kennett Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Morning all, due to an extra lockdown child I'm converting ½ my attached garage into a bedroom for the oldest one. The work will comprise of one stud wall to split the garage, raising the floor 100mm and boarding the existing brick and block walls, 2 of which are internal. Does anyone know what the minimum level of thermal and acoustic insulation the building inspector will want to see, and will they just need the stud wall doing? I've emailed them, but not heard anything back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Refer to Part L1b and Part E for those aspects. A Building Notice is useful for very small works undertaken by an experienced contractor. I suspect you would be better off with a set of drawings, specification and Full Plans submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord O War Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I would get plans drwan up as there will be fire regs to consider as well because it is a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Sorry to jump in on and trample all over this thread. Do we have any building regs experts on here whom I can blag some advice from too? Downstairs unit is a restaurant / bar with a cellar, 1st floor is a domestic flat. I am looking at sticking an extra mansard / floor on top. Planning is a year away and I am currently stripping out the restaurant and flat and adding stuff to the refurb plan is easy. I need to know where to look / who to ask about fire regs in the restaurant and what is needed to allow the mansard to proceed. Indeed, putting in a sprinkler system is an option. Apologies again for the trampling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
