Planning on replacing your roof soon? Replacing a roof can be a daunting or exciting prospect, depending on how you look at it.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s four things to consider when planning a replacement roof, to help you on your way:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Planning permission<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are planning on replacing the roof on your home, we strongly recommend you contact your local planning authority for advice on planning permission. You may need planning permission to re-roof your home, if the proposed roof does not meet the limits and conditions in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class C of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Also, if you live in a listed building, then you may require Listed Building Consent.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cost cutting<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be quick with this one – do not under any circumstances cut costs when replacing your roof. If you cut costs, you are going to cut corners, and that is no good for weather protection. Hire a roofer who you can trust to do a good job, and don\u2019t skimp on materials.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Making roof improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are replacing your old roof in its entirety, now is a good time to consider new materials and membranes to improve its performance. Sure, you could simply replace your old roof with identical materials, but you could be missing out by doing so. Modern materials offer the opportunity to improve thermal performance. You could also improve roof ventilation. An experienced roofing contractor will be able to offer advice and guidance on modernising and improving your roof.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Roofing estimates & guarantees<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should seek roofing estimates from at least three different contractors, and you should request a detailed break-down of proposed work and costs. This way, you can review potential contractors from a more informed position. You should also ask for testimonials or examples of work, so you can assess the contractor\u2019s quality and reputation. Most roofers have a website with testimonials. You should also look out for workmanship guarantees. We, for example, offer full guarantees up to 25-years on roofing work.<\/p>\n
