When replacing a roof, it is essential to meet building regulations, ensuring safety and energy efficiency. In England, homeowners must obtain a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate either by working with a roofing contractor who is part of a government-approved competent persons scheme or by notifying the local authority’s Building Control department.

How to get a building regulation certificate

  1. Hire a Registered Contractor – ensure your roofers are part of a Competent Person Scheme (CPS), like the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC). West Country Tiling are NFRC registered, therefore we can self-certify our roofing work.
  2. Notify Building Control – if not using a CPS-registered contractor, notify your local Building Control office before starting the project. An inspector will assess the work to confirm it meets regulations.

This certificate is crucial for future property sales and maintaining building standards. West Country Tiling, with years of experience in heritage roofing, ensures all projects meet the necessary building regulations while delivering high-quality craftsmanship.
