What is re-roofing?
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.
- Scaffolding and edge protection
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge
- Fascias, soffits and guttering if required
What will re-roofing cost?
Typical ranges for re-roofing. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Re-roofing | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Terraced house | £6,000 to £10,000 |
| Semi-detached house | £8,000 to £15,000 |
| Detached house | £12,000 to £25,000 |
Planning and building rules in Peterhead
In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Scotland, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.
What can change the price or programme?
- Heavier tiles than the original can overload old rafters.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
What are the steps?
- 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.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
