Pitched roofing in Alvechurch

Planning your roof work in Alvechurch

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Alvechurch? Check with Bromsgrove District Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your roof work are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.

Bats are protected by law, so work stops if signs of roosting are found in the loft or roof.
A new covering that's 15% or more heavier than the old one needs the roof structure checking.
Changing to a different-looking tile in a conservation area may need planning consent.

Which option fits your home?

Roof repairs

Replacing broken or slipped tiles, re-fixing loose verges, renewing lead flashings and tracing leaks. Repairs suit roofs that are mostly sound, with problems in one area. We use matching tiles where they're still made or reclaimed ones where they aren't, and we'll tell you honestly if repairs won't last.

Ridge and hip work

Ridge and hip tiles were traditionally bedded in mortar, which cracks and washes out over time. We can re-bed them in mortar with mechanical fixings, or convert to a dry-fix system that clips the tiles down without mortar. Dry-fix needs less maintenance and is now standard on new roofs.

Questions about pitched roofing in Alvechurch

What guarantee comes with a new roof?

The tiles, membrane and other materials come with the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your roof are set out in your quote. You'll also receive the building regulations certificate or completion record for a re-roof, which a buyer's solicitor will ask about when you sell. Keep these with your house documents.

Do you cover Alvechurch?

Yes. Alvechurch (B48) is about 12 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

Repair or replace: how do I know which my roof needs?

A roof usually needs replacing when the problems are widespread rather than local: the old felt has perished, nails have rusted so tiles slip all over, or tiles are flaking and porous. If the issues are in one area, such as a valley, ridge or flashing, a repair is usually enough. We show you photos from the survey so you can see the condition yourself.

Will I need permission from the council in Alvechurch?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Alvechurch is provided by Bromsgrove District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
