A roof replacement, or re-roof, strips the old tiles or slates, battens and felt from a pitched roof and replaces them with a new breathable membrane, battens and covering, repairing timbers and renewing ridges, valleys and flashings at the same time.
Whatever type of house you own in Bedworth, we start by looking at how a new roof would fit it rather than offering a standard package. We cover CV12 and neighbouring places such as Nuneaton, Coventry and Hinckley. One named person looks after you from survey to handover, and nothing is booked until you hold our figure in writing, fixed for the work described.

Building in Bedworth
Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick have timber-framed and Georgian buildings, and Leamington Spa is known for Regency stucco terraces and villas. Nuneaton and Bedworth have brick terraces from their mining and industrial past, Rugby mixes Victorian housing with large new estates, and southern villages near the Cotswolds use limestone and blue lias.
Regency and period homes may need render repairs, decorating and windows that suit conservation areas. Terraces suit loft conversions and extensions, and newer estate homes often take garage conversions and landscaping.
If your house in Bedworth fits one of these patterns, it helps us anticipate what a new roof will involve, though we always confirm the details on site.
Permissions for a new roof in Bedworth
Because Bedworth falls under England's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
Re-roofing a house with similar materials does not usually need planning permission in England. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent if the covering changes.
Replacing more than a quarter of a roof’s covering counts as renovation under Building Regulations, so the work is notified and the roof insulation may need upgrading. Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
Free site survey
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about a new roof.
Quote in writing
You get the price in writing, itemised so you can see where the money goes. As long as the specification stays the same, that is the price you pay for a new roof.
Dates and permissions
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
Finish and handover
The work is carried out to the agreed specification, with floors and furniture protected and the site kept tidy. At the end we clean up, walk through the finished job with you and hand over any certificates.
Why homeowners choose us
Common questions
What happens if it rains during the work?
We strip the roof in sections and only remove as much covering as we can replace or protect the same day. New breathable membrane goes on straight after stripping, which keeps most rain out, and we sheet exposed areas at the end of each day and before forecast showers. If heavy rain or high winds are forecast, we pause work. The house is never left open.
How long will a new roof last?
A well-installed roof lasts for decades. Concrete tiles typically last around 50 years or more, clay tiles longer, and natural slate can last a century with proper upkeep. Lifespan depends on the quality of materials, fixings, ventilation and leadwork, and on how exposed the roof is. Keeping gutters clear and fixing slipped tiles quickly helps it reach its full life.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
How long will a new roof take?
On a typical home, allow 1–2 weeks on site, plus scaffolding time. Larger projects, older buildings and extra work found once things are opened up can extend that, while simpler jobs may be shorter. Your quote includes an estimate of time on site, and your point of contact keeps you updated on the programme as the work progresses.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Re-roofing a typical semi-detached house takes around one to two weeks once scaffolding is up, depending on the roof's size, complexity and the weather. Smaller terraced roofs can take a few days. Scaffolding usually goes up a day or two before work starts and comes down once everything is inspected. We give you a programme and keep the roof weathertight overnight.
