I am thinking of having a wide dormer added to the back of our attic for a shower room and a box room (which currently has a double fronted one at the front). A couple of people have said to me if I have this done than the WHOLE house has to meet current building regs! I cannot see that this can be true, but they say builders have told them. But my house was built in 1890, how can it possibly meet current regs without being flattened and rebuilt?
Confused.
Also can anyone recommend a builder in Bradford (Yorkshire) area who can do plans etc; or should I be after an architect?
