Re-roofing in Hampshire

Covering Hampshire

We cover Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Gosport, and the towns around them.

Homes in the South East

Housing across the South East mixes inter-war semis, post-war estates and older cottages in villages and market towns, so rear and side extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and garage conversions all come up regularly.

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.

How is re-roofing approved in Hampshire?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England.

What can change the price or programme?

Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
