I am thinking of replacing the felt on my flat roof. The roof is trouble free, has been up for 20 years or more, no leaks or any condensation. I simply want to renew the covering to avoid any problems as these coverings have a limited life. My question is, do I need to obtain building regulations approval and pay their totally unjustifable fees? ( I believe the council has private inspectors). The roof was constructed and complied with building regulations that were in force at the time of construction.
It does have 2 inches of insulation with a vapour barrier underneath it and 2 inches of airgap between the top of the insulation and the deck.
The work will be carried out by a tradesman ( not a registered competent person I hasten to add).
