Which rules apply in Mansfield?
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 Mansfield before we price.

- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
