If I want to carry out a loft conversion to my home, will the building regulations apply?

Department: Environment Services
Division: Environment Services/Building Control

YES - The relevant requirements of the regulations will be applied so as to ensure, for example;

  • the structural strength of the proposed floor is sufficient; 
  • the stability of the structure (including the roof) is not endangered; 
  • safe escape from fire; 
  • and safely designed stairs to the new floor.
