Which rules apply in Saddleworth?
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 Saddleworth 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.
- Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.

Modern units are quieter than older ones but still audible. We use them only where gravity drainage is not possible and fit them to reduce noise.
