This is the title of a leaflet being distributed by Communities and Local Government to consumers that have planning permission approval or make enquiries about building regulations.
This is similar to GWN, but also covers, amonst other things, the installation of a new bathroom or kitchen where there are alterations to existing or installation of new electrical and plumbing work. Only like for like replacements of baths, toilets, basins or sinks are not covered.
I am about to quote for removing a bath, basin and toilet and installing a shower cubicle, basin and toilet in new positions. Will I have to notify this work to Building Control and pay a fee or join a Competent Persons Scheme and shell out even more money?
As a one man band, if I have to do either I might as well not bother quoting for the job because the extra costs/overheads involved would make me uncompetitive on price.
