Re-roofing in Wiltshire

Covering Wiltshire

Our re-roofing service in Wiltshire covers Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge and Chippenham and more.

Homes in the South West

The South West mixes stone and render cottages, Victorian terraces in the larger towns and modern estates, and many historic centres are conservation areas where materials and roof shapes are closely controlled.

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 Wiltshire?

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 should Wiltshire homeowners check first?

Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.

Questions about re-roofing in Wiltshire

Do I need planning permission to re-roof?

Not usually for like-for-like replacement, unless the house is listed or in a conservation area with extra controls.

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 Wiltshire?

We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
