Solar Panel Installation in Leatherhead
Homes in Leatherhead
Leatherhead is a Surrey town on the River Mole, with a historic centre of older buildings and twentieth-century family housing around it. If your home is among the older buildings in the centre, its roof is part of its character, and that belongs at the heart of the conversation about panels. For a twentieth-century family house, tell us what the roof is covered with and point out any areas that concern you. Whichever kind of home you have, the age of the property, if you know it, is a good place to start. We finished a slate-coloured pitched roof on another job of ours.
What matters for solar panel installation in Leatherhead
Solar panel installation in Leatherhead is discussed as part of your wider plans for the roof rather than in isolation, and we talk through the scope for your particular house. A few details make that conversation easier:
- Describe the panel work you are considering and any other changes you plan for the roof.
- Say whether any part of the house has a flat roof; these are commonly covered with EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or felt.
- If the home is listed or in a conservation area, find out early whether the roof work may need consent.
- Mention any plans for a new roof, as new coverings over more than a quarter of the roof have to meet the insulation standards in the Building Regulations.
Questions about solar panel installation in Leatherhead
Our house is in the older part of Leatherhead. Do you work on period buildings?
Yes. We specialise in period buildings, so tell us roughly how old the house is and anything about the roof that worries you.
We already have a survey. Should we mention it?
Yes. A survey, or any advice you have been given about the roof, gives the conversation about your property a useful starting point.
What if the roof needs work before panels go on?
Describe the problem: where it is, what has changed, anything you have spotted inside or out, and whether it alters in wet weather. We carry out general roof repairs and new roofs, and these can be discussed together with your panel plans.
