Built with Authority and Compliance in Mind
Under UK Building Regulations, most roof replacements, especially those involving structural changes or altering insulation or ventilation, require approval from a building control body from the local council, but don't worry, we handle this all for you. We work with building control and Exeter City Council to ensure full compliance.
Re-roofing that replaces more than 25% of the total building envelope (or more than 50% of the roof) typically triggers the need for building regulation approval, especially if materials or structural elements change.
