Pitched roofing in Tividale

Planning your roof work in Tividale

Work like this in Tividale 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, Sandwell Council is the authority.

If more than half the roof is renovated, loft insulation usually has to be brought up to current standards.
Re-covering more than about a quarter of a pitched roof normally needs building regulations approval or self-certification.
Roofs are stripped in sections and covered each day, so the house isn't left open to the weather.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Pitched roofing in Tividale: common questions

How long does a re-roof take?

A typical semi takes around one to two weeks, including scaffolding, stripping, re-covering and clearing up. Rain and high winds can add days, because we don't strip sections we can't cover safely. Repairs, ridge work and most chimney jobs take a day or two once access is in place.

Do you cover Tividale?

Yes. Tividale (B69) is about 2 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 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 Tividale?

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