Roofing advice
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
When re-roofing needs planning permission or building regulations approval in the UK, including listed buildings and conservation areas.
Like-for-like re-roofing
Replacing a roof with similar materials usually doesn't need planning permission, as long as the height and shape stay the same.
Building regulations
If more than a quarter of the roof is replaced, building regulations normally apply, including insulation standards. We handle this for you.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Many Surrey and Kent villages have conservation areas. Changing materials or the look of the roof may need consent, so check with your local council first.
Velux windows and dormers
Roof windows are often permitted development, but dormers and changes to the roof shape may need permission.
