Which options suit homes in Hall Green?
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.
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 Hall Green?

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.
Will I need permission from the council in Hall Green?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Hall Green is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
