Planning your roof work in Warwick
Work like this in Warwick 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, Warwick District Council is the authority.

Choices to weigh up in Warwick
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
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.
Which postcodes in Warwick do you work in?
We cover CV34 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Warwick, neighbouring Leamington Spa and Kenilworth are covered too.
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 Warwick?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Warwick is provided by Warwick District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
