What do we cover in Rochford?
- Pitched roof re-covering with breathable membrane and new battens
- Flat roof renewal in felt, single-ply or liquid systems
- Fascias, soffits and bargeboards in uPVC or painted timber
- Loft ventilation and insulation top-ups during roof works

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.
Which rules apply in Rochford?
Replacement windows, heating systems and some electrical work are controlled under the Building Regulations. In higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with two or more homes), building work needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt.
