Which options suit homes in Codsall?
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.
How much should you budget in Codsall?
For a home in Codsall, our guide range is £200–£14,000 depending on size and specification. Full re-roof of a three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tiles, with scaffold: usually £7,500–£11,500.

Before you book in Codsall
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.
How do I book a survey in Codsall?
Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your roof work and arrange a time to visit.
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.
Does South Staffordshire Council need to approve my roof work?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Codsall is provided by South Staffordshire Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
