Hello all,
Any info you might have that can help me with the below questions will be gratefully received.
Just about to try and get final regs signed off on a 5m rear and side extension. Its been a bit of a labour of love after starting back in 2017 we just never quite finished it till last month. Its been 90% complete the whole time just now need to get the paperwork.
Inspectors have emailed me to say they are not doing site visits as per covid rules so photos need to be submitted. Took 100s of photos thruout the build so pretty covered for that but have noticed when ging back over the pictures the builder didnt fit cavity closers to where my 8m bifolds were installed. they were purchased and i can see them in the photo sitting outside on the ground but looks like the door fitters have cracked on and installed the aluminium frame without them. Inspector has listed that he wants a photo of installed cavity closers. Will this be a big issue if i say i dont have a picture? obviously its a pain they were not fitted but is that a fail on getting sign off? The doors themselves have a 70cm overhang extending from the roof over the entire run of the door and side walls so it never gets wet when they rain. does that help?
Second question. side extension has both bathroom and utility rooms both with good size electric Velux windows. Inspector wants to see pictures of extraction fans in both rooms. Have searched the regs and it would seem from my reading that the windows are enough? is this correct or do i need the fans as well?
thanks again for any guidance.
