Building Regulations And Kitchens

Building regulations are all around us, so when you are considering major refurbishment work such as a new kitchen design you should check out building regulations which might be relevant.

Planning Permission - Kitchens

First the good news - planning permission is not generally required when planning a new kitchen unless the kitchen is part of a house extension or a listed building. If your home is a listed building you should bear in mind that you should always contact building control whenever you are wanting to undertake any kind of home improvement work, whether it's a new kitchen or other home improvement or DIY project.

Fitting A Kitchen In A New Room

Generally if your new kitchen is going to be fitted in an existing room which is already a kitchen then there is no requirement to inform building control, however if you are planning to fit a kitchen in a room in your home which is not presently a kitchen you will probably need to comply with building regulations with regards to ventilation, fire safety and drainage requirements. If in doubt you should always contact building control to establish and clarify whether any building regulations need to be complied with relating to your home improvement plans.
