Re-roofing in Lancashire

Covering Lancashire

Our coverage across Lancashire includes Preston, Burnley, Blackburn and Blackpool.

Homes in the North West

The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.

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.

Do you need permission for re-roofing in Lancashire?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England. Conservation areas with Article 4 directions and listed buildings are the exceptions.

What should I think about before starting?

Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
