Roof replacement in Godalming: getting it right
- 01
Listed homes and conservation areas
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, a new roof may need to use the same type of tile or slate as before. Changing the material or the look can need consent. Check with the council early, and we'll quote using materials that meet the rules.

Thinking about a loft conversion
If you might convert the loft one day, a re-roof is a good time to plan for it. Roof windows, insulation and the position of a future dormer can all be considered now, so the new roof doesn't need cutting into again in a few years.

Questions to ask any roofer
Ask what's included in the price, how the roof will be kept dry during the work, what happens if rotten timbers are found, and how waste will be removed. A good roofer will answer clearly before you sign anything, so there are no surprises later.
Booking roof replacement in Godalming
We cover Godalming from our base in Billingshurst. The first step is a visit to look at the roof, the loft and the timbers, and to talk about the covering you'd like. Your free quote follows, along with an idea of how long the job will take.
During the work, the roof is stripped and re-covered a section at a time and kept weathertight overnight. At the end, we remove the scaffolding and waste, and make sure you have any paperwork that building control or the council needs.
Worth deciding early
- Tile or slate, new or reclaimed
- A colour to suit the street
- Dry ridge and dry verge
- Any roof windows you'd like
- Extra loft insulation

Roof replacement in Godalming: common questions
Do I need permission for a new roof in Godalming?
Replacing a roof like for like usually doesn't need planning permission. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, or you're changing the material or shape, you may need consent. Building regulations usually apply when most of the roof is re-covered, and we'll explain that part.
Can you use reclaimed tiles on a re-roof in Godalming?
Yes. Reclaimed clay tiles or slates can help a new roof match its neighbours and keep the character of an older home. We check that reclaimed tiles are sound before using them, and sometimes mix them with good tiles saved from your own roof.
What happens if you find rotten timbers in Godalming?
We stop, show you the damage and explain the repair before doing anything more. Rotten rafters or battens are replaced or strengthened so the new roof sits on a sound structure. You get a price for that work first, and nothing is added without your agreement.
How long does a new roof last in Godalming?
It depends on the covering. A well-fitted clay or concrete tile roof can last for decades, and natural slate even longer. The membrane, battens and fixings matter too, which is why we replace them all as part of a full re-roof.
