Do I need building regulations for a new roof in Worcester?

Yes, if you are replacing more than 25% of your roof covering, you must notify South Worcestershire Building Control. This is to make sure the replacement meets current standards for thermal insulation. We can guide you through this process to keep your property compliant.

Why are banks refusing mortgages on houses with spray foam?

Lenders and RICS surveyors are concerned that spray foam, especially when applied directly to the roof underside, traps moisture against the wooden rafters. This can lead to rot that stays hidden until the roof becomes structurally unsafe. We remove the foam so your timbers can be inspected and breathe again.

How quickly can you fix a roof leak?

For emergencies in Worcester and the surrounding 20-mile radius, we aim to be on-site as fast as possible. We offer 24/7 coverage to provide immediate "make-safe" repairs, such as tarpaulin fitting or temporary tiling, before coming back to carry out a permanent fix.

Can you match the tiles on my older property?

We have extensive experience working in conservation areas like Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick. We understand the need for like-for-like materials and can source reclaimed or new matching slates and clay tiles to satisfy local planning requirements and keep the heritage look of your home.

How long does an EPDM flat roof last?

Unlike traditional mineral felt which can crack over time, EPDM rubber is a single-ply membrane that stays flexible. When installed correctly on a sound deck, these roofs can last 30 to 50 years. They are an excellent choice for garage roofs and flat extensions in places like Evesham and Bromsgrove.

Can you repair a shared chimney stack on a terraced house?

Yes, we frequently work on shared chimneys in Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Worcester and Birmingham. We handle everything from simple repointing and replacing lead flashings to the full removal of redundant stacks down to the roofline, making the area watertight with matching tiles.

Do you work on commercial buildings in the West Midlands?

We provide commercial roofing services across Redditch, Birmingham, and Coventry. This includes repairs to metal profile sheeting, commercial guttering systems, and flat roof overlays for industrial units and business premises.

What is the benefit of a conservatory warm roof?

Many older conservatories are too hot in summer and freezing in winter. By installing a lightweight insulated warm roof, we regulate the temperature. It turns the conservatory into a proper room while keeping the weight low enough that it doesn't put pressure on your existing window frames.

Is it possible to just replace a few tiles rather than the whole roof?

If the rest of the roof is in good condition, we can certainly perform targeted repairs. We replace broken tiles, fix leaking valleys, and repair ridge tiles. We only recommend a full replacement if the underlying felt or timbers have failed and a repair is no longer a cost-effective or safe option.

Specialist Capabilities

From Complete Re-Roofs to Spray Foam Mortgage Clearances

Our core capabilities cover the full lifespan of your roof. We don't just replace tiles; we inspect the underlying framework. When older roofs suffer from dry rot, sagging purlins, or decaying 1F bitumen felts, our team strips back the substrate to replace damaged rafters and install high-performance vapor-permeable membranes.

Specialist Spray Foam Insulation Removal

Mortgage lenders and RICS surveyors across Worcestershire routinely reject homes with spray foam insulation due to trapped condensation and hidden timber decay. We systematically extract open and closed-cell foam without damaging existing roof deck timbers.

Engineered Flat Roofing: EPDM, GRP & Torch-On Felt

Whether replacing an aging mineral felt garage roof or specifying seamless EPDM rubber on a new kitchen extension, we ensure correct falls to prevent ponding water and terminate with UPVC drip trims.

Victorian Chimney Repointing & Structural Removal

Shared chimney stacks on older brick terraces often suffer frost-blown mortar. We repoint in weather-appropriate lime or cement mixes, re-flaunch pots, or safely dismantle redundant chimneys down to ceiling level.
