Do I need approval to carry out repairs to my house, shop or office?

Generally not if the repairs are small, e.g. replacing glass in broken window, replacing floor boards etc.

For larger repairs an application may be required, e.g. recovering a flat roof, re-roofing, rebuilding walls, underpinning, replacing windows, replacing boilers etc.

The best way to check if an application is required is to contact building control.
