roofer self cert

Hi I know a member of the "competent builder scheme" can self certify their own roofing work so no need for building regs. But is a member of the
"Guild of master craftsmen" also allowed to self cert their own roofing work ...I can't find anything to say that this is the case....info is readily available for "competent builders" but not for "GMC "members
TIA

what certificate are you looking for?

There are only 2 competent person schemes covering replacement roof coverings...CompetentRoofer and NAPIT.

Only members of those 2 schemes can self certify the replacement of roof coverings.

Thank you, that was the website I had looked at, prior to getting the above info off this roofer, anyone know how much it costs to apply for building regs and what the process involves

Think I will message him and ask him to supply me with a relevant current link that states he can self certify.
If he doesn't reply then I've got my answer !!!55357;!!!56847;

£232 plus VAT. Inspections - if you are replacing like for like tiles - one on the first day to agree what is being done, one on completion to check it has. Quick job. Little point in submitting plans.

If you're changing the tile then you should consult a structural engineer beforehand to check that the existing timber structure is capable.
