Pitched roofing in Earlsdon

Planning your roof work in Earlsdon

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

Changing to a different-looking tile in a conservation area may need planning consent.
Bats are protected by law, so work stops if signs of roosting are found in the loft or roof.

Options to consider in Earlsdon

Valley repairs

Valleys, where two roof slopes meet, carry a lot of water and are a common source of leaks. Old lead valleys can split, and mortar-bedded valley tiles can crack. We replace them with new lead to the correct code, or with a pre-formed GRP valley trough, and re-cut and fix the tiles either side.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you cover Earlsdon?

Yes. Earlsdon (CV5) is about 19 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.

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.

Who approves pitched roofing in Earlsdon?

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