Re-roofing in Berkshire

Covering Berkshire

We cover Berkshire, including Reading, Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead, and the towns around them.

Homes in the South East

Many South East homes are inter-war or post-war semis and detached houses with room for rear and side extensions, while historic town centres and villages bring conservation area and listed building controls.

What is included in re-roofing in Berkshire?

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.

Planning and building rules in Berkshire

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it 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 can affect re-roofing?

Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
