All wild birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Under Section 1 of this Act, it is illegal to destroy a bird’s nest while it is in use or being built.
As any reputable roofer would tell you, the best time to work on a roof is when the weather is warm and dry. Wet weather can stop a roof repair in its tracks and windy weather can be incredibly dangerous when working at height.
Many people have no idea that their roof is not watertight until a storm hits and wind-driven rain leads to damp spots on the ceiling or that dreaded ‘drip, drip, drip’ on the floor.
If you live in a listed property that needs major roofing work performed then you will likely need to get listed building consent before you can start the project.
Whether you opt for slate, concrete or clay tiles, and whether they are interlocking or plain, you can expect to pay at least a few thousand pounds to tile a whole roof.
