What should you know before starting in Cannock?
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 Cannock, building control is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Which options suit homes in Cannock?
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.
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.

Your questions answered
How much does a new roof cost on a semi-detached house?
A full re-roof on a typical three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tiles usually costs around £7,500–£11,500 in the West Midlands, including scaffolding, strip-out, new battens, membrane, tiles and dry-fix ridges. Clay tiles or natural slate cost more. Rotten timbers, chimney work and insulation upgrades are priced as separate lines once we've seen the roof.
Do you cover Cannock?
Yes. Cannock (WS11) 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.
How long does a re-roof take?
A typical semi takes around one to two weeks, including scaffolding, stripping, re-covering and clearing up. Rain and high winds can add days, because we don't strip sections we can't cover safely. Repairs, ridge work and most chimney jobs take a day or two once access is in place.
Who approves pitched roofing in Cannock?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Cannock is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
