Re-Roofing & Roof Replacement In Dudley
Is Your Roof Reaching The End Of Its Life?
Full And Partial Re-Roofs For Homes Across Dudley And The Black Country
A lot of the housing stock around Dudley - the Victorian terraces in Netherton and Kates Hill, the inter-war semis in Russells Hall and Priory - is now reaching the point where the original roof covering needs replacing rather than patching. We strip off the old tiles and felt, check and repair the timbers underneath if needed, then fit new battens, breathable felt and tiles to bring the roof back up to standard.

What's Involved In A Re-Roof?
Strip Out
The existing tiles, felt and battens are removed and disposed of, exposing the roof timbers underneath.
Timber Inspection
We check the rafters and roof structure for rot or damage and carry out repairs before re-covering the roof.
New Breathable Felt
Modern breathable membrane is fitted to replace old bitumen felt, helping the roof space ventilate properly.
New Battens & Tiles
Treated timber battens and new tiles or slates are fitted, matched to your property and surrounding houses where possible.
Ridge, Hip & Verge Detailing
Ridge and hip tiles, dry verge systems and flashings are all renewed as part of the re-roof for a tidy, weathertight finish.
Full Clean-Up
Once the job's done we clear the site of old materials, debris and waste, leaving your property tidy.
A good number of the re-roofs we quote on in Dudley are for terraced houses where the original roof covering is around 70-100 years old and the felt underneath has perished, even if the tiles themselves still look reasonable from the ground.

Matching Your Street's Roofline
On terraced rows around Dudley, the roofline often runs continuously across several properties, so getting the tile colour and profile right matters - both for how the finished roof looks and, in some cases, for conservation area requirements. We'll talk through the options with you and, where it's useful, point out what's been used on neighbouring roofs.
Not sure if you need a repair instead? →How Much Does Re-Roofing Cost?

How do I know if I need a full re-roof rather than a repair?
If your roof is getting old, the felt underneath the tiles has started to perish, or you're getting repeated leaks in different spots, that's usually a sign the roof covering as a whole has reached the end of its life. We'll have a look and give you an honest opinion - if a repair will do the job, we'll say so.
How long does a re-roof take?
It depends on the size of the roof and the weather, but a re-roof on a typical terraced or semi-detached house in Dudley usually takes around a week to ten days from scaffolding going up to coming down, weather permitting.
Will you match the tiles to my neighbours' roofs?
Where possible, yes. On terraced rows especially, we try to match the new roof covering to the style and colour of surrounding properties, or we can discuss alternative options if you'd prefer a different look.
Do I need planning permission to re-roof my house?
Most straightforward re-roofs using similar materials to the existing roof don't need planning permission, as they fall under permitted development. If you're in a conservation area or changing the roof's appearance significantly, it's worth checking with Dudley Council - we're happy to advise based on what we see on site.
