The manufacturing group claimed that pending rules changes affecting heating controls, smart technology and EV charging mean that everyone involved in installation and specification needs to get up to speed quickly.

Danny Melia, who finished the work for free, told the local newspaper he’d been appalled at the condition of the roof when he first arrived.
