am I in trouble?

[tombo]

Just fitted a wooden folding loft ladder as i want easy access for storage and also want to upgrade the insulation.

i did not even think to consult the council over building regs
have i broken any rules?

Here are some photos of the installation and a picture of the mess i have to clean up

excellent ladders tombo,
fitted the same in my own house, i put facings round to give it a more finished look, though thats optional.

dont think you would need planning for them...

Thanks for the input Alastair, the ladder came with some plastic trim but its too small to cover the gap.
I plan to make some moulding out of the few floor boards i took up to cut the hole

i plastered the little gap around the frame before fitting the facings,

the plaster expanded and the blooming door wouldnt close

had to remove plaster.

Framing it with the same architrave that's going round the doors would finish off so it look in keeping with the rest.
