Pitched roofing in Chelmsley Wood

What should you know before starting in Chelmsley Wood?

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Chelmsley Wood? Check with Solihull 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.
If more than half the roof is renovated, loft insulation usually has to be brought up to current standards.
Roofs are stripped in sections and covered each day, so the house isn't left open to the weather.

Which options suit homes in Chelmsley Wood?

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.

Full re-roof

Stripping the old covering and replacing it with new treated battens, breathable membrane and tiles or slates, with dry-fix ridges and verges and new flashings. A re-roof is the time to fix ventilation, upgrade loft insulation and replace damaged timbers. It's usually notified to building control or self-certified by a registered roofer.

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.

Who approves pitched roofing in Chelmsley Wood?

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