Hi all,
Just finished renovating a house where I converted and old coal shed and outside toilet (cold space), into a utility and separate toilet, knocked through from kitchen.
I got my friend to do the electrics which he is fully qualified to do, and provided a minor works certificate.
Guy from building control came today to sign off that and other works, was happy with everything, but has said I need to fit 2 extractor fans in utility and toilet to provide ventilation. When I asked for what he said because of the hot water!? ?♂️
The toilet is small and has a large window, and the utility is small but twice the size, with washing machine/ dryer, and has a door and very small window. Plus door into kitchen.
I'm just wondering if there is anyway around this as I am reluctant to start making a mess of the new internal and external plaster/render, and would prefer to not mess with the new roof either.
If I am to go back to him I need a regulations loop hole or something.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
