Choices to weigh up in Bedworth

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.

Chimney work

Repointing brickwork, renewing the cement flaunching around the pots, fitting cowls or caps, and replacing the lead flashings where the stack meets the roof. If a chimney is no longer used, removing it below the roofline may be an option, though that involves structural checks and, on shared stacks, your neighbour.

Questions about pitched roofing in Bedworth

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.

Which postcodes in Bedworth do you work in?

We cover CV12 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Bedworth, neighbouring Nuneaton and Walsgrave are covered too.

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.

Does Nuneaton and Bedworth 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 Bedworth is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
