Do we have any experts reference the regs here?
Just finishing off our barn conversion and the inspector has snagged a few things, nothing serious, just nonsense like restraints on the upstairs windows.
Anyway, he wants me to install an electric extractor fan in the kitchen. It is a huge kitchen diner area with high vaulted ceiling and had an outside door and three openable windows. It has an Aga electric stove that stays hot all the time and is actually the driest room in the house. Despite all this he wants me to stick a silly electric extractor fan in (those daft things that rotate faster when the wind's up when they're switched off and only appear to make noise rather than achieve anything!) This is a nonsense really, but do I have any room to maneuver here regarding exceptions or dispensations - seemingly opening a window isn't satisfactory, or should I just get on with the job?
Cheers Julian.
