Roofing guides

These guides take one subject at a time and explain it properly. Some are practical, such as a seasonal maintenance checklist or the roof checks worth making before you buy. Some deal with rules, such as when re-roofing needs a building control application or when planning permission comes into it. Others look at Swindon itself, including the Railway Village and the types of roof you see across the town.

We write them to help you decide, not to push a job. Where a figure appears it comes from a named national cost guide and carries its date, because prices vary with access, size and what a survey uncovers. Where the law is involved we say what the official guidance states and point you to the council or your building control body for a ruling on your own property.
