BUILDING CONTROL
Making building control approval simple and stress-free for your warm roof projects...
Building Control can often feel like a daunting part of the process, working with third-party building control who may not fully understand the Thermacore Warm Roof system can lead to frustrating delays, constant back-and-forth queries, and mountains of paperwork.
That’s why we have developed a simple, streamlined process that takes all the hassle away. Every Thermacore Warm Roof has been independently tested and certified by LABC. This includes thorough structural calculations, detailed thermal performance checks, condensation risk analysis, and full verification of the complete system - all carried out by independent experts. As a result, the Thermacore Warm Roof holds full System Approval, giving you complete confidence and making building control approval quick, easy, and stress-free from start to finish!

Certification will be issued once the site inspection has been completed and verified by our partnered building control authority. It will then be sent over to you!
