How do I comply with the building regulations for 25 years?
Building regulations are becoming stricter and stricter with an emphasis on ensuring the building meets regulations for 25 years of its life. This is hard to ensure. You need to design for durability but also make sure that your design and specification is met. Finding the right products for the right job is the key meeting regulations. But it is also important to check for meaningful warranties on products to protect against any comeback on failures in the future. We offer a 25 year warranty on our A+ butyl pink strip sealant, the details of which can be found by clicking on the link on the left.
There are further actions that can be taken to ensure regulations are met. It is known that most remedial works and premature failures are caused by poor fixing and the use of the wrong or substandard materials.
So you need to insist on good workmanship, check for quality standards, check for meaningful warranties, check for trade association memberships and always stick to reputable companies.
There are a lot of "me too" suppliers that are often just importers of copy cat goods. It’s good to have a specialist inspector to vet the proposals before and during the installation process. A few hours spent checking at this stage could prevent an expensive, unexpected and difficult repair later.
Using our products ensures that you get the right product for the job, with ease of installation and on-site support. We also have installation videos available for roofing contractors to ensure that installation is right first time.
