hi, can some body tell me what the minimum floor to ceiling height is allowed for a domestic extension.
7'-9" or around 2360mm is the norm (standard wall boards are only 2400mm) but, as already stated, there is no minimum requirement; in my experience, anything over 2150mm would be generally acceptable.7' 9" trust me.
7' 9" trust me.
Got to agree with Woody, Shy & Eng33. Although there are many guides & standards that recommend a minimum cieling height for residential properties, there is nothing enforceable through Building Regs.OK, Woody,
I'm just an old bricky, I don't want to fall out with anyone here, and I know that on existing buildings where there are extenuating circumstances that the normally accepted building regs can be relaxed.
However 7'9" (2.350m if you prefer) is the 'correct' minimum height which allows for a reasonable head room etc
Not to mention 2 or three course over the openings (with cill height falling naturally at the correct height for worktops etc.
So please don't beat me up if I don't have the time to go searching through the documentation to 'prove' what I say is true.
It is at least the normally accepted minimum height used through the latter part of the 20c.
