New Roofs for Homes in Codsall
Re-roofing in Codsall is steady, sensible work: houses from the thirties to the seventies whose original tiles have simply served their time. We strip to the timbers, fit breathable membrane and treated battens, and recover in tiles suited to the house, with ridges and verges dry-fixed so there is no mortar to fail next time. On the village’s detached houses we plan deliveries and scaffold around drives and gardens people care about.
We cover Codsall and the surrounding area: Bilbrook, Codsall Wood, Oaken, Birches Bridge, Husphins Lane end and beyond (WV8).

How It Works
New Roofs in Codsall, FAQs
Less than people fear when it is planned properly. We agree scaffold positions before the day, sheet borders under the working areas, and clear as we go, the garden matters in a village plot and we treat it that way.
If the roof is original, doing it while you choose the timing is the calm version of the job. A new roof now means decades without roof worries, and it is easier on every budget than an emergency version of the same work in ten years.
The felt is usually the decider. If the membrane under the tiles has gone brittle and torn across large areas, every repair is temporary because water finds the next tear. Widespread nail failure and constant slipped tiles point the same way. We will tell you straight which category your roof is in, and quote a repair instead if that is the honest answer.
Ridge and hip tiles were traditionally bedded on mortar, which cracks with the seasons and eventually lets tiles come loose. A dry ridge system clamps them mechanically with screws and brackets, allows the roof to breathe, and does not need rebedding every few years. It costs a little more on day one and saves money every year after.
It comes down to the house, the street and the budget. Natural slate looks superb on older houses and lasts generations; fibre cement slate gives a similar look for less; concrete tiles are the workhorse choice. We bring samples and give you prices for each so you can compare properly.
