Working in Birmingham

Birmingham's housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like Erdington, Kings Heath and Moseley to inter-war semis, tower blocks and large commercial buildings. From Rugeley we reach the north of the city via the A38 and the M6 Toll.

In Birmingham's terraced streets the roofs, chimneys and gutters are often shared or close to neighbours, so access, party-wall details and safe working over pavements matter as much as the roofing itself. Birmingham's Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have slate roofs with shared chimneys and rear outriggers, and the inter-war suburbs have hipped tile roofs and bay windows.

In Birmingham (B postcodes), Birmingham City Council handles both planning applications and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is reached via the A38 and M6 Toll.

How we work

We inspect from scaffold or a safe access point, photograph what we find and talk you through it, so you can see why a repair or replacement is recommended. Because scaffolding comes from our sister company, Staff4dshire Scaffolding, access is booked in-house and we avoid the usual wait for a third-party scaffolder.

Every quote is itemised: what will be stripped, which materials go back, how the verges, ridges and abutments will be finished and how the site will be left. We work to the roof, not to a template, and we tidy and magnet-sweep the ground at the end of each day.

Roofing in Birmingham: common questions

What roofs do you see most in Birmingham?

Birmingham's Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have slate roofs with shared chimneys and rear outriggers, and the inter-war suburbs have hipped tile roofs and bay windows.

Can you replace soffits, fascias and guttering at the same time?

Yes. Doing roofline while the scaffold is up saves you paying for access twice. We supply and fit uPVC soffits, fascias, bargeboards, gutters and downpipes.

Do you fit dry verge and dry ridge?

Yes. We fit mechanically fixed dry verge and dry ridge systems, and we also carry out traditional mortar-bedded verges and ridges where they suit the property better.

Can you match the tiles or slates on my Birmingham home?

In most cases, yes. We source matching concrete, clay or slate where possible, and use reclaimed materials on older properties when new ones would look out of place.

Which areas near Birmingham do you cover?

As well as Birmingham itself we regularly cover Erdington, Kingstanding, Great Barr, Castle Bromwich and Perry Barr, and the rest of Staffordshire and the West Midlands from our base in Rugeley.
