Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few questions...
I was going to start work on my house basically it has an extension that was built and the previous owner split it into a kitchen and downstairs bathroom and removed the upstairs bathroom making it a 3 bed.
The walls between the kitchen and bathroom are stud walls they don't run along the beams so arn't supporting the beams.
I also was replacing a bedroom with a bathroom which was the main bit of work that was being done.
On talking to building control they told me I needed quotes before they would do a building notice so I phoned 5 different builders / plumbers to try and get a quote for the job and then waiting, that was about 4 weeks ago and so I got fed up with no written quotes and started knocking down the walls down stairs..
I've now got a quote for the bathroom so was planning on making an application... Do I need to make a regulasation application or will just a normal application do as I've already starting doing some of the work ?
I haven't started work on the bathroom as yet.
Sorry if thats confusing just want to do the work the right way.
Also and I know this would be a matter of opinion, would I be better getting in building control after its all finished and looking well as currently my kitchen looks like a bit of a building site with wires hanging around it.
Thanks
Paul
