Re-roofing in Northumberland

Covering Northumberland

Our re-roofing service in Northumberland covers Blyth, Cramlington, Ashington and Bedlington and more.

Projects in Northumberland are taken on by arrangement, and any travel and accommodation costs for the team are shown openly in the quote.

Homes in the North East

The North East has terraced housing including Tyneside flats, inter-war semis and post-war estates, so loft conversions, rear extensions and layout changes are popular ways to add space.

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.

How much should I budget for re-roofing?

Indicative costs for re-roofing. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.

Detached house	£12,000 to £25,000

What approvals does re-roofing need in England?

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. Conservation areas with Article 4 directions and listed buildings are the exceptions.

What should Northumberland homeowners check first?

Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.

How does the project run?

Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
