Anne-Marie Busch , Commercial Manager , comments : “ It has been important for us to work with smaller , personable organisations , to ensure our customers experience a service that matches our own . MFA have set up a dedicated solid roof section of their approval work , ensuring that they have a clear understanding of the requirements and / or restrictions that come with working on these types of projects .”
A great number of customers have opted to use our recommended supplier . Either way it is clear that as single storey extension work increases , and replacement solid roof remain popular , the question of building control certificates will be ever present . If you need advice on whether or not certification is required for your project , MFA will advise our customers . If you are wondering whether it is worth going through , then we would say that , from the homeowner ’ s perspective , there is a legal obligation to ensure the building work they commission is safe and meets building legislation . We all want a good night sleep … To be clear , there have been no fall outs with our previous partner , this is just a question of business priorities , on both sides .
