Pitched roofing in Kingswinford

What should you know before starting in Kingswinford?

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Kingswinford? Check with Dudley Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your roof work are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.

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.
Re-covering more than about a quarter of a pitched roof normally needs building regulations approval or self-certification.

Options to consider in Kingswinford

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

Repair or replace: how do I know which my roof needs?

A roof usually needs replacing when the problems are widespread rather than local: the old felt has perished, nails have rusted so tiles slip all over, or tiles are flaking and porous. If the issues are in one area, such as a valley, ridge or flashing, a repair is usually enough. We show you photos from the survey so you can see the condition yourself.

Which postcodes in Kingswinford do you work in?

We cover DY6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Kingswinford, neighbouring Wordsley and Brierley Hill are covered too.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Kingswinford?

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