A building control certificate is a necessity for certifying that your property has been inspected and any building works are carried out following building regulations – and that includes work on your roof.
Depending on the building control body used, this certificate can be referred to differently. You may have heard of it labelled as a completion certificate or final certificate by approved inspectors, but regardless of its title, it provides proof that your building works have been approved.
What is It?
When working with a new roof installation, a building control certificate is evidence that everything is constructed by regulations. These greatly help if you are looking to sell a property, as mortgage lenders will require them to release any mortgage funds. No certificate, no real ability to sell the house.
A building control inspector would undertake an inspection of the roofing build, checking the work at vital stages of construction. Once the inspector has seen that the work complies with the regulations, all fees are paid and relevant certificates have been provided, a completion certificate will be issued.
An inspector will examine areas such as foundations, drainage and all other aspects of the roof work conducted to ensure all elements meet the required standards of regulations. Once satisfied with the completion of the work, the instructor will send a certificate to both the roofing company and the customer.
