A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE.
Founded on the principle that good roofing work shouldn't be hard to find, JL Roofing began as a two-man operation in 2009. From day one, the rule was simple: every job is done as if it's your own home.
We've grown steadily since then, not through aggressive marketing, but through word of mouth and repeat customers. That's the kind of growth that tells you something real about the work.
Today, our team of eight covers everything from a slipped slate on a semi-detached to a full roof installation on a period farmhouse. The materials may change. The standard doesn't.
We're fully insured, CHAS accredited, and BS 5534 compliant. But beyond the credentials, we're tradespeople who care deeply about the quality of what we leave behind.

We let the work speak for itself. Here's what some of our recent customers had to say.
“Had my full roof replaced after storm damage. JL Roofing were professional from the very first call right through to the final inspection. Everything done on time and the site was left spotless. Couldn't be happier.”
Sarah M.
Whitley Bay
“Called at 8am about a major leak coming through the ceiling. By midday they had it covered and had given me a full written quote. That kind of response is rare. Excellent from start to finish.”
James T.
Newcastle
“Got three quotes for my flat roof conversion. JL weren't the cheapest, but their honesty won me over, they told me I didn't need the most expensive option. Work was brilliant and the guarantee gives me peace of mind.”
Linda P.
Gateshead
“Gutters, fascias, and soffits all done in a single day. Spotless finish and they even cleaned the driveway before they left. Top-quality work at a fair price, already recommended them to my neighbours.”
