I'm intending to have an extension that makes 2 or our existing rooms a bit bigger, and in the corner of one of them knocks up a couple of interior walls to create an ensuite.
Just had a builder in to get a quote and he's told me something I think is REALLY weird and was wondering if anyone has any experience of it...
Apparantly, the building regs people will insist that my existing battery powered smoke alarms are replaced with a mains based system. Even though they are not in or near the work we are doing.
Is this right? It sounds just mad? How can they come in to give building regs approval for some work and insist that other parts of my house are changed?
Anyone?
Tony.
