Birmingham Roof Pros is a roofing business for people's homes. Our three main services are roof replacement, flat roofing and roof repairs. Beyond those, we re-roof garages, fix storm damage as emergency roof repairs, and work on slate and tiled roofs. We repair and remove chimneys, renew lead flashing, fit roof windows, and fit dry ridge and dry verge, which hold the top and edge tiles on with clips in place of mortar. We also replace guttering and fascias and soffits, the boards along the roof edge and the panels tucked under them.
Where we work
Our base area is Birmingham, and we travel out across the West Midlands. Towns we cover include Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, West Bromwich, Halesowen, Dudley and Walsall, along with Smethwick, Oldbury and Shirley. Each of these councils has its own rules on conservation areas, scaffolding on the pavement and getting rid of an old roof once it comes off, and we read up on them before we start a job in that town.
How a job runs with us
It starts with your message on the quote form: your postcode and a line or two about what is wrong. Next, we visit and look at the roof, from the ground first and up close where it is safe. After that, you get a written quote that says what we will strip off, what goes back on, and whether scaffolding and a skip are part of the price. Nothing goes ahead until you say yes.
The rules we check before a quote
On re-roofs, the Planning Portal says you will not normally need a building control application if less than 25 per cent of the whole building envelope and less than 50 per cent of the roof is affected. It counts the walls, floor, roof, windows, doors, roof windows and roof-lights as the building envelope. Over those limits, or if the new covering adds 15 per cent or more to the roof's weight, approval is needed. We work out which side of that line your job falls on, and say so in the quote.
Birmingham City Council says there are 29 conservation areas in the city. If your house is in one, we price for materials that suit it. HSE, the Health and Safety Executive, says to tell builders about any asbestos in your home before they start work, so we ask about it on every garage roof.
Questions about Birmingham Roof Pros
Do you only work in Birmingham?
We work in Birmingham and in the towns around it. Send us your postcode and we'll tell you if we cover your street.
Do you keep old slates when you re-roof?
Yes, we keep the sound ones where we can. Historic England says slates can last longer than any other roof covering before they need repair, so good old slates are worth reusing.
Can I ask for just a repair instead of a new roof?
Yes, we can quote for a repair on its own. We'll tell you plainly if a repair will last, or if the roof is too far gone and a roof replacement makes more sense.
