What goes into re-roofing?
Re-roofing means stripping a pitched roof back to the rafters and replacing the membrane, battens, tiles or slates, ridge and flashings. It is needed when a roof covering reaches the end of its life, and it is the right time to improve loft insulation.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Roof survey and quotation
- Strip old covering and check timbers

How is re-roofing approved in Barry?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Wales, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.
What should I think about before starting?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
