Building Regs

Can anyone tell me if there are any UK Building Regulations concerning soundproofing of a new flat roof?

Check Approved Document E - Resistance to the Passage of Sound 2006 Edition. You can find it here:

No there isn't. The approved Document E refers to all forms of soundproofing, normally between habitable elements, so external elements are not covered.

Hope this helps
