Re-roofing in Lincolnshire

Covering Lincolnshire

Our coverage across Lincolnshire includes Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Boston.

Homes in the East Midlands

The East Midlands combines red-brick terraces in the cities with a lot of post-war and modern estate housing, so rear extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions are all common.

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.

Do you need permission for re-roofing in Lincolnshire?

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 can change the price or programme?

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