Covering Vale of Leven
We work in Vale of Leven (G82, G83) and the places around it, including Greenock, Clydebank and Renfrew.
Homes in Dunbartonshire
Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.
What does re-roofing involve?
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.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Roof survey and quotation
- Fascias, soffits and guttering if required

How is re-roofing approved in Vale of Leven?
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
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?
- Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
- Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.
What happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- 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.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Re-roofing: common questions
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 Vale of Leven?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
