It can cause movement and possibly weaken the structure. Weak or moving buildings can be unstable and threaten the safety of the people in them. This is one of the reasons why there are laws in place to limit what you can and can\u2019t do to your pitched roof.<\/p>\n<p>Building Regulations make up some of these laws. Read on to find out more about Building Regulations and how they apply to your pitched roof.<\/p>\n<h3>What are Building Regulations?<\/h3>\n<p>Building Regulations are a number of design and construction standards that most buildings have to meet. They\u2019re in place to safeguard the health and safety of everyone in and around these buildings. They are also designed to ensure that buildings have disabled access and are relatively energy efficient.<\/p>\n<h3>Do Building Regulations apply to pitched roofing?<\/h3>\n<p>Building Regulations do apply to pitched roofing. You don\u2019t need building regulations approval if you want to repair or re-cover less than 25% of your roof &#8211; you can just go straight ahead and do it.<\/p>\n<p>You do need building regulations approval if you want to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Repair or re-cover more than 25% of your roof<\/li>\n<li>Re-cover your roof with different material that\u2019s significantly heavier or more or less fire retardant than the original material<\/li>\n<li>Carry out structural alterations<\/li>\n<li>Install one or multiple roof lights (a window installed within the roof)<\/li>\n<li>Build a completely new roof<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Roofing200-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-69 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/200;\" \/>If you want to do work that needs building regulations approval they you&#8217;ll need to apply for it. When you apply for building regulations approval for an existing roof, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll be told you need to improve your roof\u2019s thermal insulation. You may also need to structurally reinforce both the roof and the building it sits on.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to build a new roof, Building Regulations say that it must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be weather and fire resistant<\/li>\n<li>Be able to support loads \u2013 like snow, roofing materials and people working on it<\/li>\n<li>Be relatively energy efficient<\/li>\n<li>Have adequate ventilation and drainage<\/li>\n<li>Have precautions in place to stop it lifting high winds or the rafters spreading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if your new roof will have all these things, you\u2019ll still need to get building regulations approval before starting work on it.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I get building regulations approval?<\/h3>\n<p>There are two ways to get building regulations approval.<\/p>\n<h5>1. Hire a \u2018competent person\u2019<\/h5>\n<p>If you hire a tradesperson on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.competentperson.co.uk\/\">Competent Persons Register<\/a>, they will make sure that the work they do meets Building Regulations. They will self-certify their work and make an application to your local authority if needed. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/154225800-600-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-418 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>2. Apply through a building control body<\/h5>\n<p>An alternative way to get building regulations approval is to use a building control body (BCB). These are either run by your local authority or privately. A building control body will check Building Regulations for you and make a building regulations approval application if needed.<\/p>\n<p>To get more information and apply for building regulations approval, visit your local authority&#8217;s website. If you&#8217;re not sure who your local authority is, you can use the government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/find-local-council\">handy online tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So now you should have a better understanding of Building Regulations and how they apply to your pitched roof.
