Trying to understand Building Regs/Control - Solid Roof

[SwitchTheElectricsOff]

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help as I'm going around in circles


We have an old Wickes upvc conservatory (part brick/glass), with polycarbonate roofing. It's about 9sqm.

The conservatory is attached to the house, and the house patio doors have been temporarily taken off (and used for a shed!)

I want to swap this for a solid roof using lightweight tiles, I'll be doing the build.


From what little I understand, if the patio doors were re-attached, I wouldn't need building regs for the roof, however, if the doors are left off, do I need building regs as it's now part of the house? (which makes total sense) and what is the process?

Could someone clarify?

Many thanks!

Could someone clarify

It's not just the roof. The walls floor and structure need to become compliant.
Go online an fill out an application form and pay the fee.
You might want to get the alterations designed or checked over by a professional prior, just in case you end up polishing a turd.

Heating has to be able to be isolated as well.

That depends on whether they bring it up to B'regs standards or not.

Well if they are going to fill in an application and get it passed they will have to

Then your statement.....

...has no merit in this case.
