Pitched roofing in Heath Hayes

Pitched roofing in Heath Hayes: approvals and local details

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 Heath Hayes, building control is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Re-covering more than about a quarter of a pitched roof normally needs building regulations approval or self-certification.
Bats are protected by law, so work stops if signs of roosting are found in the loft or roof.
Roofs are stripped in sections and covered each day, so the house isn't left open to the weather.

Which option fits your home?

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.

Questions about pitched roofing in Heath Hayes

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.

Do you cover Heath Hayes?

Yes. Heath Hayes (WS12) is about 13 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.

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.

Who approves pitched roofing in Heath Hayes?

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