Also, are you required to uprate the loft insulation just becuase you
are reroofing, or is it voluntary?

Are building control involved in the roof replacement?
If not then I guess you can upgrade the insulation when you like.
If they are, then they will want to see all elements upto current regs IME.

Apparently, a re-roof of more than 25% of the roof area required
building regs. And, because of that, you're required to increase the
insulation 'where practical'. Which I clearly can, since I've currently
got none.
So, I'm expected to put 280mm (270mm?) of insulation in, otherwise the
works won't get signed off and I won't get a completion certificate.
