Pitched roofing in Perton

Pitched roofing in Perton: approvals and local details

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Perton? Check with South Staffordshire 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.

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

Which options suit homes in Perton?

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.

What does your roof work cost in Perton?

Expect to budget between £200 and £14,000 depending on size and specification in Perton. Full re-roof of a three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tiles, with scaffold: typically £7,500–£11,500.

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.
