Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.
What is 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.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge

Planning and building rules in Hamilton
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 affect re-roofing?
- Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
From first call to completion
- 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.
- 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.
