However, suppose your property is in a conservation area or a listed building, or you’re making significant changes to the roof’s structure or appearance. In that case, we recommend you contact your local planning authority. We can also advise on any planning restrictions that may apply.

Whether you can claim for roof repairs depends on your specific insurance policy and the cause of the damage. Complete coverage is rare, but you may be able to claim a portion of the costs for damage caused by an unexpected event, such as a storm. Check your policy to see what you’re covered for.

Most new roofing systems are designed to last for at least 20 years. However, high-quality materials like slate and certain tiles can last for much longer, up to 50 years or more. A roof’s lifespan is also dependent on the quality of installation, maintenance and local climate.
