Homes in Lanarkshire

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 do you get with 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.

What is the guide price for re-roofing in Lanarkshire?

Typical ranges for re-roofing. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

Re-roofing	Guide price incl. VAT

Semi-detached house	£8,000 to £15,000
Detached house	£12,000 to £25,000

How is re-roofing approved in Lanarkshire?

Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.

Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Scotland, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.

What should I think about before starting?

Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.

What are the steps?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
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.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
