Pitched roofing in Binley

Planning your roof work in Binley

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 Binley, building control is provided by Coventry City Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

If more than half the roof is renovated, loft insulation usually has to be brought up to current standards.
Changing to a different-looking tile in a conservation area may need planning consent.
Re-covering more than about a quarter of a pitched roof normally needs building regulations approval or self-certification.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Your questions answered

What should I do before the roofers arrive?

Clear the loft of valuables or cover them with dust sheets, and move cars from the drive if the scaffold or skip needs the space. Let your neighbours know about the scaffold, especially on a shared drive or terrace. If you have solar panels, satellite dishes or aerials on the roof, tell us at survey so we can plan for them.
