Planning and building rules in Craigavon
Each UK nation sets its own consent rules, and Craigavon is in Northern Ireland. What follows is a plain summary; we check the specifics for your property with the council before pricing anything.
In Northern Ireland, re-roofing with similar materials does not usually need planning permission outside listed buildings and conservation areas.
Significant re-roofing should be checked with building control under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
From survey to handover
Free site survey
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about roof repairs.
Your fixed price
Next you receive a written quote with a fixed price for the agreed specification. It lists what is included, what is not, and how payments are staged, so you can compare it properly.
Plan and prepare
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
Finish and handover
During the work we protect the areas around it and tidy up at the end of each day. Once complete, we check the finish, remove our materials and hand over paperwork such as building control sign-off where it applies.

Questions about roof repairs in Craigavon
How much will roof repairs cost in Craigavon?
As a guide, expect to pay £250–£1,300 including VAT for roof repairs in Craigavon. That range is adjusted for Northern Ireland, which runs about 14% below the national guide. Where your project lands depends on size, materials, access and the condition of what is already there. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your home.
Why is my roof leaking?
Roof leaks usually come from slipped or cracked tiles, failed flashing around chimneys and walls, leaking valleys, blocked gutters overflowing, or perished felt beneath the tiles. Water can travel along timbers before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling may not be directly under the fault. Condensation in the loft can also look like a leak. We trace the source before recommending a repair.
How much does a roof repair cost?
A typical roof repair, such as replacing slipped tiles, rebedding a ridge or renewing flashing, costs £250–£1,300. Small repairs reachable by ladder sit at the lower end, while jobs needing scaffolding or several repairs cost more. Matching old tiles or slates and hidden damage to battens can also affect the price. We explain what we find and confirm a fixed price before starting.
Can you do an emergency roof repair?
After storm damage, a temporary repair such as sheeting or refixing loose tiles can stop water getting in until a permanent repair can be made. We aim to attend as quickly as possible, but availability depends on weather and demand, especially after widespread storms. In the meantime, catch drips in containers, move valuables and switch off lights near any wet ceiling.
Can you combine roof repairs with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan roof repairs alongside other work on your Craigavon home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
