Covering Swindon
We work in Swindon (SN1, SN25, SN26) and the places around it, including Calne, Wantage and Chippenham.
Homes in the South West
In the South West, matching local stone, render or slate is often the main design question, and conservation areas and listed buildings are common in historic towns.
What is included in re-roofing in Swindon?
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
- Strip old covering and check timbers
- Fascias, soffits and guttering if required
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.
| 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 |
How is re-roofing approved in Swindon?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England.
What can affect re-roofing?
- Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
- Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
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.
- 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.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
