This part of BS8000 gives recommendations on basic workmanship on building sites, both commercial and domestic, and covers those tasks which are frequently carried out in relation to the slating and tiling of roofs and walls of newly constructed buildings or buildings being refurbished and re-roofed. It makes recommendations and gives guidance on basic workmanship for conventional types of building work. The recommendations given are not necessarily comprehensive; particular project documents, e.g. project specifications, might be needed to cover recommendations not dealt with by this code of practice.
Some of the recommendations might not apply to historic building conservation or heritage roofing.
The recommendations given in this British Standard apply to the laying and fixing of clay and concrete tiles, natural slates and fibre cement slates and their associated fittings and accessories.
NOTE1 The manufacture of concrete roofing tiles and fittings, fibre cement slates, clay roofing tiles and fittings and natural slates for use in the UK is covered in BSEN490, BSEN492, BSEN1304 and BSEN12326‑1, respectively.
NOTE2 Design aspects of slating and tiling are covered in BS5534.
NOTE3 The installation of timber shingles and shakes are described in NFRC Technical Bulletin 34 [2]. Manufacturers’ instructions will apply to the installation of asphalt shingles and sheet metal or proprietary discontinuously laid roofing products.
