What should you know before starting in Atherstone?
This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Atherstone, building control is provided by North Warwickshire Borough Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).
- A new covering that's 15% or more heavier than the old one needs the roof structure checking.
- Roofs are stripped in sections and covered each day, so the house isn't left open to the weather.
- Lead valleys and chimney flashings are common leak points on older roofs in Atherstone.

Options to consider in Atherstone
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.
Pitched roofing prices in Atherstone
Expect to budget between £200 and £14,000 depending on size and specification in Atherstone. Full re-roof of a three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tiles, with scaffold: typically £7,500–£11,500.

Guide ranges include VAT where it applies. Access, parking and the state of what's there now can move the price — the survey settles it.
Pitched roofing in Atherstone: common questions
Will my house be exposed to the rain during a re-roof?
No. We strip and re-cover the roof in sections, and each area is covered with new membrane before the end of the day. If heavy rain is forecast, we hold off stripping. There will be noise and some dust in the loft, so it's worth moving anything valuable stored up there.
Do you cover Atherstone?
Yes. Atherstone (CV9) is about 19 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.
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.
Does North Warwickshire Borough Council need to approve my roof work?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Atherstone is provided by North Warwickshire Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
