What should you know before starting in Studley?
Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Studley? Check with Stratford-on-Avon District 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.
- Re-covering more than about a quarter of a pitched roof normally needs building regulations approval or self-certification.
- Changing to a different-looking tile in a conservation area may need planning consent.
- A new covering that's 15% or more heavier than the old one needs the roof structure checking.

Which option fits your home?
Ridge and hip work
Ridge and hip tiles were traditionally bedded in mortar, which cracks and washes out over time. We can re-bed them in mortar with mechanical fixings, or convert to a dry-fix system that clips the tiles down without mortar. Dry-fix needs less maintenance and is now standard on new roofs.
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 Studley?
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 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 Stratford-on-Avon District Council need to approve my roof work?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Studley is provided by Stratford-on-Avon District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
