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

Which options suit homes in Walsall Wood?
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.
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.

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 Walsall Wood?
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.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Walsall Wood?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Walsall Wood is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
