We had a flat roofed extension built in 1982, my late husband dealt with all the technical stuff!
After his death I can find no paper work or sign off cert for the extension.
I do know that plans were submitted and I was around when the building inspector came to inspect, I worked full time and only aware of that single visit. That was done when the walls had been erected and before the floor was laid and the roof done, thats how I know that pipes were laid from the ventilation bricks in the lounge under the floor to the outer wall of the extension.
In 30 years we have never had a problem, no cracks even during settling and when we had a window replaced with french doors a few years ago the fitters remarked how well it was built it took ages to cut the lower wall out, they said so many just fall over when they have made the cuts.
However, not wanting to leave a problem for my children when I expire I would like to get it sorted but terrified it would cost a fortune to bring it up to current regs, or even worse to have to take it down. Any advice.
Thanks
