Before you get in touch
Before you hire a roofer in Jersey
Roof work in Jersey can need planning permission, bye-law permission, a road permit and a wildlife check. A quick guide to which, and when.
When re-roofing needs permission
Replacing a roof covering (opens in a new tab) doesn’t usually need planning permission, unless the property is listed or a pitched roof is changing to a material other than natural slate or clay tile. A flat roof can be re-covered in any material.
Building bye-law permission is needed if more than half of the roof covering is replaced, or if the new covering is heavier than the old one, so the structure can be checked.
Skylights
Skylights always need bye-law permission (opens in a new tab). They don’t usually need planning permission, unless the property is listed, skylights and dormers would cover more than half of the roof slope, or a skylight within 10 metres of a boundary sits lower than 1.7 metres above the floor inside.
Solar panels
Solar panels (opens in a new tab) don’t need bye-law permission, apart from any hot water storage that goes with them. They don’t need planning permission if they cover no more than 90% of the roof slope, stand no more than 20cm proud of a pitched roof, and the property isn’t listed. Jersey Electricity also has to approve the system before it’s installed; our electricians page explains how.
Scaffolding and skips on the road
Scaffolding or a skip on a public road needs a permit under the Road Works and Events (Jersey) Law 2016 (opens in a new tab), from the Government or the parish, depending on who owns the road. In St Helier, only approved scaffolding contractors (opens in a new tab) can get one, and some town roads have summer restrictions. Ask your roofer who is arranging it, and allow time.
Bats and nesting birds
All bats are protected under the Wildlife (Jersey) Law 2021, and so are their roosts, even when the bats aren’t there. The Government of Jersey asks you to contact it for advice first (opens in a new tab) if roof work might affect bats. Nesting birds are protected during the breeding season, and swallow and house martin nests all year round.
Working at height
Roof work falls under the construction regulations (opens in a new tab), which cover work at height and fragile roofs. The Health and Safety Inspectorate’s guidance (opens in a new tab) is to avoid work at height where it reasonably can be. Ask any roofer how they will do the job safely, with scaffolding or edge protection, before you agree a price.
