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 Wood Green 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.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- 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.
