About

Roof plumbing encompasses a variety of tasks such as the installation, repair, renovation, alteration, and maintenance of guttering, downpipes, roof flashings, and metal roof coverings on any type of building or structure. It specifically pertains to work involving metal components and excludes tasks related to non-metallic tiles, slates, glass (which falls under the purview of glaziers), concrete, wood products, thatching, and malthoid or bituminous materials. Additionally, roof plumbing work can include the installation of skylights, ventilators, and the application of protective coatings to the roof, provided these tasks do not require structural modifications to the roof or its components.

Why do I need the licence ?

You need a Roof Plumbing License to legally undertake any work involving the installation, repair, and maintenance of metal roofing systems, including guttering, downpipes, roof flashings, and the installation of skylights and ventilators. This license ensures you comply with national standards and regulations, showcasing your expertise and reliability to clients. It also protects you from potential legal issues and fines associated with unlicensed work. Additionally, holding this license can enhance your professional credibility, allowing you to bid on larger projects and increase your earning potential within the roofing and construction industry.
