Roofers in Leicester: Renters vs homeowners

Who’s responsible for roof repairs depends on whether you rent or own your home.

Homeowners: You’re responsible for maintaining and repairing the roof. For major work (like a full replacement or adding skylights), you may also need planning permission or building regs approval. Keep records of warranties and quotes.

Renters: Your landlord or letting agent is usually responsible for structural repairs, including the roof. Report issues like leaks or damp quickly, ideally with photos. They should arrange a roofing contractor in Leicester to carry out the work.
