Before your roof work in Norton Canes
Work like this in Norton Canes 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, Cannock Chase District Council is the authority.
- Bats are protected by law, so work stops if signs of roosting are found in the loft or roof.
- 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?
Roof repairs
Replacing broken or slipped tiles, re-fixing loose verges, renewing lead flashings and tracing leaks. Repairs suit roofs that are mostly sound, with problems in one area. We use matching tiles where they're still made or reclaimed ones where they aren't, and we'll tell you honestly if repairs won't last.
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.

Before you book in Norton Canes
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 Norton Canes?
Yes. Norton Canes (WS11) is about 11 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.
Will I need permission from the council in Norton Canes?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Norton Canes is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
