Pitched roofing in Stoke-on-Trent

Pitched roofing in Stoke-on-Trent: approvals and local details

Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Stoke-on-Trent City Council is the authority.

Bats are protected by law, so work stops if signs of roosting are found in the loft or roof.
Dry-fix ridge systems avoid the cracked mortar that causes many ridge leaks.
Lead valleys and chimney flashings are common leak points on older roofs in Stoke-on-Trent.

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.

Chimney work

Repointing brickwork, renewing the cement flaunching around the pots, fitting cowls or caps, and replacing the lead flashings where the stack meets the roof. If a chimney is no longer used, removing it below the roofline may be an option, though that involves structural checks and, on shared stacks, your neighbour.

Your questions answered

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.

How do I book a survey in Stoke-on-Trent?

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 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.

Will I need permission from the council in Stoke-on-Trent?

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