What We Do in Carlisle
Sterling Roofing Services has been Carlisle's trusted roofing company for over 20 years, serving homeowners and businesses throughout Cumbria.
We specialise in all aspects of roofing services, including:
Carlisle Roofers at Parkside
Our Carlisle team works from 27 Parkside (CA3 9SF), covering the city and the surrounding Cumbrian towns and villages. Sterling Roofing Services is family-run, with over 20 years in roofing, more than 1,000 roofs completed and 5-star ratings on Google and Yell.
Rain, Rivers and Roofs
Carlisle sits where the Eden, Caldew and Petteril meet, close to the border, and it sees plenty of heavy, persistent rain. That puts gutters, valleys and flashings under constant pressure. A blocked gutter or a lifted flashing that would be a minor nuisance elsewhere can soon become damp in a wall or a stain on a ceiling here.
Sandstone Terraces: Stanwix and Denton Holme
The red-sandstone terraces of Stanwix, Denton Holme and the older parts of the city typically have slate roofs, stone chimneys and lead valleys. We repair them like-for-like: matched slates, properly dressed lead and chimneys repointed in a suitable mortar. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, check any requirements with Cumberland Council, and we'll recommend suitable materials.
Newer Homes: Harraby, Kingstown and Morton
Newer housing around Harraby, Kingstown, Morton and Belah is mostly tiled, with plenty of flat-roofed extensions and garages. The usual jobs here are ridge and verge repairs, flat roof replacements and new fascias, soffits and gutters.

- Make sure everyone is safe and stay off the roof
- Move belongings away from any leak and photograph the damage
- Call us. We'll make the roof watertight first
- We'll inspect properly and provide photos and a written quote, which is useful for insurance claims
