Old terraces, post-war estates
Thornaby's housing covers the full 20th century in a small area. The older terraces towards the centre and the railway streets carry slate roofs with the familiar story: sound slates, tired nails, and chimneys that have weathered a century of smoke. The post-war estates spreading towards Ingleby Barwick carry the standard concrete-tile specification whose underlay is now reaching the end of its life, street by street.
The Thornaby job mix
Slipped slate and tile repairs at £150 to £450 are the daily bread, with chimney repointing and flashing work close behind on the older stock. Flat roofs on rear additions and garages keep the EPDM trade busy at £900 to £1,800. On the terraces, the recurring bigger conversation is the strip and re-roof: when slates slip in several places, reusing the sound ones on new battens and felt at £5,500 to £9,500 beats a repair van visiting every winter.
Practical points
Terraced access here is typical Teesside: rear alleys on much of the older stock make scaffolding workable, and quotes should show access as its own line. As anywhere, the quote to trust names its materials, includes waste disposal, and puts the guarantee in writing.
