SIX THINGS, EVERY JOB
What you get with Eco Roofers
What we typically see on Nottinghamshire roofs
Nottinghamshire roof-stock splits roughly into Victorian + Edwardian terrace in central Nottingham (NG1, NG3, NG7), inter-war and post-war semis through Mapperley/Sherwood and the West Bridgford suburbs, ex-coalfield estates around Mansfield (NG18-NG20) and Worksop (S80-S81), plus pantile-and-stone period property in Newark and the Trent-valley villages.
Local weather notes. The county catches Trent-valley weather — fewer high-wind events than the Pennines but more sustained-saturation rainfall in extended wet spells. South-westerly storms strip tile fixings on the same nailing line.
Approved Document L 2022 sets the thermal performance baseline for new roofs (U ≤ 0.16 W/m²K pitched, ≤ 0.18 flat). On flat roofs, BS 6229:2018 sets the design and falls standard. Eco Roofers will guide you through any Building Control notification needed on your job.

What solar panel roof preparation actually is — and why it matters
Solar panel mounting on a tired or weathered roof can cause leaks at the rail-bracket fixings, premature roof failure under panel arrays, and structural concerns where the underlying battening is rotten. Pre-installation roof preparation prevents £4,000-£8,000 of consequential damage.
How we deliver solar panel roof preparation
Pre-install survey (free, 30 min) covers tile condition under the proposed panel area, batten condition (probed via opened ridge), structural rafter condition (loft inspection), and underlay condition. Tile reinforcement (usually pulling the under-panel tiles and replacing with reinforced detail) £400-£900. Battening replacement under panel area £600-£1,500.
