What is included in re-roofing in Perth?
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.
- Roof survey and quotation
- Breathable membrane and new battens
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge

Planning and building rules in Perth
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Scotland, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.
What should I think about before starting?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
