building regulations
Building regulations in the United Kingdom are statutory instruments or statutory regulations that seek to ensure that the policies set out in the relevant legislation are carried out. Building regulations approval is required for most building work in the UK. Building regulations that apply across England and Wales are set out in the Building Act 1984 while those that apply across Scotland are set out in the Building (Scotland) Act 2003. The Act in England and Wales permits detailed regulations to be made by the Secretary of State. The regulations made under the Act have been periodically updated, rewritten or consolidated, with the latest and current version being the Building Regulations 2010. The UK Government (at Westminster) is responsible for the relevant legislation and administration in England, the Welsh Government (at Cardiff) is the responsible body in Wales, the Scottish Government (at Edinburgh) is responsible for the issue in Scotland, and the Northern Ireland Executive (at Belfast) has responsibility within its jurisdiction. There are very similar (and technically very comparable) Building Regulations in the Republic of Ireland.
Recently passed my UHWSS and got me card as well.
One of me mate had a Megaflo fitted but the installer has left without finishing the work (payment issue). The Unvented cylinders are installed in the basement. The pipe work all seems fine except the discharge pipe work.
As per Building Regs...

As plumbers do any of you just specialise in any one aspect of plumbing or is this not feasible eg. do any of you just fit bathroom suites or do drainage work etc. I appreciate in today’s climate you have to turn your hand to all parts of the trade to make a living but just wondered if in the...

Hi everyone,
Couldn't decide if this regs-related question should be in the 'water regs' or 'general' forum - apologies if this isn't the right place..

Hello All,
I am looking for help on how to lay out a new waste system. Do I use single stack? Do I need special venting? I don't know.
I don't think it will be a particularly complicated system: an upstairs toilet/shower/sink and bath and a downstairs kitchen sink.
If anyone can point...

To me the whole plumbing and heating area is a total mess.
You don't need any qualifications to go and fix a loo or dripping tap or plumb in a new bathroom or kitchen.
Yet water regulations insist on things like having the cold water supply below the hot water. Water safety seems low on the...

I have checked on the Gas Safe Registation website and can not find where I have to register the newly installed gas appliances? Is there a link link we had on CORGI web site? I can't find it! If any one knows please post a link! Or am I being thick? :(

My mother needs a new boiler; her old one is over 40 years old. She has been told by a plumber that it is compulsory ie building regulations that she MUST have thermostatic valves fitted to all her radiators. Is this true?
She has a few rooms in the house that are never used and the radiators...

I am thinking of replacing an old Potterton Netaheat Boiler with a Viessmann boiler. Existing DHW cylinder to remain. Existing CH system to remain. Existing plumbing to DHW and CH is already four-pipe. What would be a reasonable ballpark budget to allow?
