Building Regulations Compliance Certificate for Roof Replacement

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.
