What is included in re-roofing in Coatbridge?
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.
- Scaffolding and edge protection
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge
What will re-roofing cost?
Typical ranges for re-roofing. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| 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 |
What approvals does re-roofing need in Scotland?
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Scotland, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.
What can change the price or programme?
- 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?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- 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.
Re-roofing: common questions
How long does it take?
One to three weeks for most houses, weather permitting.
Should I replace the fascias at the same time?
Usually yes, because the scaffolding is already up.
Can you visit a house in Coatbridge to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
