What is included in re-roofing in Grantham?
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.
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- Breathable membrane and new battens
- Fascias, soffits and guttering if required
How much should I budget for re-roofing?
Indicative costs for re-roofing. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.
| 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 England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England. Conservation areas with Article 4 directions and listed buildings are the exceptions.
What can affect re-roofing?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.

Your questions answered
Does re-roofing need building regulations?
In England and Wales, replacing a large part of the roof covering normally needs building control approval or a registered competent person, and insulation upgraded where practical.
Should I replace the fascias at the same time?
Usually yes, because the scaffolding is already up.
Can you visit a house in Grantham 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.
