New Roofs & Re-Roofing in Perry Barr

A re-roof and the rainwater that goes with it

There is no point putting a new covering on if the water still cannot get away. On the lower-lying Perry Barr streets, where drainage is already under pressure, we treat the guttering, fascias and downpipes as part of the re-roof rather than an afterthought. New guttering with the correct falls, sound fascias and clear downpipes mean the new roof actually protects the walls below it.

What the re-roof covers

• Full strip of the old slate or tile and a check of the structure
• New breathable membrane and treated battens to current standard
• New tile or slate to suit the property and the rest of the street
• New guttering, fascias, soffits and downpipes set to the right falls
• New lead flashings to chimneys and abutments

Working on a busy street

Re-roofing a house on one of the arterial roads through Perry Barr takes a bit of planning. Scaffolding near a busy footpath has to be put up safely and kept out of pedestrians' way, deliveries of tile and slate have to be timed so they are not sitting on a clearway, and we keep the working area sheeted so nothing comes off the roof onto the path below. We sort the access and the logistics so the job runs cleanly even on a tight, busy frontage.

Built for a busy road

Homes fronting the main roads through Perry Barr take more weather and more vibration than a quiet cul-de-sac, so we fix flashings and ridges mechanically where it makes sense and use materials that will stand up to the exposure. We will give you a clear written quote covering the roof and the rainwater goods together, with no surprise extras. We are NFRC, TrustMark and Guild of Master Craftsmen accredited, and every new roof is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
