Walsall roofing services
Walsall’s bay-fronted terraces, chimneys and shared roof lines leave little room for careless junctions. C Kearney Roofing handles roof replacement and bespoke lead work with a practical eye on the details that direct water away from walls and openings. We are a family business from Burntwood with over 20 years' experience.

roofing services in Walsall
Walsall’s dense Victorian terraces often put front bays, chimney stacks, parapet edges and party-wall junctions close together. Those are the places where leadwork has to be formed with care, because it channels water away from the building where several materials meet. A new lead apron, stepped flashing, soaker or valley is not simply a metal strip added at the end. It has to relate to the tiles or slate, the masonry and the roof pitch. Older workshops and solid-wall houses can bring their own awkward details, especially where access is limited from the street. We take time to examine those junctions as part of a roof renewal, then set out a clear proposed scope before work is arranged. That preparation helps.
SERVING ALL AREAS OF WALSALL
We take on replacement and leadwork projects across Aldridge, Brownhills and Willenhall, as well as properties nearer Walsall Town Centre where frontage space can be restricted before any project is arranged.

Walsall Roofing Services
clay roofing
Clay tiles suit many Victorian Walsall houses, where smaller units follow the character of steep roof slopes and bay projections. During a replacement, we take the covering back to assess the base it sits on. Fresh underlay, battens and correctly formed roof details give the new clay covering a sound setting, rather than simply changing the visible tiles.
Slate roofing
Slate can be an appropriate choice for period roofs where its thin profile and regular courses suit the building. The work calls for attention at every interruption in the slope, especially a chimney, party wall or valley. We replace slate roofs with the adjoining lead details in view, so the finished roof reads as one organised piece of work.
concrete roofing
Concrete interlocking tiles are found on later Walsall housing and on additions to older homes. A replacement gives the opportunity to address the supporting layers and roof edge components at the same time. Tile alignment, eaves support, verge treatment and ridge fixing all influence the finished appearance, particularly on a street where roofs are seen in a continuous row.
Roofing for New Build / extensions
A side or rear extension can introduce a new roof level beside a traditional main slope. We work with homeowners, architects and builders to produce a sensible connection between old and new. The discussion covers the pitch, roof covering, flashing position and drainage arrangement, so the junction is resolved before the project reaches the roofing stage.
Flat roofing
in walsall
A Walsall porch, garage or rear addition may need a flat roof covering that matches its use and construction. We consider EPDM, GRP or torch-on felt in relation to the deck, edge detail, outlets and roof shape. Water pooling and drainage are part of that assessment, because the route water takes is as important as the material across the surface.
bespoke lead work
On Walsall’s bay-fronted terraces, lead can be the defining detail between a tiled slope, a front wall and a window head. We handle new lead roofs and existing leadwork, including restoration of historical lead features. Chimney flashings, soakers and valleys are considered as part of the roof assembly, with laps and weathering arranged for the junction in front of us.

why Walsall Homeoevers Choose
C Kearney Roofing?
Choosing C Kearney Roofing means working with local roofers you can trust in the Walsall area and across the West Midlands.
- Lead details treated seriously. Bay roofs, stacks and party-wall junctions are common on Walsall terraces. We look beyond the broad roof slope to the junctions that need correctly shaped flashings, soakers or valleys as part of a replacement project.
- Built for close neighbours. Houses in Pleck, Chuckery and central streets can have limited side access and little spare frontage. Early access planning helps avoid a design that only works on paper and supports a more orderly site arrangement.
- Material choices explained plainly. A clay roof, slate roof or concrete-tile renewal should suit the property as well as the roof form. We explain the role of the covering and the layers beneath it without loading the conversation with vague claims.
- A record you can inspect. Our Google profile for C Kearney Roofing LTD records a 5.0 rating from 8 reviews. It includes comments on a difficult tiled roof with two bays, which is relevant to the types of detail found in Walsall.
- Work is covered. We are fully insured and carry public liability insurance on roofing and construction work. The company also offers workmanship guarantees with clear options, so the practical terms can be discussed before the work proceeds for the project.

Walsall Roofing FAQs
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Walsall?
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. Weather conditions and material availability can also affect the timeline.
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.
Are you familiar with local building regulations in Walsall?
Absolutely. We are well-versed in Walsall’s local building regulations and ensure all our work complies with the latest standards and requirements.
Can roof-space ventilation be considered during replacement work?
Roof-space ventilation and condensation should be looked at in context, including the existing insulation, roof construction and any ventilation paths. A replacement project can provide access to observe these details, but it is not sensible to assume every roof needs the same approach. We explain what is visible at the visit and how it relates to the proposed roof build-up.
Why are underlay and battens replaced during a strip and re-tile?
Tiles or slate rely on the layers beneath them for their fixing and support. When a roof is stripped, replacing the underlay and battens allows the new covering to be installed on an appropriate base. It also makes it possible to inspect the roof structure that was previously hidden, then deal with the roof build-up as one planned assembly.
What leadwork is normally used around a front bay window roof?
A bay roof can need lead at the wall junction, around small valleys or at changes between a tiled slope and a flat section. The exact arrangement is determined by the bay shape, pitch and existing roof materials. During a visit, we examine how water should travel across and away from the bay before setting out the proposed lead detail.
How is leadwork detailed around a Walsall chimney stack?
The right detail depends on the stack, roof covering and where the roof meets the masonry. A chimney may require stepped flashing at the sides, an apron at the front and a back gutter where water collects behind it. The lead needs to be formed to direct water onto the roof covering while allowing for the shape of the junction.
