New Roofs In Northstowe

Northstowe itself is brand new, built on the former RAF Oakington site, so almost nobody there needs a whole new roof yet. The villages around it are different. Longstanton, Oakington, Swavesey and Willingham have post-war houses and older cottages whose roofs are reaching the point where repairs no longer keep up.

Local Knowledge

Who needs a new roof near Northstowe

Our re-roofing work in this part of CB24 is mostly on post-war houses and bungalows in the surrounding villages. Their concrete tiles have weathered, and the bitumen felt underneath is often torn or brittle, so wind drives rain into the loft. Older homes in Longstanton and Oakington with clay tile or slate roofs come up too. In each case we strip the roof, check and repair the rafters, lay breathable underlay and new battens, and fit a covering that matches the house and its neighbours.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01223 398097 or book online.

Permissions and planning near Northstowe

Replacing a roof like for like rarely needs planning permission. Changing the material, adding roof windows or building a dormer can, and on newer estates permitted development rights are often removed, so we check before quoting. On every re-roof we fit secure dry-fix ridges and verges. New roofs come with our 10-year guarantee.

Do I need planning permission for roof work?

Most like-for-like roof repairs and re-roofs in England do not need planning permission. Changing how the roof looks, adding dormers or living in a conservation area can change that.
