Your roof is your home's first line of defence against the North East weather. In Kenton and across this well-established part of Tyne and Wear, Global Outdoor Design provides the roofing expertise you need — from quick repairs to complete re-roofs.
Kenton sits in the NE1 postcode area under Newcastle City Council, with easy access from the A1(M) / A19 corridor — so we can be on site quickly from our base in Tyne and Wear, often combining visits with nearby work in Gosforth, Fawdon, Fenham.

Kenton is a suburban pocket inside Newcastle upon Tyne, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Newcastle upon Tyne job. We plan around 1960s-90s family homes, wider drives and mature front gardens. That's why this page exists separately to ourNewcastle upon Tyne page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Serving homeowners across Tyne and Wear, we understand the unique challenges of working in the region's busy towns and quieter suburbs. From tight access on terraced streets to larger projects on detached properties, our team adapts to the local conditions and building styles found throughout the county.
As the regional capital, Newcastle has an incredibly diverse housing stock from Grade II listed Georgian townhouses on Grey Street to modern riverside apartments at the Quayside. Jesmond and Gosforth offer leafy Victorian suburbs, while the west end features more affordable terraced housing.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Kenton.
How we adapt for this area:
We install scaffold netting and sheeting to keep dust and debris from affecting neighbouring properties.
Your home remains weatherproof throughout — we never strip more roof area than we can re-cover in a day.
We protect driveway surfaces with boarding where scaffolding base plates could cause damage.
Being so active in this area means we can often fit in smaller jobs alongside larger scheduled projects.
We thoroughly assess your roof condition, identifying any issues and recommending the best course of action.
You receive a detailed quote with a project timeline, so you know exactly what to expect.
We erect scaffolding, lay protective coverings, and prepare the work area before any roofing begins.
Our experienced team carries out the agreed work, maintaining weatherproofing throughout the process.
We inspect the finished roof, remove all scaffolding and waste, and provide your written guarantee.
Recently built properties where homeowners want to replace standard builder finishes with premium driveways and patios.
These characterful properties combine ground-floor living with loft rooms, often needing specialist dormer roofing work.
Split-level properties with interesting rooflines and gardens that benefit from thoughtful design and quality materials.
Homes on quiet cul-de-sacs often have generous driveways and front gardens ideal for a complete transformation.
This is one of our busiest areas — we have multiple teams working here most weeks.
Our own trained team carries out all the work — no unknown subcontractors on your property.
We understand the local housing styles, weather conditions, and planning considerations in Kenton.
