Pitched roofing in Sandwell

What should you know before starting in Sandwell?

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

Roofs are stripped in sections and covered each day, so the house isn't left open to the weather.
A new covering that's 15% or more heavier than the old one needs the roof structure checking.
Dry-fix ridge systems avoid the cracked mortar that causes many ridge leaks.

Which option fits your home?

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.

Questions about pitched roofing in Sandwell

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.

How do I book a survey in Sandwell?

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.

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 Sandwell?

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