Choices to weigh up in Polesworth

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 Polesworth?

Guide prices start at £200 and run to £14,000 depending on size and specification. Full re-roof of a three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tiles, with scaffold: around £7,500–£11,500.

Pitched roofing in Polesworth: 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 Polesworth?

Yes. Polesworth (B78) is about 18 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.

Who approves pitched roofing in Polesworth?

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