Covering Skegness
Alongside Skegness, we also cover Boston, King's Lynn (27 miles to the south) and Spalding.
Homes in the East Midlands
Housing in the East Midlands includes Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, with stone-built villages in some areas where conservation controls apply.
What is 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.
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- Breathable membrane and new battens
- New tiles or slates, ridge and verge
How much should I budget for re-roofing?
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 Skegness
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England.
What should I think about before starting?
- Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
- 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.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Your questions answered
How long does it take?
One to three weeks for most houses, weather permitting.
Should I replace the fascias at the same time?
Usually yes, because the scaffolding is already up.
Who deals with the council for a project in Skegness?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
