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 Billericay before we price.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
