November 9, 20205 yr Hi everyone. I’m looking for some advice please. we’re looking to convert our single garage into a living space. The work would involve: - replace current garage door with bricks and window - cut out a section of the wall between the garage and hallway for an access door - install a false wall at the back of the garage where the boiler would be kept (stay in cirrrnet position) - install one new radiator in the new living space - install multiple electric sockets in the new living space - raise the floor a couple of inches to make it level with the rest of house. -frame out the room and put in installation and plasterboard walls The boiler and electric fuse box is already housed in the garage. the design/drawings should be straightforward enough however I do not know what exactly I would need to meet the criteria of for building regs to pass the building warrant. would anyone be able to please help me with this? Many thanks Alan
