Professional
roofing services in Dorridge
Extensions in Dorridge often have the space to become a significant part of the house, rather than a small addition. That changes what the roof needs to do. A loft conversion, larger rear room or new-build plot may combine a pitched section with a flat element, rooflights or a new gutter run. The roofing stage is carried out alongside the homeowner’s appointed architect or builder, translating the agreed roof form into the underlay, battens, covering and flashings that complete it. Traditional slate and clay sit alongside concrete tile and contemporary flat roof designs in the area, so material selection needs to make visual as well as practical sense. Before installation, the roof line, structural openings, water route and scaffold access should all be clear.

roofing services in Dorridge
clay roofing
For a detached house with clay tiles, a complete renewal is an opportunity to reset the roof from the underlay upwards. The existing covering is removed, then battens and tile courses are laid out for clean eaves, verges, hips and ridges. Clay's natural variation needs careful setting out across visible elevations. This helps the new covering read as a considered whole rather than an assortment of cuts at the roof edges.
Slate roofing
Slate can give a restrained finish to a traditional Dorridge property or a carefully designed new addition. The roof covering is dependent on the right lap, fixing method and support beneath it, so a replacement addresses these together rather than treating slate as a surface alone. Details around a dormer cheek, valley or chimney are formed to guide water back onto the roof and down to the gutters.
concrete roofing
Concrete tile roofs on post-war homes can be renewed with a system suited to the roof pitch and the tile profile selected. C Kearney Roofing strips the roof and renews the layers that support the finished covering, including underlay and battens. Dry ridge or verge detailing may be considered where suitable for the specification. The aim is a tidy, properly finished roof edge across the main house or a substantial side extension.
Roofing for New Build / extensions
A Dorridge extension can involve a broad rear elevation, a dormer or a new wing, so the roof needs to be worked into the design before the finishing trades arrive. C Kearney Roofing carries out roofing for new builds and extensions alongside homeowners, architects and builders. The work can include pitched construction, flat sections, rooflight openings and the details where a new roof meets brickwork or an existing slope.
Flat roofing
in Dorridge
Flat roofing is often part of a rear kitchen extension or a converted garage. C Kearney Roofing installs replacement flat roofs with a felt system applied by torch, GRP or EPDM, according to the scope. The construction needs adequate falls toward the outlet and properly formed upstands where it meets walls. This is also the stage to allow for a lantern or rooflight, rather than cutting an opening once the roof is complete.
bespoke lead work
Leadwork earns its place at the awkward areas of a roof: around a stack, below an abutment, inside a valley or over a bay. Projects can include fresh lead-roof installation, work to existing lead and restoration of historical lead features. Lead sections are formed with suitable laps and detailing so they can accommodate natural movement. The finished work should shed water onto the covering without relying on a visible line of mastic.
Commercial and industrial roofing
Alongside residential work, we support commercial and industrial clients in and around Dorridge with commercial roofing and industrial roofing projects across the West Midlands.
From offices and retail units to warehouses and light industrial sites, we provide comprehensive roofing services including surveys, installation, planned maintenance and reactive emergency roof services to keep your business operating safely.

Customer Testimonials
One large flat roof with Parapet walls and rooflights and a front porch that required extensive unforeseen additional works.
The guys were courteous, pleasant and hard working. The working and surrounding areas were kept clean and tidy throughout.
Two great jobs done for the quoted price, I would highly recommend this company.
He arrived promptly at the arranged time and after some street level review he got the ladders and inspected properly finding more issues outside of our original thoughts. He then took the time to explain and show pictures of his findings and reason that a part repair was not the way to go.
Having received a quotation detailing all works and the materials he would use and decided to contract C Kearney roofing to undertake a full strip and re-tile plus repair chimneys and bay window roof.
As the date for start loomed closer Craig supplied a full schedule of works which he maintained fully to the end.
His dedicated team were professional, courteous and tidy all through and ensured the site was left clean every day. Inevitably issues were found along the way as would be expected removing a 60 year old roof but Craig and the team tackled these and moved on. Each day Craig either phoned or sent photos of progress and kept us fully up to date.
We are so glad we chose C Kearney Roofing for the job and have no reservations about using them again to replace bay cladding and canopy roof at a future time.

Dorridge Roofing FAQs
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Dorridge?
The duration of a roof replacement depends on the size and complexity of the project, but on average, it takes between 3 to 7 days to complete, similar to our work across the wider West Midlands. Weather conditions and material availability can also affect the timeline.
Can a rooflight be included in a new loft or extension roof?
Yes, if it is included in the proposed design and the roof structure is set out for the opening. The surrounding roof layers, kerb or flashing system and drainage have to be formed around it correctly. Discussing the rooflight position before installation enables the opening to be framed and the selected slate, tile or flat-roof material to be detailed neatly around it.
What is involved in roofing a loft conversion in Dorridge?
A loft conversion can alter the main roof, introduce dormers or add rooflights, so the roofing work follows the approved design and structural stage. The work may involve forming the new roof areas, fitting underlay and battens, laying the selected covering and detailing the connection to the original slope. Access, leadwork and gutter changes should be considered before the covering is installed.
Do you offer warranties on your roofing work?
Yes, we provide warranties on all our roofing services to give you peace of mind. The length and terms of the warranty vary depending on the materials used and the scope of the work, and will always be clearly explained in your quotation.
Are you familiar with local building regulations in Dorridge?
Absolutely. We are well-versed in local building regulations in Solihull and across the West Midlands and ensure all our work complies with the latest standards and requirements. We also work closely with other professionals where needed to make sure your roofing systems are fully compliant and built to last.
