Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof usually last?
This varies significantly by material and installation quality — some roofing materials are designed to last several decades. A roofing professional would be able to assess your specific roof.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Many like-for-like roof replacements don't need planning permission, but this can depend on the property, any conservation area status, and the extent of the work. It's worth checking with your local authority.
Can I get help with just part of the roof?
Yes — if you're not looking for a full replacement, our roof repair enquiry may be more suitable, but you're welcome to describe exactly what you need in either enquiry.
