Your roof is your home's first line of defence against the North East weather. In Newburn 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.
Newburn 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 Lemington, Throckley.

Newburn 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.
Newburn sits on the north bank of the Tyne where wind-driven rain off the river hits the back of the housing stock harder than most of west Newcastle. The result is that fascias, soffits and gutters here tend to fail 5–10 years sooner than the manufacturer warranty would suggest — and we get called out for roofline jobs across Newburn, Lemington and Throckley most weeks.
The most common Newburn job is a full UPVC roofline replacement: stripping the old timber fascias and soffits, fitting new continuous-flow ventilated soffits to current building regs, replacing all guttering and downpipes with high-capacity 112mm UPVC, and capping with a colour-matched fascia board. A typical 3-bed semi takes 1–2 days, scaffold included.
Recent Newburn roofline jobs include: full white UPVC replacement with black guttering on a 1930s semi off Hospital Lane, a soffit-only refresh with new vents on a Throckley bungalow, and a new high-capacity guttering run for a corner-plot house in Lemington that had been overflowing every storm.

From the Tyne bridges to the Wear's winding path, this metropolitan county pulses with energy and history. Our team has worked on properties ranging from listed quayside warehouses to sprawling new-build estates, adapting techniques and materials to each unique setting.
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.
As well as roofing, we also offer these services to homeowners in Newburn.
