Which options suit homes in Stourbridge?

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.

How much should you budget in Stourbridge?

Guide prices start at £200 and run to £14,000 depending on size and specification. Full re-roof of a three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tiles, with scaffold: around £7,500–£11,500.

Before you book in Stourbridge

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.

Do you cover Stourbridge?

Yes. Stourbridge (DY8) is about 8 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.

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.

Does Dudley Council need to approve my roof work?

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