Got two jobs that I want to do at the house - just wondering if I need building control in or not.
The first is adding an en-suite to the master bedroom, this is going inside the room in the corner.
The second is moving the doorway from the lounge to the kitchen about 6 foot left.
If it helps to know the wall with the door way in is a solid wall that runs across the house, but the house doesn't have any brick walls upstairs.
As for the en-suite it will consist of an electric shower, a sink and a toilet. The Electrics will obviously be done by a part p electrician but I want to do the rest myself. The downstairs toilet is diagonally below the en-suite so that is the obvious place for the waste to go to - but the downstairs toilet goes straight into the ground (doesn't have a stack) - I was going to build an internal stack with a durgo valve on the top and feed the waste from the toilet, the sink, and the shower into it.
So does any of that require Building Control to come and inspect? If it does is there any way to avoid it ie by using a macerator instead? There is a stack on the front of the house for the upstairs bathroom, but that one would be hard to get to - that is also an internal one, but that comes through the roof.
