Armour Shield Roofing Services Coalville provides Velux and skylight installation across Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Free, no-obligation quotes, £5 million public liability insurance, and a 15-year written workmanship guarantee.
A roof window in thin slate inside the conservation area is not the same job as one in a concrete-tiled semi, and Ashby has both. Round the castle and on South Street, a flush-fitting conservation-style window with a low-profile flashing suits the shallow slate and keeps the planners onside; we check whether consent is needed before anything is ordered. Out at Holywell Spring Farm and towards Willesley, a standard Velux into interlocking tiles is a one-day fit. Either way the opening is trimmed between the rafters, the flashing kit matched to the covering and the reveal finished inside, so the window stays watertight for decades.
Velux and roof-window installation starts from around £695; a standard supply-and-fit commonly runs £695–£1,800 depending on size, access and finishing. Free fixed quote. Full price ranges →
Yes. Armour Shield Roofing Services Coalville provides Velux and skylight installation throughout Ashby-de-la-Zouch (LE65) and the surrounding area, including Market Street, Money Hill, Packington. Quotes are free and no-obligation, and the work is covered by £5 million public liability insurance and a 15-year written workmanship guarantee.
For a house that is not listed, repairs and re-roofing in matching materials do not normally need planning permission, even inside the conservation area. The picture changes if the house is listed (listed building consent is then needed for work that alters its character, which can include changing the roof covering) or if you want a dormer or roof extension, which is not permitted development in a conservation area. Flats and commercial premises have fewer permitted development rights. If in doubt, ask North West Leicestershire District Council before work starts; we flag anything we think needs checking at the quote.
The castle ruins are a scheduled monument looked after by English Heritage, and scheduled monument consent applies to work on the monument itself, not to the houses around it. What does apply to nearby homes is the conservation area and, for many of them, listing. When planning permission is needed, the council also weighs the effect on the setting of the castle and St Helen’s Church, so materials and rooflines that suit the street carry real weight here.
