Pitched roofing in Droitwich Spa

Before your roof work in Droitwich Spa

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 Droitwich Spa, building control is provided by Wychavon District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Roofs are stripped in sections and covered each day, so the house isn't left open to the weather.
Dry-fix ridge systems avoid the cracked mortar that causes many ridge leaks.
Re-covering more than about a quarter of a pitched roof normally needs building regulations approval or self-certification.

Choices to weigh up in Droitwich Spa

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.

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.

Before you book in Droitwich Spa

What guarantee comes with a new roof?

The tiles, membrane and other materials come with the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your roof are set out in your quote. You'll also receive the building regulations certificate or completion record for a re-roof, which a buyer's solicitor will ask about when you sell. Keep these with your house documents.

Which postcodes in Droitwich Spa do you work in?

We cover WR9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Droitwich Spa, neighbouring Worcester and Bromsgrove are covered too.

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.

Does Wychavon District Council need to approve my roof work?

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