Installing New Roofs or Extensions

When you're planning a new roof installation, particularly as part of an extension, it's crucial to understand the regulations. Your new roof must fully comply with all Building Regulations. This means you need to ensure it can withstand the weather, adheres to fire safety standards, is structurally sound, offers proper insulation, has adequate ventilation, and incorporates effective drainage. Before you begin any construction, you'll also need to submit comprehensive plans to your local Building Control office. These plans must clearly detail the materials you intend to use, their precise dimensions, and the expected performance characteristics of the roof.
