It might be hard to find, given that in most cases fitting them is
illegal. Is there is a reason it needs to be single glazed?


What's the recommended fine and prison sentence?


5000 quid and/or 6 months free B+B

My understanding is this applies if they catch you for failure to notify,
within 6 months of the job. 12 months and they can make you rectify it.

After that I think action is reduced to special cases, presumably in the
case of a dangerous situation remaining.

But I'm hazy of the exact details... Ask in uk.legal.moderated if you want a
precise answer.

Let's put this in context thought. I've recently been round several houses
trying to find something I can afford that isn't crap (hard) and I've seen
various things that have been done and that should have been declared under
Part L (and possibly other docs) and haven't been. Round my way, no-one
really seems to care much beyond structural work.

Cheers
