Are these requirements or recommendations and are there regulations I have to comply with?

Yes, you will have to make an application under the Building Regulations which cover certain aspects such as ventilation, insulation and drainage.

Your Local Authority Building Control Team will be happy to help.

Building Control will also be happy to advise as to compliance with the Building Regulations and on the issue of completion certificates at the end of the work. This is necessary should you wish to sell your property in the future.
