Covering Limavady
We work in Limavady (BT49) and the places around it, including Coleraine, Derry and Portrush.
Homes in County Londonderry
Housing in Northern Ireland mixes terraces in Belfast and Derry with detached houses and bungalows in towns and rural areas, many with room to extend.
What does re-roofing involve?
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.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- Roof survey and quotation
- Strip old covering and check timbers

How is re-roofing approved in Limavady?
Northern Ireland projects need planning clearance and building control approval from the local council. We prepare the applications and agree any work near neighbouring property directly with the neighbours.
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Northern Ireland, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.
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.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
Do I need planning permission to re-roof?
Not usually for like-for-like replacement, unless the house is listed or in a conservation area with extra controls.
Should I replace the fascias at the same time?
Usually yes, because the scaffolding is already up.
Who deals with the council for a project in Limavady?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
