Re-roofing in Hertfordshire

Covering Hertfordshire

Our re-roofing service in Hertfordshire covers Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and St Albans and more.

Homes in the East of England

Across the East of England, newer estates often have integral garages and room for rear extensions, while older towns have Victorian terraces and conservation areas that shape what can be built.

What is included in re-roofing in Hertfordshire?

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.

What approvals does re-roofing need in England?

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 should Hertfordshire homeowners check first?

Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
