What does this mean to you the home owner?
It is not mandatory that you choose this method and either ‘you’ the home owner, or your chosen installer have the ability to make this decision. This process has been put in place to provide a solution for building regulation approval should you choose this path.
Simple, short stage process that provides peace of mind that every installation is provided with a compliant building control certificate should MFA be engaged to complete the necessary checks and sign of reports.
Make no mistake, when converting a conservatory roof to a solid roof you ‘will’ require control sign off.
So your installation company has stated that your new roof system has been LABC approved? This means it has been tested by LABC however you ‘STILL’ require local building control approval and involvement. MFA certification however, enables complete system sign off, without engaging local building control if you or your installer choose this method.
A great deal of our Leka Systems installers have taken part in an installer course that ensures they are fully conversant with how the system goes together as well as the key component structure requirements to ensure the 40 year warranty is provided. Be sure to ask your installer about their experience.
Not only are installation courses offered (but are not mandatory) but the company selling you the system has access to a range of material and product induction courses to ensure they can provide the most up to date and accurate advice possible to help you understand the system you are purchasing.
If in doubt just ask before your installation is carried out.
