Pitched roofing in Warwickshire

What should you know before starting in Warwickshire?

Work like this in Warwickshire 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, the district or borough council for your town is the authority.

Lead valleys and chimney flashings are common leak points on older roofs in Warwickshire.
Dry-fix ridge systems avoid the cracked mortar that causes many ridge leaks.
Re-covering more than about a quarter of a pitched roof normally needs building regulations approval or self-certification.

Options to consider in Warwickshire

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Warwickshire?

Expect to budget between £200 and £14,000 depending on size and specification in Warwickshire. Full re-roof of a three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tiles, with scaffold: typically £7,500–£11,500.

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.

Do you cover the whole of Warwickshire?

Yes — we cover Warwickshire from our West Bromwich base, including Coventry, Solihull and Birmingham. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Who approves pitched roofing in Warwickshire?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Warwickshire is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
