Options to consider in Quinton

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 Quinton?

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

Questions about pitched roofing in Quinton

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.

Which postcodes in Quinton do you work in?

We cover B62 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Quinton, neighbouring Rowley Regis and Halesowen are covered too.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Quinton?

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