calvert said:I've added a 60m2 extension to my house (kitchen and lounge) Am I required to fit mains powered smoke detectors to satisfy building regs? Can anyone enlighten me please?
Thanks in anticipation,
Calvert
dingbat said:For an extension of that size and purpose building regulation consent is required. So the whole project must be subject to building control and the inspecting officer is the one to turn to for guidance.
Or maybe calvert forgot to notify the job?
Jaymack said:Not required for your extension, would have been required for a loft extension but then yours is not in the air.

dingbat said:Jaymack, an extension such as calvert describes absolutely does require building regulations approval.
Not in dispute.
If such approval has been sought then the construction process will have been inspected and the need (or otherwise) for smoke alarms should have been advised by the building inspector/s.
Accent on the should, The originator should keep us posted on the outcome.
Edit: I was typing while bas was posting - dang!
