[Closed] Help - Making my own windows - building regs compliant drawings

If it helps, when we did ours in a conservation area we used photographs of the proposed cross sections / joints etc. and it got approved like that, without any drawings. AFAIK they won't just fail it straight off, if they want more detail they will ask for it.

do you need the drwgs for listed approval or are you asking for spec to make the window comply to bldg. regs ?

There are some threads on ukworkshop forum where people have done this. Try looking / asking on there.

AIUI if you don't change the original frame, the window doesn't need to comply to the building regs wrt thermal performance. If you change the window and frame you need to show compliance to the full building regs which are quite onerous wrt heat loss.

Thanks for the replies - up to my eyeballs in oak dust.
We have to change the windows as they are leaky, but they are not listed so it is just a question of meeting building regs, which I agree are fairly onerous and not written to be tremendously accessible. Some of the windows are completely new openings in old stone walls.

I've had a look on ukworkshop and that is very handy - thanks for the recommendation.

If anyone is interested, we are doing this to set up some cycling specific accommodation in North Wales at [url= http://www.tybeic.com ]tybeic[/url]

Thanks
