COMPETENTROOFER
PROTECTS HOMEOWNERS
Research shows that
people are taking a long-
term view of their property
and making sure that their
homes will be suitable for
years to come. A smart new
flat roof can add value as
well as improving insulation
making homes warmer and
more comfortable to live in.
However, homeowners must
also be aware of the nec-
essary requirements when
it comes to roof refurbish-
ment, including the approv-
al process and the effect
that unauthorised building
works may have on the
sale of the properties. It’s
important they understand
the potential dangers posed
by not having the relevant
certificates.
Roof Assured by Sarnafil
is committed to making sure
homeowners are properly
protected and advised on
their roofing installation.
The company has been
working with the NFRC
(National Federation of
Roofing Contractors), who
manage the CompetentRoof-

develop an initiative where-

who meet all the necessary
registration criteria, will be
CompetentRoofer accred-
ited.
This means that those
qualifying installers will be
identified as a Roof Assured
CompetentRoofer and able
to self certify that their roof
refurbishment work com-
plies with Part L Building
Regulations. Additional
benefits include a ten-year
insuran
