Building notice renovation

Recommended Posts

How do you know which works are notifiable with regards to building regs and keeping everything above board? Looking at a renovation where some works seem obvious to need sign off, others less so. 

Ie

lifting timber suspended floors, insulating below 

knocking out solid, but non load bearing walls. 

Opening up load bearing walls with new lintels. 

Rewire

etc

I am thinking at the start of the project you just submit a building notice then just show them everything you're doing presumably can't go wrong then? Be keen to hear what others have done. @Onoff @Ferdinand

Is there no national outline of what is notifiable work and what isn't?

 

Yes - the Building Regs....

 

If it’s structural, creates new openings for windows or doors, changes sanitary pipework, makes major wiring changes, adds a floor or converts a loft, improves or  changes insulation levels in walls, or adds a new heating appliance then it’s most likely notifiable. 

 

I’ve got a link somewhere but I can’t find it on the phone ..!
