Pitched roofing in Wednesbury

Planning your roof work in Wednesbury

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

Changing to a different-looking tile in a conservation area may need planning consent.
Roofs are stripped in sections and covered each day, so the house isn't left open to the weather.
If more than half the roof is renovated, loft insulation usually has to be brought up to current standards.

Options to consider in Wednesbury

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.

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.

Your questions answered

How much does a new roof cost on a semi-detached house?

A full re-roof on a typical three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tiles usually costs around £7,500–£11,500 in the West Midlands, including scaffolding, strip-out, new battens, membrane, tiles and dry-fix ridges. Clay tiles or natural slate cost more. Rotten timbers, chimney work and insulation upgrades are priced as separate lines once we've seen the roof.

Do you cover Wednesbury?

Yes. Wednesbury (WS10) is about 3 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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Wednesbury?

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