Building regulations apply to most building work, therefore it is important to know when approval is needed. Approval is required when:
- you erect or extend a building
- you materially alter a building e.g. carry out structural alterations
- you extend or alter a controlled service within a building e.g. install a WC
- you want to change the building's fundamental use
- Installing replacement windows using a Builder or window company not FENSA registered.
- Replacing thermal elements e.g. roofs and walls
