Solar Panel Installation in Dorking
Homes in Dorking
A useful first question is where your home sits. If it falls within the part of the centre covered by the conservation area, or it is a listed building, consent may be needed for roof work, and finding that out comes before any detailed planning. Away from the centre, the houses range from Victorian to more recent, so tell us roughly when yours was built and what is on its roof now. If any section of the roof is flat, let us know whether it is EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or felt, as those are the coverings you are most likely to find.
What matters for solar panel installation in Dorking
Our approach is to look at the panels and the roof beneath them together. If the roof is due for replacement, raise it at the same stage, as we also take enquiries for new-roof projects. Replacing more than a quarter of the covering means the new roof must meet the Building Regulations for insulation.
- Check whether your home is listed or within Dorking's conservation area.
- Tell us the age and style of the house and what you have planned for the roof.
- If a re-roof is likely, we discuss it together with the panels.
- We talk through the scope for your property.
Questions about solar panel installation in Dorking
My house is in Dorking's conservation area. Can I still ask about panels?
Yes, get in touch and tell us where the house is. Roof work in a conservation area may need consent, so that has to be checked as part of the planning, and we can discuss the scope with you alongside it.
We are replacing our roof anyway. Does that change anything?
It is a sensible time to talk about solar panel installation in Dorking homes like yours, as we discuss panels alongside roof plans and take enquiries for new-roof projects. Note that a replacement covering more than a quarter of the roof must meet the Building Regulations for insulation.
