Hi,
I've just had a report done on the windows of my house (requirement for selling) and the report states that the ventilation in the kitchen is not adequate. Therefore the window should be replaced or an extractor fan fitted.
Does anyone know what the rules/regs are for this, I wouldn't mind double checking the figures myself. I understand that regs change over time, but I'm just a bit hesitant that the guy measured everything correctly. The windows were fitted by Penicuik in 1999 and I'm surprised that they don't meet the required regulations (assuming the regs haven't changed since then).
The kitchen is pretty standard, with a window with 2 openers (bottom opener and a hopper).
I've just had a brief look through the building regs (and am now permentantly brain damaged), and it states
for any building with natural ventilation by -
1.. compliance with Section 3 of BS5925: 1991 (1995); or 2.. bla bla Which implies to me that the rules haven't changed since 1995, and therefore if Penicuik installed the windows correctly, they should still comply.Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
