New Roofs for Homes in Tettenhall
A full re-roof on a Tettenhall period house is a serious project and worth doing once, properly. We strip carefully to salvage sound clay tiles or slates, rebuild any decayed timber, and re-cover over breathable membrane with the original material or the closest honest equivalent, keeping ridge details, deep verges and eaves courses true to the house.
We cover Tettenhall and the surrounding area: Tettenhall Wood, Upper Green, The Rock, Wergs, Newbridge and beyond (WV6).

What’s Included
These are also the roofs where the extras matter: tall stacks repointed while the scaffold is up, leadwork renewed in proper code lead, and ventilation added discreetly so the loft breathes without visible vents peppering the slopes. The result should look like the roof the house was built with, because largely it is.
- Stripped to the rafters, timbers checked and repaired
- Breathable membrane and treated battens throughout
- Concrete tile, clay tile, natural or fibre cement slate
- Dry ridge and dry verge systems as standard
- New lead flashings, chimney work while the scaffold is up
- Waste cleared daily, site left tidy
How It Works
New Roofs in Tettenhall, FAQs
It should not, and on these houses it must not. We salvage and reuse the original tiles or slates where they are sound, source matching reclaimed for the shortfall, and keep the ridge and verge details as built. The roof looks the same, it just works again.
On a Tettenhall Victorian, usually yes if the budget allows, natural slate is what the house was designed to carry, it lasts generations and it reads correctly against the neighbours. Fibre cement is the honest fallback and we price both so the decision is yours with real numbers.
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.
