Building Control Won’t Pass It: £76K Extension Roof Shock | The Rescue Job #1

£76,000 spent on an extension… 7 years ago… and Building Control still won’t sign it off. Welcome to THE RESCUE JOB (Part 1) — where Geoff The Roofing Outlaw starts unearthing what’s actually going on with this roof. Here’s the kicker: the roof timbers are sitting on the floor — not even on a proper wall plate. That means the load path is wrong and the weight of the roof is being carried by the ceiling below. In plain English? At any point, this roof could have collapsed. In this episode, we: Lift the bonnet and show you the real structural red flags Explain why Building Control can’t pass the work Break down what should have been done vs what’s been bodged Start mapping out how this rescue is going to be put right (properly, safely, and by the book) If you’ve had work done and you’ve got that gut feeling something isn’t right — watch this series. You’ll learn what to look for before it becomes a disaster. ---------------------------- FULL PRODUCT CATALOGUE (ALL PRODUCTS) https://theroofingoutlaw.co.uk/products/ SHOP BY CATEGORY (COVERS THE ENTIRE SITE RANGE) Outlaw Products (Brand Page): https://theroofingoutlaw.co.uk/brand/...
