What do we cover in Worcester?
- Flat roof renewal in felt, single-ply or liquid systems
- Chimney repairs, flashings, leadwork and valleys
- Gutters, downpipes and gullies cleared, repaired or renewed
- Loft ventilation and insulation top-ups during roof works
- Scaffold, protection and resident notices
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 Worcester?
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.
