What we check on a property in Westwood Heath
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Westwood Heath, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Solar panels and roof fittings
Panels, aerials, vents and old satellite brackets all penetrate or load the covering. We check the fixings and the weatherproofing around them, and plan how they come off and go back if the roof is being stripped.
Valleys
Valleys carry more water than any other part of the roof. We check for debris, splits in the lead, failed mortar on the tile edges and anything restricting the flow, because a blocked valley backs water up under the tiles.
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.
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.
Moss and organic growth
We note how much there is and where. Heavy moss means water is being held against the tiles and gutters are probably taking the debris, and it also tends to mark the shaded, slowest-drying part of the roof.
Ridge and hip mortar
We check every ridge and hip for cracked, missing or drummy mortar. It is the most common failure on an otherwise sound roof and the one most likely to become dangerous in a gale.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which areas near Westwood Heath do you also cover?
The closest are Canley (about 0.8 miles away), Tile Hill (about 1.2 miles away), Mount Nod (about 1.9 miles away) and Eastern Green (about 2.1 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 Westwood Heath. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
How quickly can you get to Westwood Heath?
Quickly — it is about 3.3 miles south-west 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.
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.
Do you do emergency and storm damage work?
Yes. The first job is making the roof safe and stopping water getting in — securing or removing anything loose, and sheeting where needed. The permanent repair follows once it can be done properly and safely. We photograph damage as we find it, which is what insurers ask for, and we will not work on a roof in conditions that make it dangerous.
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.
What is roof flashing and why does it fail?
Flashing is the weatherproofing where the roof meets something else: a chimney, a wall, a valley, a soil pipe. It is usually lead, dressed and tucked into a mortar joint. It fails when the mortar holding it goes, when the lead splits from decades of thermal movement, or when someone has sealed over it with mastic instead of replacing it. Flashings are behind a large share of the leaks we trace.
