Which rules apply in Gainsborough?
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 Gainsborough 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.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
