What we check on a property in Little Heath
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Little Heath, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Chimney stack condition
We look at the flaunching on top, the pointing, the brickwork for spalling, and whether a redundant stack is capped and ventilated. A chimney is a wall standing in the weather on all four sides.
Insulation depth and position
While we are in the loft we note the insulation. It affects condensation risk and ventilation requirements, and if the roof is coming off it is the obvious moment to put it right.
Tile pattern and availability
We identify the covering and check whether matching tiles are still obtainable, new or reclaimed. That answers early on whether a repair can be made invisible or will always show.
Lead quality and code
Lead that is too thin for its span splits from thermal movement, and over-long pieces do the same. We check the code and the lengths used, because an undersized flashing fails again whatever else is done.
Loft ventilation
A roof needs to breathe. We check for eaves and ridge ventilation and for insulation stuffed into the eaves blocking the airflow, because that is what turns an ordinary loft into a condensation problem.
Flashings at every abutment
Chimneys, party walls, dormer cheeks and soil pipes each need a sound flashing. We look for split lead, flashing pulled out of its joint, and the mastic repairs that usually mean the real fix was skipped.

The closest are Bell Green (about 0.5 miles away), Foleshill (about 0.5 miles away), Courthouse Green (about 0.6 miles away) and Edgwick (about 0.7 miles away). All of them are inside our normal working area, so a property on the boundary is no different to one in the middle of Little Heath. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
How quickly can you get to Little Heath?
Quickly — it is about 2.4 miles north-east of the city centre. Short distances are the main reason we can offer same-week surveys and come back promptly if something needs a second look.
My ridge tiles look loose. Is that urgent?
Treat it as urgent. A ridge tile that has lost its mortar bed is heavy, high up and has nothing holding it down in a gale. Beyond the obvious danger, an open ridge line lets water straight into the roof space along its whole length. Re-bedding and mechanically fixing a ridge is a relatively contained job compared with what a displaced one can cost.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Once a year is sensible for most houses, plus a look after any serious storm. An inspection is mostly about the things that fail before the tiles do: ridge and verge mortar, flashings, valleys, the state of the gutters and any slipped or cracked tiles. Catching those is the difference between pointing work and a ceiling repair.
What is dry fix, and why does everyone mention it now?
Dry fix means ridge, hip and verge tiles held by mechanical fixings and a weatherproof system instead of being bedded in mortar alone. Mortar shrinks, cracks and eventually lets go, which is why loose ridge tiles are such a common call-out. Since the 2014 revision of BS 5534 mortar on its own is no longer an acceptable fixing for new work, so a re-roof should include a mechanically fixed ridge.
What makes tiles slip?
Most often nail fatigue. The nails holding the tiles corrode over decades until they let go, and the tile slides. Rotten battens do the same thing. One slipped tile is a repair; a scatter of them across the whole roof usually means the fixings have reached the end of their life and patching will simply move the problem along.
How long should a roof last?
Natural slate can run 80 to 100 years or more. Clay tiles commonly reach 60 or beyond. Concrete interlocking tiles are usually good for 40 to 60. Fibre cement slates sit lower, around 30 to 50. But the covering rarely fails first — nails, battens, underlay, ridges and flashings all age faster, which is why a sound-looking roof can still need work.
