It depends in what context??
From a VAT perspective its VAT exempt - so you can claim back all your VAT for both materials and labour (but not professional fees).
From a building control perspective its pretty much treated as a new build although clearly there are pre-existing features, limitations etc that have to be taken into account. Like a new build it normally requires certification throughout the build and upon completion (an architect can do this and its a bit like an NHBC stamp).
Why do you ask??
