Why Aykley Heads is different from the rest of Durham

Aykley Heads is a suburban pocket inside Durham, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Durham job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourDurham page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.

Roofing Considerations for Aykley Heads

Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Aykley Heads.

How we adapt for this area:

Existing roof insulation is assessed and upgraded where possible during re-roofing work.

We protect driveway surfaces with boarding where scaffolding base plates could cause damage.
