VAT on insulated roofs

[SouthHams]

Hi

I have a VAT question. I am currently negotiating a contract for an insulated flat roof. The area covered will be 150 sq meters of a flat roof on a bungalow.

The roof was constructed in 1987 and has an uneven 2 inches of fibreglass insulation over the area, which is well below the current standards and as it is the lounge and kitchen area will be costing me a bomb to heat.

I wish to cap the roof with Kingspan 120mm insulation covered by a Sarnafil coating. The basic roof will remain in situ and the insulation and covering is to be laid over the top.

As the roof is flat there is no way of getting insulation under the existing roof without removing the ceilings.

Does anyone know what, if any, of the new roof would be 5% rated?

Thanks

John

I believe it's all 5% rated.

Sometimes HMRC ask you to invoice seperately for the work affecting the installation of the insulation, so any other work like felting, flashing etc can be seperately invoiced at 20%
