Conversions
If you're planning to convert part of your property into a new type of space, you’ll likely need Building Regulations approval. These types of projects often involve structural changes and may require additional support, insulation, ventilation, or roof alterations to meet safety and energy efficiency standards.
Typical examples include:
- Converting a garage into living space
- Turning a carport into a garage (this is classed as a single-storey extension)
- Loft conversions
- Any other conversion that changes how a space is used
Before starting work, it’s important to check whether your project needs approval. Our Building Control team can guide you through the process and help ensure your plans meet all necessary regulations.
