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.

15 YEARS IN THE MAKING.
From a single van to a full team, here's how JL Roofing grew into one of the North East's most trusted roofing companies.
Founded
Joe Linden started JL Roofing with one van and a clear mission: do every job as if it were your own home.
Team Growth
Demand grew. The team expanded to four full-time roofers, taking on larger projects across Tyneside.

Celebrated our 100th full roof installation. Expanded into modern flat roofing systems including GRP fibreglass.
8-Strong Team
Now covering all major roofing services across the North East, from storm repair to full roofline replacements.
500+ Customers
Reached the milestone of 500 satisfied customers. Introduced drone survey technology for hard-to-access roofs.
Next Generation
Upgraded to the latest GRP and EPDM flat roofing systems, offering 25+ year product warranties on every installation.
OUR VALUES.
Six principles that shape how we work on every single job, from the smallest repair to the largest installation.
Transparency
Clear, itemised quotes. No hidden costs, no surprise additions. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Reliability
We show up when we say we will and finish on schedule. Your time matters as much as your roof.
Craftsmanship
The right materials, installed properly. We don't rush and we don't cut corners, ever.
Honesty
If you don't need the work, we'll tell you. Our reputation is built on advice you can trust.
Safety
CSCS certified workforce, full PPE, and proper safe access on every job, no exceptions.
Aftercare
We don't disappear once the scaffold comes down. We're always on hand for questions and follow-ups.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY.
Unedited reviews from real customers across the North East.
“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.”
