Which options suit homes in Rowley Regis?
Full re-roof
Stripping the old covering and replacing it with new treated battens, breathable membrane and tiles or slates, with dry-fix ridges and verges and new flashings. A re-roof is the time to fix ventilation, upgrade loft insulation and replace damaged timbers. It's usually notified to building control or self-certified by a registered roofer.
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.

Do you cover Rowley Regis?
Yes. Rowley Regis (B64, B65) is about 3 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.
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 Rowley Regis?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Rowley Regis is provided by Sandwell Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
