If you are in any doubt you should contact your local planning authority before undertaking any work.
This document provides you with a practical level of guidance to enable you to better understand how
Building Regulations might impact on a building project you are doing or considering.
This is not a definitive interpretation of the Building Regulations. Always check with your local building control
body if in doubt.
Unless you have a reasonable working knowledge of building construction it would be advisable before any
work is started to obtain appropriate professional advice which is relevant to the building work you want to
carry out (eg from a building guidebook, specification guide, architect, a structural engineer, a building
surveyor, a heating engineer or replacement window specialist) and to choose a registered builder, or a
registered installer, to carry out the work.
At the time of preparation, and to the best of our knowledge, information contained in this document relating
to building regulations is correct. However, building regulations are always subject to change and ABM
Building Services Ltd cannot be held responsible for any information provided in this document which is
incorrect. You should always check with your local building control body if in doubt.
