Which options suit homes in Penkridge?

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.

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.

How do I book a survey in Penkridge?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your roof work and arrange a time to visit.

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.

Does South Staffordshire Council need to approve my roof work?

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