When undergoing a loft conversion it is important to keep in mind that you are probably also re-roofing your home at the same time. For this reason it is probably a good idea to contract an accredited roofer who is also a Master Builder that can handle the entire project for you. Although there are loft conversion companies that can handle the interior work, it may be much more expensive and counterproductive to hire two contractors when one can get the job done seamlessly and in much less time.
Approved Contractors
The first thing that you will need to be assured of is that your contractor is approved. This guarantees that the company has met with the following qualifications:
• Independent inspection, on-site of technical skills
• Code of Practice in key areas such as insurance, safety and customer service
• Quality of Work & Trading Practices examined
• Deposit Protection Insurance carried
• Knowledgeable in local building regulations
• Easy to use complaints procedure
• Operating scheme supported by government and building industry standards
Only approved roofers and loft conversion companies will ever be listed for you here at My Redlands Roof. We pride ourselves on almost a century of being in business in the UK and this is the minimum standard we look for in our Select roofers and roofing contractors.
Accreditations to Look for in a Loft Conversion Company
After ascertaining that the loft conversion company is approved, you will want to see that the company is either a member of the Federation of Master Builders or the National Federation of Roofing Contractors. In fact, many of My Redlands Roof’s Select contractors have both accreditations as well as perhaps being certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme for the installation of solar PV cells on roofs. In any case, settle for nothing less than the best in loft conversion companies as the safety of your family and the value of your home depend on the highest quality in materials and labour.
