Covering Longton
Our coverage around Longton (ST3) also includes Stoke-on-Trent (3 miles to the north-west) and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Homes in the West Midlands
Red-brick terraces and inter-war semis make up much of the housing in the West Midlands, which suits rear extensions, dormer lofts and hip-to-gable conversions, with more modern estates on the edges of the towns.
What is 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.

How is re-roofing approved in Longton?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England. Conservation areas with Article 4 directions and listed buildings are the exceptions.
What can affect re-roofing?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
