top recommendation for wet weather — it’s fully permeable, so rainwater soaks through the surface rather than pooling on it. It’s also UV-stable, low-maintenance, and looks exceptional. Permeable block paving is a close second, offering durability and a classic aesthetic with good drainage. Tarmac is a reliable, cost-effective option when installed with the correct gradient and drainage system. We’ll help you choose the right material for your property and the North East climate.
How do I find a reliable roofers near me?
Finding a trustworthy roofer can feel daunting — but here’s what to look for: check for public liability insurance (we carry £5 million), look for genuine local reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations, ask for a written quote before any work begins, and be cautious of anyone requesting large upfront payments. Roofs And Drives Ltd has built our reputation entirely on recommendations from homeowners across Darlington, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, and surrounding areas. We’re also proud winners of the Quality Business Awards 2025 — Best Driveway Service in Darlington, which reflects the trust our customers place in us.
What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded driveways?
They sound similar but are very different. With a resin bound driveway, the stone and resin are mixed together first, then laid to create a smooth, fully permeable surface. Water drains through it naturally — no planning permission issues, no puddles. With a resin bonded driveway, resin is spread first and loose stones are scattered on top. It’s textured but not permeable, and stones can loosen over time. Resin bound lasts up to 20 years; resin bonded typically around 10. For residential driveways across Darlington and Middlesbrough, we recommend resin bound — it’s the premium, long-lasting choice.
How long does a conservatory roof replacement take?
Most conservatory roof conversions are completed in just 2–4 days, with minimal disruption to your home. The process involves removing the existing glass or polycarbonate roof, installing a lightweight insulated frame, fitting the tiled roof system, and finishing the interior and exterior to your specification. From day one to completion, you’ll have a fully insulated, weathertight living space. We serve homeowners across Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Newton Aycliffe and surrounding areas — get in touch for a free survey and timeline.
Can I get finance for a new driveway or roof?
This is one of the most common questions we receive. Please call us on 01642 901293 or email roofsanddrives23@gmail.com and we’ll discuss all available payment options with you directly. We’ll always be upfront and transparent about costs — no hidden fees, no nasty surprises.
