What building regulations apply to double garage conversions in Bedfordshire?

Double garage conversions in Bedfordshire always need Building Regulations approval, even when planning permission is not required. Building Control look at structural safety when the garage door is removed and infilled, thermal insulation to the floor, walls and roof (Part L), ventilation (Part F), electrical work (Part P), damp-proofing and moisture control (Part C), fire safety, and drainage if you add a bathroom or utility (Part G and H). An inspector visits at key stages and issues a completion certificate once the work complies. We build every conversion to these standards and arrange the inspections for you, and you can read more in our guide to the common questions homeowners ask before converting.
