I received the following email today from Nick Mills, who has raised a valid question about solid roof conservatories he would like some feedback on:
I’m keen to find out yours and your ‘Renegade’ readers views on how building regulations determine whether a conservatory roof is exempt or not.
I mostly want to know why the following scenarios don’t require approval, when traditional tiled roofs by virtue of them being solid do.
• A conservatory roof with heatguard poly (still by appearance a solid roof) doesn’t require approval.
• A Vertex tile effect roof (still by appearance a solid roof) doesn’t require approval
Also
Why is the Vertex tile effect roof (from Modplan) exempt when a galvanised steel tile roof of similar appearance such as the Guardian or Sundyal roof isn’t?
Many thanks
Nick Mills
