Which rules apply in the East of England?
Social landlords are commercial clients under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, so the full client duties apply. Where there is more than one contractor, the client appoints a principal designer and a principal contractor. A project must be notified to HSE if it lasts more than 30 working days with more than 20 workers on site at once, or exceeds 500 person-days.
What does it cost in the East of England?
Our guide range for re-covering a pitched roof on a 2–3 bed house in the East of England is £7,300–£18,700 per house. That is the UK range of £7,000–£18,000 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 1.04 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Loft ventilation and insulation are checked during roof work, because a new covering over a poorly ventilated loft can cause condensation problems of its own.

Can you deal with asbestos cement roof sheets or soffits?
We check your asbestos information first. Licensed or notifiable work is planned with a licensed contractor where the regulations require it.
Do you renew fascias and gutters at the same time?
We recommend it where they are near the end of their life. It shares the scaffold cost and closes off a common cause of damp.
