Re-roofing in Tonbridge

Covering Tonbridge

Our coverage around Tonbridge (TN9) also includes Tunbridge Wells (4 miles to the south) and Sevenoaks.

Homes in the South East

Housing across the South East mixes inter-war semis, post-war estates and older cottages in villages and market towns, so rear and side extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and garage conversions all come up regularly.

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.

Do you need permission for re-roofing in Tonbridge?

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. Conservation areas with Article 4 directions and listed buildings are the exceptions.

What can change the price or programme?

Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
