Covering Ashington
Alongside Ashington, we also cover Bedlington, Blyth (4 miles to the south-east) and Morpeth.
Because Northumberland covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.
Homes in the North East
In the North East, terraces, semis and bungalows all offer room to extend, with stone-built villages and conservation areas in parts of County Durham and Northumberland.
What is included in re-roofing in Ashington?
We erect scaffolding, strip the old covering, check and repair the timbers, then lay a breathable membrane, new battens and the new covering, with dry-fix ridge and verge systems. Fascias, soffits and guttering can be replaced at the same time.

What approvals does re-roofing need in England?
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.
Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England. Conservation areas with Article 4 directions and listed buildings are the exceptions.
What should I think about before starting?
- Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.

- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
Does re-roofing need building regulations?
In England and Wales, replacing a large part of the roof covering normally needs building control approval or a registered competent person, and insulation upgraded where practical.
Should I replace the fascias at the same time?
Usually yes, because the scaffolding is already up.
How do I get a price for re-roofing in Ashington?
Use the guide price tool for a ballpark figure, then book a visit for a fixed written price for the agreed specification.
