  1. Thanks all, many interesting perspectives. One thing I didn't mention before is that the room already has a sink in it, hand was basin type. So if we put say a microwave and a small fridge in the room can we account for the sink under the "as existing" heading and disregard it, therefore avoiding the requirement for building regs approval etc? Think I'll try the building control office again (failed to get anything useful from them before), if I have any luck I'll let you know the outcome.
  2. Hi, I'm new here and have a building regs question. My Dad needs a full time helper in the house so we are setting up the spare room for this person. They will not be renting the room, just "living in". We would like to give them some possibility of cooking in their room, so that during their private time they don't need to use the main kitchen, but I'm worried about coming up against building regs ie fire doors, electric certificates etc. and incurring major costs. So my question is: How much can we add to the room like fridge, microwave, cooker, kitchen sink etc. before the bedroom becomes a kitchen according to the law? In other words what is the definition of a kitchen? Cheers Justin
