Roofing advice

Do I need planning permission for a new roof?

When re-roofing usually doesn't need planning permission, when it might, and Building Regulations.

Like-for-like re-roofing

Replacing a roof with similar materials, without changing its shape or height, usually doesn't need planning permission in England.

When you might need permission

Listed buildings, conservation areas, changing the roof shape or height, or adding dormers can all need consent. Check with your local council's planning department if unsure.

Building Regulations

Replacing a large proportion of a roof can bring Building Regulations into play, including insulation requirements. We can talk you through what applies to your job.
