Regulations for Double Storey Extensions.

When planning your double storey extension, it’s important to be aware of the regulations that govern this type of work. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines, delays, or even legal action, so it’s important to work with a reputable and experienced contractor like ourselves.

Some things to consider when planning your double storey extension include:

Planning permission:

In London, planning permission is required for most double storey extensions. Your local council will have specific guidelines and requirements that you must adhere to. We can help you navigate this process and ensure that your extension meets all necessary regulations.

Building regulations:

Your extension will also need to comply with building regulations to ensure that it’s structurally sound and safe to use. Building regulations cover a wide range of factors, including structural integrity, fire safety, and energy efficiency. We have extensive experience in building regulations and will ensure that your extension is compliant with all necessary standards.

Party wall agreements:

If your extension will affect a party wall (i.e. a wall shared with a neighbouring property), you’ll need to enter into a party wall agreement to ensure that the work doesn’t cause damage to the wall or neighbouring property. Again, we can help you navigate this process and ensure that all necessary agreements are in place before work begins.

Site access and safety:

Your contractor will need to ensure that the site is safe and accessible for workers, equipment, and materials. This may involve obtaining permits for road closures or scaffolding, or taking other safety precautions to ensure that the work can be completed safely.

We understand that regulations and compliance can be daunting for our clients. That’s why we work closely with our clients to ensure that all necessary permits and agreements are in place before work begins. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and our commitment to ensuring that your double storey extension project is completed to the highest standards.
