Residential Roof Replacement and Repairs – Birmingham

TessCon recently completed a full residential roof replacement project in Birmingham after a customer experienced persistent water ingress above a bedroom window.

The property had an existing solar panel system installed, which required careful removal before the roof could be inspected and repaired.

Project Background

After being contacted by the homeowner, our team carried out an initial inspection to assess the issue. Once the solar panels were safely removed, we discovered significant deterioration beneath the tiles — confirming that a full roof replacement would be the most effective long-term solution.

The client was fully informed throughout the process, with detailed photographic documentation of the roof’s condition provided before work commenced.

“We engaged with Tess Contractors (not for the first time) as we had water coming through our bedroom ceiling above the window. As we have solar panels on the rear roof, these needed to be taken off before the investigation on what was required to fix the problem. Once some of the tiles had been removed it was apparent it was going to be a big job. Rich took loads of pictures so we were well informed about the state of the roof.”– Mick Fry, Homeowner

Scope of Work

• Careful removal and reinstallation of all solar panels to allow for roof access and protection of the system.
• Removal of existing, weathered tiles and battens.
• Installation of high-performance RoofTX Max breathable membrane for improved insulation and ventilation.
• Fitting of new treated timber battens and high-quality concrete roof tiles for enhanced durability.
• Replacement of ridge sections and weatherproof detailing around the chimney and vent pipe to prevent future leaks.

Professionalism and Quality Throughout

Despite challenging weather conditions, the TessCon team maintained clear communication with the client, ensuring the project remained on schedule wherever possible.

Our operatives worked efficiently and respectfully, leaving the property clean and tidy at the end of each day.

“We decided to get the whole roof replaced rather than save a little money but run the risk of further issues. We agreed on a price which was very reasonable and also agreed a schedule for the works to take place. Everyone who worked on the roof was polite and friendly, especially Max who worked on the roof every day. When the job was completed, everything was left clean and tidy.”– Mick Fry, Homeowner

Results

The completed domestic roofing project delivered a watertight, energy-efficient finish that not only resolved the leak but also improved the property’s long-term structural integrity. The new roof complements the home’s exterior and provides lasting protection against the elements.

The customer was extremely pleased with the outcome and shared glowing feedback on the quality, communication, and professionalism of the TessCon team.
