Competent Roofer

LABC – Pilot Scheme Starting Soon
Working with Competent Roofer, LABC will be clamping down on roof refurbishment work that is being undertaken without notification to Building Control. They will be contacting roofing companies either based or operating in areas they have selected to target within England and Wales.

 

If they find roofing work that hasn’t been reported, they will systematically look through records of that company’s jobs, if necessary over an extended back-dated period. This means as a member of Competent Roofer you must  be logging and completing your work; you will not be immune to this spot check.

 

 

I find this quite interesting being a member of Competent roofer we always inform customers they have notify building control if a roof is to be replaced, and that if insufficient insulation is present it should be upgraded.

I have found we are loosing a lot of work as most roofing companies in this area are completely ignoring this.

It is not only the roofers also local building control are unsure.

 

I recently quoted a flat roof in Bagshot told the customer he should have the insulation upgraded he decided to check with local building control to be told  if it is like for like then he does not have to insulate or inform the council, he therefore thought I was trying to get extra works and I lost the job only for someone to replace the roof without insulation

 

So who is right ? and are Building Control aware of Competent Roofer Scheme Surrey Heath obviously is not.
