Replastering, insulation and Building Regs

The 'new' (i.e., 2010) Approved Doc L1B says that it is 50% of the surface of an individual element or 25% of the total building envelope. It then goes into mind-numbing detail about precisely what does & what doesn't count.

In the real world, if you're doing this as part of other works that would require a Building Regulations application, then check. Otherwise just do what you feel like.

Good practical advice.

Basic tips when doing what you like is to:

1. Apply subtle opaque film or white out to windows, it doesn't pay to advertise.

1. Avoid using a skip, it's a red flag, store waste out of sight and dispose of at a later date.

I'm not suggesting cutting corners, do the best job you can but don't be regs obsessed.

Lets say you replastered the 3 walls of a bathroom one by one, and didnt meet the latest rules. In principle, how long would one have to wait between one part of the task and the next?
