Building Regulations Disclaimer

The Building Regulations content on the Planning Portal provides you with a practical level of guidance to enable you to better understand how the Building Regulations might impact on a building project you are doing or considering. 

This is not a definitive interpretation of the Building Regulations. Unless you have a reasonable working knowledge of building construction it would be advisable before any work is started to obtain appropriate professional advice which is relevant to the building work you want to carry out (e.g. from an architect, a structural engineer, a building surveyor, a heating engineer or replacement window specialist) and to choose a registered builder, or a registered installer, to carry out the work.
