Coventry is on our list of Midlands areas for roof repairs, new roofs, spray foam removal and loft insulation. If you're not sure what your roof needs, we can survey it first.
Worn-out leadwork gets replaced with new lead, not covered over with flashband, and a repair is done so it doesn't need doing again.
Where the problem isn't clear, a survey looks at the timbers, moisture, ventilation, the felt and any spray foam, with photos and readings, and tells you what needs attention and what doesn't.
Coventry has 19 conservation areas, the city council says, including Earlsdon, Kenilworth Road, Chapelfields, Stoke Green, Allesley Village and Hill Top.
The council's guidance is that taking out chimneys or changing a roof's original materials can spoil a conservation area, and that repairs should match the original materials and the way the roof was first built.
Some alterations in those areas may need planning permission and building regulations approval, and where an Article 4 Direction applies that can include roof extensions. A listed house may need listed building consent as well.
