SilverShadow Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Hey again - hopefully just a basic quick question, for all you guys in the know ๐ ย The house we're hoping to buy has a detached outbuilding at the bottom of the garden, measuring 6 x 3m, with 2.5 sloping metal roof. It's >1m from property boundaries & generally non combustible (singke skin breezeblock walls, concrete floor, metal roof, upvc door & windows). It's a workshop, with electrical power & own consumer board, plus small log burner/ metal chimney ย I was looking to convert into an office (non sleeping accom) myself, by just adding PIR boards and adjusting electrical sockets over this. ย Would this incur building regs, and if so is there a portal / consultation service I can use for clarification & sign off?

SilverShadow Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 Addition to the above: ย Afaik, no PP or building regs apply here (looking at govt website). But I just wanted your thoughts/opinions, or advice on how I can check this with the necessary governing bodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Itโs a garden shed, as long as itโs not habitable then no regs or approvals apart from dimensions (floor area and eaves height) so you can just get on with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) The size of it is exempt so you can pretty much do what you want with it. Edited May 17 by DevilDamo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShadow Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 (edited) Excellent work as always, guys - many thanks ๐ ย Closer the time I'll probably pop back for advice on converting it. There seems to be several different ways ways folks do PIR insulation (batons, dot n dab, moisture proofing, etc), so be glad to get plenty of advice before I start ๐ ย Thanks again Shadow Edited May 17 by SilverShadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
