My surveyor told me the ventilated lobby between kitchen and bathroom was never required, but was a very common misreading of the building regs even by some architects and BCO's until the wording was changed to clarify it. -- Andrew Gabriel |

It was required under the Public Health Act c1962 and compliance with this was a requirement if you were getting an improvement grant - back in my early BCO days (late 1970s) we were still seeing lots of grant aided bathroom extensions/conversions to older terrace houses. -- Tony Bryer SDA UK 'Software to build on' http://www.sda.co.uk Free SEDBUK boiler database browser http://www.sda.co.uk/qsedbuk.htm [Latest version QSEDBUK 1.12 released 8 Dec 2005] |
