Applying after work has been carried out
Sometimes work is completed without Building Regulation permission and requires retrospective approval. We will do all we can to help you, but you will need to submit a Regularisation application and pay the appropriate fee.
Some parts of the works may need to be exposed for inspection, we will advise you when this is necessary, you may also need to alter some of the work carried out and provide any relevant commissioning certificates. We will try to keep this to a minimum.
Once the work is complete and compliant a regularisation certificate can be issued.
Penalties for contravening the building regulations
If you contravene the regulations by building without notifying us or by carrying out work which does not comply, we can prosecute.
If you are convicted, you are liable to a penalty of up to £5,000, plus £50 for each day on which each individual contravention is not put right after you have been convicted.
If you do not put the work right when asked to do so, we have the power to do it themselves and recover costs from you.
