Options to consider in Tile Hill
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.
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.

Pitched roofing in Tile Hill: common questions
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 Tile Hill?
Yes. Tile Hill (CV4) is about 19 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.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Tile Hill?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Tile Hill is provided by Coventry City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
