Building regs for ensuite?

perc

Hello I am getting a very small en-suite and walk in wardbrobe built in the master bedroom in my house.

I was wondering should I need to get building regs for these works?

Many thanks in advance.

Best thing is just to phone your local council office and ask what they want. They are normally very helpfull

yes. you will need to apply for a building application notice from your council. Give them a ring and they can supply you with the application form and inform you of the fee.

Definately for the en-suite as there are all kinds of regs you must keep with. I know some people have been tempted to do works without getting approval and it could be fine until you ever come to sell then it would be picked up. I have found my local planners very helpful and give all kinds of advice

In general if the waste water ties into an exisiting soil pipe inside the house then a warrant may not be required- call your local council for advise

also any work requiring a warrant that has electrical work associated with it (ie a light in a room) requires more stuff
