Frequently asked questions
+Does surplus ridge tiles count for PAS 2035?
Yes when spec and certification are preserved. Keep batch numbers and BBA certificates with your evidence pack.
+Can I use dry-fix on reclaimed ridges?
Yes if the ridge is in good condition and the profile matches system tolerances.
+Can I use surplus on ECO4-funded work?
Yes — ECO4 assessors care about spec and installation quality, not new-vs-surplus provenance.
