What should you know before starting in Streetly?
This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Streetly, building control is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).
- Changing to a different-looking tile in a conservation area may need planning consent.
- 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.

Choices to weigh up in Streetly
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 Streetly
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 Streetly?
Yes. Streetly (B74) is about 6 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.
Who approves pitched roofing in Streetly?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Streetly is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
