Covering Droitwich
Alongside Droitwich, we also cover Bromsgrove, Worcester (6 miles to the south-west) and Redditch.
Homes in the West Midlands
The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s semis and Victorian terraces in red brick, so matching brick and roof tiles is often the key to an extension that looks original.
What do you get with re-roofing?
We erect scaffolding, strip the old covering, check and repair the timbers, then lay a breathable membrane, new battens and the new covering, with dry-fix ridge and verge systems. Fascias, soffits and guttering can be replaced at the same time.

- Strip old covering and check timbers
- Fascias, soffits and guttering if required

Planning and building rules in Droitwich
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England.
What can affect re-roofing?
- Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

In England and Wales, replacing a large part of the roof covering normally needs building control approval or a registered competent person, and insulation upgraded where practical.
Who deals with the council for a project in Droitwich?
