Choices to weigh up in Yardley

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.

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.

Pitched roofing in Yardley: common questions

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.

Which postcodes in Yardley do you work in?

We cover B25, B26 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Yardley, neighbouring Stechford and Sheldon are covered too.

Repair or replace: how do I know which my roof needs?

A roof usually needs replacing when the problems are widespread rather than local: the old felt has perished, nails have rusted so tiles slip all over, or tiles are flaking and porous. If the issues are in one area, such as a valley, ridge or flashing, a repair is usually enough. We show you photos from the survey so you can see the condition yourself.

Who approves pitched roofing in Yardley?

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