Question: Does re-tiling a pitched roof like-for-like require buildings regulations?
Answer(s):
Kris, K.A.Hodgson Roofing Services
No it shouldn't be a problem unless you are changing the pitch to roof.
Fitor, Ashcombe Roofing Services
If you are not changing the pitch off the roof then there is no need for building regulation.
Daniel, D P Roofing Services
No it would not require building regulations.
Abraham, AJC Roofing
If you were to change original structure or pitch to another degree then yes but if it is just a new roof you don't need to.
Stuart, Watertight Roofing Leeds
A complete new roof requires local council to be notified as you are doing more than 25% of your roof. And in addition to this you will be required to install the correct insulation to bring it up to new regulations. A quick email to your local authority will provide you with the information you need then you can check that whoever you decide to with for your new roofs knows what they are talking about. Good luck.
David, DJ Scriven Roofing
Yes you do if you're having a new roof.
If and when you sell up, the new buyers will want to see a certificate proving your roof has been done the right way.
The roofer doesn’t need to sort this, but if I’m honest, they should. Times have changed, and to many people are doing things wrong. It will set you back around £260 but well worth it in my book.
