A gully drain required for a bin store? Requested by Building Control - also question re EV car charger

[Caroline]

UPDATE

 

COMPLETION CERT SUPPLIED BY BC, NO EV CHARGER REQUESTED.  DITTO GULLY FOR BINS.

 

WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE WARRANTY PROVIDER'S BC SAY (ALTHOUGH THEY WOULDN'T CARRY OUT THEIR FINAL INSPECTION UNTIL NORMAL BC HAD PROVIDED COMPLETION CERT).

 

WARRANTY PROVIDER AT THIS LATE STAGE IS ASKING FOR A DRAIN TEST 😔

Well that's a result and goes to show how inconsistent regulation can be. We supplied a statement by the plumber that he had tested the drains upon completing the works to building control and that was accepted. Could you try the same with your warranty provider. Plugging the top end of an installed svp when all the scaffolding has gone is a real pain.

Thank you.  We can do the test but I just wonder why they ask this type of thing at this late stage when they have visited many times before.  Well we are nearly there, glad we have BC completion cert, just the warranty to deal with.
