Pitched roofing in Stratford-upon-Avon

What should you know before starting in Stratford-upon-Avon?

Work like this in Stratford-upon-Avon rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Stratford-on-Avon District 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.
Roofs are stripped in sections and covered each day, so the house isn't left open to the weather.

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.

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.

Questions about pitched roofing in Stratford-upon-Avon

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.

Which postcodes in Stratford-upon-Avon do you work in?

We cover CV37 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Stratford-upon-Avon, neighbouring Alcester and Warwick are covered too.

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 Stratford-upon-Avon?

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