Conservatory - change in regs?
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 5:35 pm
I had a conservatory built on my house in March 2009.
In this conservatory I have 2 radiators, which have the usual control knob on each radiator to turn it up to high or low heat setting, but they do run off the normal house temperature control.
I am in the process of selling this property, but I am unsure about the current regulations and if they apply to my situation. When I had the conservatory built I was told I didnt need any planning permission or building regulations checks.
Looking at the regs now, it seems as though I would need a regulation check due to the radiators not being on their own control settings (i.e not the normal house temp control). Independent heating systems - but may be misinterpretation.
Are new regulations just prospective or do they also apply retrospectively?
i.e. would I need to get some form of check?
I have been renting the house out for a year or so and have had all the electric/gas safety checks carried out so I know all is in order.
Please advise.
