LABC
to clamp down on unregistered roof refurbishment work
Last
year, working with CompetentRoofer, Local Authority Building Control (LABC)
contacted roofing companies in five areas of England and reviewed records with a
view to clamping down on unregistered roof refurbishment work.
LABC
will again be looking to clamp down on unregistered roof refurbishment work
within five areas of England and Wales between 1 April and 31 May 2014.
It’s
easy for us to spot the companies that are not registering works and thus easy
for Local Authority Building Control (LABC) to spot them as well. If they find
roofing work that hasn't been reported, they will have the option to
systematically go back through that company's records, if necessary over an
extended back-dated period.
We
really don’t want members to be caught out by this. If you are undertaking work
whereby 50% or more of the roof is being refurbished and that roof is a thermal
element (a separation of hot and cold space), it’s
reportable.
As a
requirement of our licence, we need to have copies of your current public and
liability documents.
For
this reason, we will be contacting those of you for whom our files need
updating.
Each
year, when you renew your public and liability insurance, please send us a copy
of the confirmation letter from your insurer.
We a Members of the scheme and can fully comply with all regulations
