Pitched roofing in Walsall

Planning your roof work in Walsall

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Walsall? Check with Walsall 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.

A new covering that's 15% or more heavier than the old one needs the roof structure checking.
Dry-fix ridge systems avoid the cracked mortar that causes many ridge leaks.
If more than half the roof is renovated, loft insulation usually has to be brought up to current standards.

Options to consider in Walsall

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.

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.
