Pitched roofing in Leamington Spa

Planning your roof work in Leamington Spa

Work like this in Leamington Spa rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Warwick District Council is the authority.

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.
A new covering that's 15% or more heavier than the old one needs the roof structure checking.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Pitched roofing in Leamington Spa: common questions

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.

Do you cover Leamington Spa?

Yes. Leamington Spa (CV32) is about 25 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.

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 Warwick 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 Leamington Spa is provided by Warwick District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
