Homes in the Scottish Borders
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What goes into re-roofing?
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.
- Scaffolding and edge protection
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- Fascias, soffits and guttering if required

Do you need permission for re-roofing in Peebles?
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Scotland, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.
What should Peebles homeowners check first?
- Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
What people ask before starting
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.
Can you visit a house in Peebles to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
