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 control applications to the council
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- Breathable membrane and new battens
How much should I budget for re-roofing?
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 |
Planning and building rules in Craigavon
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 can change the price or programme?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- 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.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

Should I replace the fascias at the same time?

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.
