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 is included in re-roofing in Coleraine?
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 control applications to the council
- Scaffolding and edge protection
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge

Planning and building rules in Coleraine
In Northern Ireland the council handles both planning and building control. Permitted development rules are set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and there is no party wall act, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing.
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?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
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.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

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.
