GENERAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK

Roof replacement:
connect the next steps.

Put the scope, sequence, purchases and money in one plan. Keep assumptions separate from confirmed requirements.

1

Inspect before you price

Ask the roofer to confirm the condition of the deck, flashing, ventilation and any rot before agreeing a fixed price. Record allowances for replacing damaged sheathing separately from the main quote.

2

Check whether a permit applies

Re-roofing rules differ: some places require a permit for any re-roof, others only for structural changes or a change of material. Confirm with the authority, especially for heritage properties and conservation areas.

3

Plan around weather and access

Roof work depends on dry weather and safe access. Keep a buffer in the plan, agree where materials and waste bins will go, and record who is responsible for protecting gardens and gutters.

4

Keep warranty records

Record manufacturer and workmanship warranties, product names and installation dates at handover. They matter for insurance and resale.

Plan first. Confirm before work.
