Frequently asked questions

If you have a question not covered here, contact us directly and we will be happy to help.

Ask a question

A roof inspection will identify whether the defects are localised and repairable or whether the roof covering has reached the end of its serviceable life and requires replacement. LateShield can carry out an independent inspection and provide a clear assessment.

Yes. LateShield can carry out an independent inspection of the completed works, prepare a defect report and help you understand your options for remediation. See also the poor workmanship reports and builder dispute support pages.

Like-for-like repairs to an existing roof generally do not require Building Regulations approval. However, replacement of more than 25% of a roof covering may trigger insulation upgrade requirements under the Building Regulations. LateShield can advise on the regulatory position for your specific project.

A flat roof membrane is the waterproof layer that covers a flat or low-pitched roof. Common materials include felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes. LateShield can advise on the most appropriate repair or replacement material for your roof.
