What do block and HMO roofs in Limavady need?
Leaseholders in Limavady want to see where their money goes. Our itemised quotes show each element of the job separately, including scaffold, insulation and provisional sums for hidden defects, which makes them easier to share and compare when the freeholder or agent is consulting on the work.
In and around Limavady, flat roofs are typically found on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers, and on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. Northern Ireland averages roughly 1,150 mm of rain a year, spread over many wet days, so a roof that sheds water quickly to clear outlets lasts far longer than one that holds puddles.
How much does a block or HMO roof cost in Limavady?
Guide price in Limavady: £13,700–£23,950 for a 150 m² block-of-flats roof in felt with insulation and scaffold, including VAT at Northern Ireland rates. The fixed price comes after a free survey for new and replacement roofs.
| Job | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Block of flats (150 m²), felt + insulation + scaffold | £13,700–£23,950 |
| Commercial roof (100 m²), single-ply + insulation | £11,650–£19,150 |
How do you manage access and residents during the work?
We agree an access and communication plan with the agent or freeholder before the scaffold goes up, so residents know what is happening and when.
That usually covers notices in the common parts and letters to each flat, scaffold and skip positions, keeping entrances, escape routes and bin stores clear, working hours, securing the scaffold out of hours, and a named contact for questions. If we need to look at a ceiling inside a top-floor flat, we arrange access through the agent or landlord.
Occupied blocks are re-roofed in phases, with each section watertight before the team leaves site, which also lets a larger roof be spread over more than one service charge year. Hot works near windows, vents and escape routes are tightly controlled, or avoided altogether with cold-applied systems.
What's included?
- Written workmanship guarantee, with manufacturer guarantees registered where the system allows
- Quotes laid out to support leaseholder consultation
- Resident notices, access planning and phased work
- Long-life systems: mastic asphalt, EPDM, single-ply and built-up felt
Building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets roof insulation at 0.18 W/m²K when a roof over a heated room is renovated or newly built, where that's feasible. The district council's building control should be contacted before work starts, and we prepare the details it asks for. More on the rules.
