Hi,
I've had a letter through from building control stating that a neighbour has informed them I'm having work done without prior notice.
I had the roof re-felted and the old tiles were re-used. I'm not a tradesman and the roofer didn't mention anything about building control notice but assuming I should have got notice, what should I do? Do building control have the authority to come in and check the work or can I just claim some minor repairs were done? Even if they got access and I claimed it was done a few years before I bought the house, I don't think they've got any way of proving otherwise, even though the felt it clearly in good condition.
Some people must be so bored in life to report these things, presumably they were annoyed because the scaffolding was up for a few months...
