Which rules apply in Beverley?

The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Beverley before we price.

  • Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
  • Building regulations cover structural changes, new partitions, ensuite drainage, fire-resisting construction and notifiable electrical work.
  • Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
  • Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
