Hello all,
couple of quick questions regarding building control notice. I have just had to look at a roof that has been given a building control notice of completion etc but am wondering how or why?
If roof tiles (in this case plain tiles) are cut smaller than the size laid out in the British Standard does this not mean they are not installed correctly? Is there no building control clause that covers tile and slate cuts? Is an incorrectly installed cut course of tiles OK as far as building regs are concerned?
Second question...the roof is actually incomplete! there is a whole dormer cheek that has neither been tiled or covered in any kind of waterproofing. It is an OSB board with metal lath ontop (obviously there was an intention at some stage to render it) which is just well very swollen and now mouldy - guess what? The roof leaks - all over the place!
I could go on i.e. no cloaking or cement work on any verge. Tiling battens left exposed in to valleys and rotting tiles place on a roof well below manufacturers minimum pitch etc etc etc.
This is probably the worst roof I have ever seen (and I have seen a few peaches )and yet it passed building control or at least has been given a building control completion sign off.
Cheers
