Do I need Buildings Regulations approval to renovate my bathroom?

In the United Kingdom, the need for a Buildings Regulations approval for a new bathroom largely depends on the extent of the work involved.

Generally, if your bathroom renovation involves structural changes, plumbing alterations, or electrical work, it is likely that you will require a building consent. This is because these changes may affect the safety, durability, and compliance of the building.

Your renovation consultant at Refresh can take care of this on your behalf during the Working Drawings and Costing stage of the process. They will be able to assess whether a building consent is required and guide you through the process to ensure compliance with the UK’s building standards.
