Moving a bathroom upstairs - but what next?

Alan Julius AJ Gas & Water Services. Point 1 moving a bathroom upstairs in a property. Planing permission is only needed if you are going to interfere with the structure of the property like adding an extension Loft or basement conversions. Jobs done outside of this Scope require each trades person to belong to a professional body example Builder = FMB. Electricians = NICEIC or Napit. Gas installers = GSR and so fourth. Each trade will be aware of the building regulations that affect their trades and will know what work undertaken will require certification. when certification is Done you will receive a Building Compliance certificate Covering the work. So for Example House has Planning permission for Loft and Extension A Building inspector will be assigned to your project to make sure the build is to Building regulation, then the Council will issue a Compliance Certificate for the work that has been completed by the Builder. Plumbers and electricians self certify and you will receive Building Compliance certificates For New Boilers gas fires Whole house rewires loft and extension wiring. Small Jobs that do not require Compliance certificates can be self certified for gas engineers with a CP12 certificate and so on. They are in place and make it much easier when you sell a property and much more when it comes to insurance. Its a broad subject covering a wide scope of Buildings Commercial ,Industrial,Domestic homes,and much more. It is there to protect all parties concerned. The knock on effects that can be caused from not complying or a trade person that does awful work can be expensive rectification and stress all round. So always use a class of Trades Person. Hope this helps. AJ Gas & Water Services
