Covering Dunblane
Alongside Dunblane, we also cover Stirling, Alloa (8 miles to the south-east) and Auchterarder.
Homes in the Forth Valley
Housing in Scotland includes tenements in the cities, sandstone villas, inter-war and post-war semis and a large number of bungalows, which often suit dormer and upward extensions.
What do you get with re-roofing?
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.

- Strip old covering and check timbers
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 |
What approvals does re-roofing need in Scotland?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Scotland, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.
What can affect re-roofing?
- Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Your questions answered
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.

Yes. Dunblane is within our coverage for re-roofing, along with nearby Stirling and Alloa.
