Competent Roofer registration
Building Regulations self-certification for qualifying roof work
As an NFRC Competent Person Scheme registered contractor, HAC Roofing can self-certify qualifying roof refurbishment work as compliant with the relevant Building Regulations in England and Wales.
Competent Roofer 11517
A clearer route to Building Regulations compliance
When qualifying roof refurbishment work is completed by an NFRC Competent Person Scheme registered contractor, the contractor can register and self-certify the work through the scheme. This avoids a separate Building Control route for work that falls within the scheme requirements.
After qualifying work has been completed and registered, the scheme issues the property owner with a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate. This provides an official record that the notified work complies with the relevant requirements.

How self-certification works for the property owner
Confirm the proposed scope
HAC Roofing surveys the roof and confirms whether the planned refurbishment appears to fall within the scheme.
Plan compliant work
The specification considers the relevant Building Regulations, including insulation requirements where applicable.
Complete and register
Qualifying completed work is recorded through the NFRC Competent Person Scheme.
Receive the certificate
The scheme issues the Building Regulations Compliance Certificate for the registered work to the property owner.
Important scope limits
Not every roofing project can be self-certified
The scheme does not cover work where less than 50% of the roof is replaced, new-build roofs, changes to the roof structure, structural glazing or structural alterations other than qualifying like-for-like work. Solar and photovoltaic installation also sits outside this roofing self-certification scope.
Some projects require direct Building Control involvement or other professional advice. Planning permission, listed-building consent and conservation-area requirements are separate matters. HAC Roofing will confirm the intended certification route for the proposed roofing work, but property-specific statutory advice may still be required.
Check the current official scheme scopeWhy the certificate matters
- Records qualifying roof refurbishment with the scheme
- Confirms compliance for the work that was notified
- Provides useful property documentation for future records or a sale
- Avoids a separate Building Control application where the scheme applies
