Roofs & Drives Ltd provides roofing services across Durham and the surrounding areas — Neville’s Cross, Gilesgate, Framwellgate Moor, Belmont, Carrville, Bearpark and Sherburn. Whether it’s a small repair, storm damage, a leaking chimney or a complete new roof, we do the work ourselves to a proper standard and back it with a guarantee.
Durham has a lot of older stone-built and traditional housing, plus conservation areas near the city where natural slate and correct detailing matter. Steeper, older roofs and heritage materials are common, so we’re used to sourcing and matching natural slate and working sympathetically on period properties around Neville’s Cross, Gilesgate and the villages.
We’re based in Darlington, just up the road, so Durham is well within our patch and we’re out this way regularly. You’ll deal with Lee and Tom directly — the same people who quote your job are the ones who carry it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost in Durham?
It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the materials and how much needs replacing. There’s no fixed price, but we give clear written quotes after a free survey so you know exactly where you stand — and we’ll always tell you honestly whether a repair would do instead.
Do you do small repairs, or only full roofs?
Both. We do everything from a single slipped tile, a leak or a chimney flashing right up to a full re-roof. No job is too small, and we won’t upsell you to a replacement you don’t need.
How quickly can you come out for a leak?
For active leaks we prioritise getting out quickly to make the roof safe and watertight, then quote for the permanent fix. Call 01642 901293 or 07733 156632.
Are you insured and do you guarantee the work?
Yes to both — we’re fully insured and every job is backed by a workmanship guarantee.
Can you match natural slate on an older Durham property?
Yes. Many Durham roofs are natural slate, and matching new to existing properly is a skill — we source the right slate and detail it correctly rather than swapping in mismatched tiles.
Do you work on conservation-area properties around Durham?
We do. We’ll advise on suitable materials and detailing so the roof stays in keeping with the property and any local conservation requirements.
