Covering Hexham
We work in Hexham (NE46) and the places around it, including Consett, Newburn and Stanley.
Because Northumberland covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.
Homes in the North East
Housing across the North East ranges from colliery terraces and Tyneside flats to suburban semis and modern estates, each with different options for extending.
What does re-roofing involve?
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
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge

Planning and building rules in Hexham
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England.
What should I think about before starting?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
What happens after I enquire?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
