A new covering that's 15% or more heavier than the old one needs the roof structure checking.

Choices to weigh up in Tettenhall

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.

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 Tettenhall

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.

How do I book a survey in Tettenhall?

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.
