Steve Hacking , Managing Director of SupaLite , states ; “ Following requests from installers to assist with their building regulations applications , we identified the process could be made easier by offering a service where the application could be submitted to us alongside their roof order .

“ Through buying an accredited system and SupaLite submitting the application on behalf of the installer to Hertfordshire building control we have made the process simpler for our customers . Since launching this has been a success with installers and applications are growing every week .”

Who Are Hertfordshire Building Control ?

HBC ’ s team of qualified expert surveyors work in collaboration with local builders , architects , and agents to ensure that every building project achieves building control approval with the minimum of disruption .

Their award-winning expertise covers all aspects of building work , from simple extensions to large-scale commercial or residential developments .

Building regulations can be complex , which is why SupaLite have teamed up with HBC , offering advice and guidance throughout a project to help installers avoid unnecessary costs and delays .

Building Regulations Inspection and Certification

The cost of the service is £ 375 + VAT , which includes a plan check , approval , and appointment of the local building inspector to carry out the site visits and certification .

Please note , if you intend to replace the window frames and not change the existing brickwork , openings or perimeter sizes , this can go through the same application at the same cost .

It is also important to note the above does not cover new build conservatories or retrospective approvals .

There are also options to include an opening into property for an additional fee .

Option 1 Additional work to remove separating elements between conservatory and dwelling house : £ 85 + VAT . This will require SAP calculations to be provided to the local inspector .

Option 2 Additional work to increase the width or height of the structural opening between the conservatory and house : £ 145 + VAT . This may require structural calculations to be provided to the local inspector .

Don ’ t Confuse Planning Permission with Building Regulations

These two phrases crop up regularly when it comes to installations . Although similar , they relate to very different aspects of a project . Planning permission relates to the development of a building or structure . So , if your customer is planning on building an extension – how will that impact the environment ? How will it affect their neighbours ? Are there any problems with the land or site that you should consider ?

Building regulations set the standards for health and safety and apply to both new structures and any changes to an

existing structure . Building regulations cover design , construction , fuel and power requirements and disabled access .

The Importance of Building Regulations

Building regulations play a crucial role in ensuring the safety , accessibility , sustainability , and overall quality of structures . UK building regulations are fundamental to creating safe , sustainable , and inclusive spaces .

Adhering to these regulations is a commitment to constructing better , safer , and more resilient conservatories .

SupaLite is committed to providing safe and efficient products , which is why they ’ re proud to offer their new Building Regulations Scheme to registered installers .
