CPD Speaker Meeting (29 May 2025) - Room-in-Roof in RdSAP10

Bookings for this event will close at midnight the day before the event.

Room-in-Roof in RdSAP10?

There are a number of changes in RdSAP that we have covered in several previous CPD sessions. One of the most significant is the treatment of Room-in-Roof.

In response to requests from members, we have added this more in-depth look at the specific requirements for Room-in-Roof and the likely challenges that assessors will face when adapting to the new approach.

The changes to Room-in-Roof in RdSAP10 and how to get it right.
We have been fortunate to be able to arrange this targetted session with Damien Roberts of Elmhurst. Damien has been very involved in the development of the new approaches, and with the new conventions which are due to be published to support them.

Pre-Booking is required.

This high value CPD session will take you through all the significant changes to the treatment of Room-in-Roof, so you can collect all the relevant information on site. It will then look at some of the more challenging scenarios and how to handle them.

The agenda will be:

• Proficiency brief update / industry news
  
  
• Main session - Room-in-Roof - The changes

• The principles behind the changes.
• Dealing with dormers and/or velux type windows in combination with flat ceilings / sloped ceilings / vaulted ceilings. / risers
• Limited access to confirm insulation in some parts
• Continuation walls and mixed (alternative) wall types in the room-in-roof part 
• Storey v/s room-in-roof v/s part storey and part room-in-roof
• How to treat the "party" wall
• When to accept default U-values and when to use override values.
• Dating roof rooms

We will then pick up any specific AOB items tabled for the meeting or carried forward from the previous meeting.

This is followed by an open floor discussion and networking session to close the meeting. Expect this to finish around 5:30 pm but allow some flexibility if you can as there is a lot to gained from the open discussions and networking at the end.

HOW IT WORKS - Please read carefully

You will be sent joining instructions and/or the relevant link ahead of the meeting. This is typically sent out the evening before the event. For online events we generally use Zoom and highly recommend you attend on a large screen device.

The evening before the event you will receive a link to register for the event. You can do this any time from then until just before the meeting starts. Once you have registered you will receive the actual meeting link. Please ensure you register using your correct full name. This ensures you will get the right name on your CPD certificate (if applicable),

(If by the morning of the event you do not appear to have received the link, please check your junk / spam folder before contacting us. It will probably be there. If it is not then do contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (but don't leave it to the last minute. Once we have started to set up for the session we will not be able to take calls or respond to emails).

Please also ensure you have tested your set up and both your audio and video are working. If we cannot see you are present we may not be able to issue you with a CPD certificate. If you know in advance that you will not have video capability, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will agree an alternative way in which the organisers can verify you were actually present (and hopefully paying attention) for the entire session.

If you need to briefly deal with something like an urgent phone call during the session, please turn your video off whilst you do so to avoid a distraction to other attendees. Video off for short periods of absence will not affect eligibility for CPD certificates. Prolonged periods of absence or where video is off so you could be absent, will prevent us being able to issue a CPD certificate. This verification of your presence is essential for us to ensure that the value of Proficiency CPD certificates is maintained so they can be accepted by accreditation schemes. 

(There are no refunds where CPD certificates cannot be issued due to only partial attendance at an event, or where we are unable to sufficiently verify your presence).
