Northern Ireland has a high proportion of detached houses and bungalows outside the cities, which often suit side extensions, rear extensions and upward extensions.
What do you get with 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.
- Roof survey and quotation
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge
- Fascias, soffits and guttering if required
How much should I budget for re-roofing?
Guide prices for re-roofing, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
| Re-roofing | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Terraced house | £6,000 to £10,000 |
| Semi-detached house | £8,000 to £15,000 |
| Detached house | £12,000 to £25,000 |
Planning and building rules in Carrickfergus
Northern Ireland projects need planning clearance and building control approval from the local council. We prepare the applications and agree any work near neighbouring property directly with the neighbours.
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Northern Ireland, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.
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.
What happens after I enquire?
- 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.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
