After more than three decades in Chester-le-Street, Wensley Roofing is entering an exciting new chapter.
Established in 1987, Wensley Roofing began as a small, hardworking team dedicated to delivering high-quality roofing solutions across the North East. In 1989, we moved into our first premises in Chester-le-Street, County Durham – a place we’ve proudly called home for the past 35 years.
Over those years, we’ve grown from strength to strength, expanding our services, team, and client base. And now, thanks to continued business growth and the incredible support of our customers and partners, the time has come to take the next big step.
We’re thrilled to announce that Wensley Roofing is relocating to a brand-new, larger facility on Team Valley in Gateshead.
This move represents more than just a change of address. It’s a symbol of how far we’ve come as a business – and a signal of where we’re going. The new premises will give us the space and resources to continue growing, improving our services, and better supporting the communities and clients we serve.
Steven Luke, Managing Director comments, “This move marks a huge milestone for Wensley Roofing.”
“We’ve seen incredible growth in recent years, and this new premise reflects the ambition and scale of where we’re heading. It gives us the capacity to deliver even more for our clients, invest in our people, and continue building on the strong foundations we’ve laid since 1987. We’re proud of our roots in Chester-le-Street, and we’re excited for what the future holds in Team Valley.”
We want to take a moment to thank our loyal customers, dedicated staff, and everyone who has been part of our journey so far. Your trust and support have made this possible.
