Ask your QuestionMy neighbour is replacing his roof, as we are terraced property they have split the houses in half. I have mentioned a buttering gutter to protect against weather, covering the join area, can anyone advise if any building regulations are in place covering the installation of buttering gutter, as they will start retiling next week
Asked by Raymond on 4th Mar 2022"Hi
If they are changing the whole more than likely they would fall under new building regulations which would involve engaging in with building control
At the very least they should make sure whatever they are doing to the abutment with your property that you are happy with the solution

"No, it’s not needed every time we have done a roof we have not had to use but always worth them to check over the work to make sure it’s being done properly"

If the same tiles are going on then simply retile over & this will again weather your roof"
"I would find out more about building regulations as if it’s a roof on the joining part make sure I’ve felt and eve trays are there"
