"Mike Lyle" wrote in message ... snip there's nothing new about Building Regs. I've looked at the site, and I can certainly replace a pane of glass myself without being a member of anything. What's involved here is _replacement installation_, not repair. Replacement windows and doors have to meet new requirements, that's all: and that's a very good thing. A sample from the site: Where a window or windows is/are completely replaced (as opposed to repaired) in existing dwellings, they must comply with Approved Documents Parts L1 and N (safety in relation to impact). And you don't have to be a qualified electrician to do electrical work. You have to meet the regs, that's all. It's been true all my life, give or take a detail or two. Whats the site? I've just replaced a number of internal doors, would be interesting to see what regs apply to a door! I wonder if a door purchased from a DIY store would anyway meet the regs? And how would someone buying my house in say 5 years time know if they had been replaced/met the regs? -- Tumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com |
