Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a new roof or repairs?
In the vast majority of cases, replacing or repairing a roof falls under permitted development and does not require planning permission. Permission is typically only required if you live in a conservation area, a listed building, or are significantly altering the height or shape of the roof. We will advise you of any building notice requirements.
How do I know if my roof needs a full replacement or just a repair?
We will inspect your roof's condition. If the tiles are generally sound and the underlay is intact, a simple localized repair is best. If tiles are crumbling, or the underlay is sagging and leaking in multiple spots, a re-roof is usually more cost-effective in the long run.
Do you remove all the old tiles and roofing waste from the site?
Absolutely. As a professional, fully-insured roofing company, we handle all waste disposal. We use registered skips to ensure your property is left spotless and all old roofing materials are recycled responsibly.
Is scaffolding required for my roofing project?
Scaffolding is usually required for full roof replacements and major chimney work to ensure our team works safely. For minor tile repairs or gutter cleaning, we can often work from ladders or specialized safety systems. Scaffolding costs are always included in our upfront quotes.
Do you handle commercial roofing projects?
Yes. We are fully equipped and insured to handle both domestic roofing work and larger commercial contracts across Berkshire & Oxfordshire.
My project seems very complex, can you still help?
Don't rule yourself out. We'd rather you give us a call and talk through your situation, no matter how complex or unique it seems. We have over 15 years of experience solving difficult roofing and structural challenges.
