We will be in touch
hi anyone know how to report a possible breach of buildings regs.A place where i sometimes work have knocked through a wall to create two adjoining rooms but they are on different levels by about 3ft and there is limited ceiling space, so the gap to walk/cimb through [as there are 3 steps ]is about 5ft.Hard to describe but in an office with more than 5 people working in it, it can't be legal.any advice appreciated rob.
Local council.
Would try and contact the local building control officer at the council.
There might well be other implications around H&S as well.
I think that the only height restrictions in Building Regs refer to stairs which must have a 2m head room over the pitc h line.
Ah, just seen the bit about steps.
Do they just employ midgets,or children,if so no problems then.

yes i was thinking about h+s in the event of fire/smoke if you were running to the exit you would knock yourself out. [i know you should calmly walk].
yes they put a note up,and stuck pipe insulation where you bang your head.
I would be concerned that the opening is properly constructed and supported.
