From Humble Beginnings in Darlington to Nationwide Recognition
The story of CDMD Group begins in Darlington, with our now-director Charles Douthwaite, a driven sole trader with a strong work ethic and a clear vision. Over a decade ago, Charles started out with little more than his toolkit and a passion for quality workmanship. In fact, he didn’t even have a van in those early days — just determination, resilience, and a commitment to doing the job right.
Fast-forward to today, and CDMD Group is a far cry from a one-man-band. Under Charles’ leadership, the company has grown at an incredible pace, evolving into one of the UK’s fastest-growing roofing and property service providers. His drive for innovation, efficiency, and raising industry standards has helped turn CDMD into a trusted name in both residential roofing and large-scale commercial projects.
We now work across the entire UK — from Cornwall to Scotland, London to Wales, and everywhere in between. Our reach includes both domestic properties and major commercial developments, with clients ranging from local homeowners to some of the biggest and most recognisable brands on the planet.
Despite our rapid growth, our core values haven’t changed. We still prioritise quality, reliability, and customer service in everything we do. Every member of our expanding team shares the same commitment Charles had from day one — to deliver exceptional results, with honesty and integrity at the centre of every job.
As CDMD Group continues to expand its services and reputation, our story is still being written — and we’re proud to be doing it with a team that’s built on trust, skill, and a genuine passion for the work.
We’re not just raising roofs — we’re raising standards.
