Not professional advice
Renovation Notes does not provide structural engineering, architectural, surveying, planning, legal, financial or building-control advice, and nothing on this website creates a professional or client relationship between you and its writers. Before making any decision or carrying out any work, you should obtain advice from a suitably qualified and, where relevant, accredited professional — for example a chartered structural engineer, an architect, your local building-control body, a party-wall surveyor or a solicitor — who can assess your specific circumstances.
No warranty as to accuracy
While we make reasonable efforts to keep the content accurate and current, UK planning rules, building regulations, standards and costs change frequently and vary by location and by project.
