To apply for building regulations approval you will need to complete an application form and pay a fee. The fee depends on the type of application submitted, and the type and cost of the work.
The law requires that this should be made no later than two working days before work starts on site; however we advise you to apply early so that we have more time forewarn you of any potential difficulties.
