Pitched roofing in Rugby

Planning your roof work in Rugby

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Rugby? Check with Rugby Borough 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.

Lead valleys and chimney flashings are common leak points on older roofs in Rugby.
Bats are protected by law, so work stops if signs of roosting are found in the loft or roof.
Re-covering more than about a quarter of a pitched roof normally needs building regulations approval or self-certification.

Choices to weigh up in Rugby

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.

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.

Your questions answered

What should I do before the roofers arrive?

Clear the loft of valuables or cover them with dust sheets, and move cars from the drive if the scaffold or skip needs the space. Let your neighbours know about the scaffold, especially on a shared drive or terrace. If you have solar panels, satellite dishes or aerials on the roof, tell us at survey so we can plan for them.

How do I book a survey in Rugby?

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.

What guarantee comes with a new roof?

The tiles, membrane and other materials come with the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your roof are set out in your quote. You'll also receive the building regulations certificate or completion record for a re-roof, which a buyer's solicitor will ask about when you sell. Keep these with your house documents.

Will I need permission from the council in Rugby?

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