The result is a more comfortable living environment that costs less to heat or cool because it is insulated from the ambient temperatures outside , making it warmer in winter and cooler in summer .

The system also has a 5-35o pitch variable ring beam assembly that increases the types of roofs that can be replaced while adjustable angles on the hip , valley and ridge add up to easier fitting , and ensure that tiles and ridges sit correctly for finishing . All rafters sit flush with the hip and rafter too , providing greater strength . Thermal breaks avoid moisture build

up , and air gaps within the roof allow any moisture to dissipate quickly – so there is no danger of internal condensation , unlike some tiled roof systems .

The TCC , which represents the interests of businesses that rely on being able to call the public , is set to ask professional trade bodies if they think a ‘ consent only ’ based law on telephone calling will cause loss of income and jobs .

Spokesperson for the TCC , Nick Rines , says it is believed a broad swathe of consumer service businesses would be hit hard by permission based regulation . It would stop most companies from being able to make telephone contact with the public , including home improvement companies being able to call existing

customers and new sales prospects .

Under the current draft of the EU e-Privacy Bill , the only criteria under which companies may call members of the public is through consent , including preventing contacting customers about product and contract expiry dates , upgrades , cross selling and service based reminders . The impact on commerce and employment are thought to be currently disregarded .

Within the draft of the EU e-Privacy Act is a clause that allows governments to choose opt out outbound calling regulation , which the TCC is pushing for . However

, there is concern that opt in only regulation will come before government ministers under the Digital Economy Act .

Nick Rines said : “ It is important that we understand the full implications of opt in consent regulation , and what the fall-out will be , including the freedom to make calls about upgrades , cross selling , and new prospect calling . There is a lot of concern , particularly among marketing professionals and consumer facing businesses that having to build and maintain a consent database is unfeasible . It would mean that overnight the successful business models of tens

of thousands of companies would become untenable .

“ This attempt to stop nuisance calls will not solve current problems . The TCC fully supports robust regulation that protects the public from rogue or nuisance callers , but it believes implementing opt in consent rules , which in effect would be a ban on currently legally compliant outbound calling , would leave the field wide open to those pirate callers that would merely expand their activity as they continue to flaunt current or future legislation . The TCC supports the ICO in firmer prosecution of those that transgress the current laws .”
