  • I'm still confused on building regulations, and whether I need to get building regs involved if I want to DIY insulate and plasterboard my attached garage? theres alot of talk about 'conversions' but I'm not sure I want to convert? there will still be a garage door, no new windows or doors and its purpose isnt changing from 'workshop/dumping ground' to any 'living' space.

  • I suspect that if you are just making it a less awful place to do workshop tinkering or keep a fridge freezer then just insulate away.

    Also:

    • if you didn't tell them, would they find out?
    • if done, is it done irrevocably?
    • do your insurers care?
    • when you come to sell, would the work significantly contribute to the cost of house, and would the buyer expect BC approval?

    Practically speaking, if its a no to all of the above, not a lot stopping you...
