Planning & Regulations
Sheffield Garage Conversions will take care of all Building Regulation needs, for the local authority, which applies for any garage conversion that turns storage space into living space.
The Regulations are not the same as planning permission, they ensure that the work conforms to health and safety standards and that the work has been carried out correctly. Work using incorrect materials could mean that selling the property in the future is not possible.
They cover areas such as :
- Structural stability
- Access
- Fire resistance
- Weather resistance
- Means of escape
- Energy conservation and ventilation
- Electrical certificates
To ensure that a garage conversion will conform to the Regulations a full set of plans should be submitted to the local authority.
PLANNING PERMISSION (if required) :
Once again you need not to worry as we shall apply and get all necessary documents in order and submit , we shall deal with the local council on a regular basis and keep you informed the whole way through.
Rest assured, with Sheffield Garage Conversions we will provide you with a complete service from initial design & quotation, survey to architectural drawings. We take care of 3rd party & building regulation approvals before we commence build and erection of your new Panoramic Extension or garage conversion.
