Driving between Bala and Porthmadog today I stopped to make a couple of phone calls. I noticed an old farm house that might be described as "with scope for improvement".If you want to carry out minor repairs to your home e.g. re-pointing brickwork, or replacing floorboards then Building Regulations would not be required.
Replacing one or more windows in your home (or most other buildings) then Building Regulations would be required.
Employing a FENSA(Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme) registered installer meaqns that you wont need to involve a Building Control service. But on completion the installer must give a certificate of compliance to both you and the Local Authority. If the window installer is not FENSA registered then you need to make an application to a Building Control service.
If the work amounts to repairs only, for example replacing broken glass then you do not need to apply.
Look at the windows in the photo I think they had gone slightly past the repair stage.
"If you want to carry out internal alteration it is very likely that the Building Regulations will apply. The regulations specify what forms of alteration amount to material alteration and are therefore Building work taking account of the potential for the proposed work to adversely affect compliance of the building with specific requirements."
Confused ...... ask a Building Inspector.
Methinks you've been spammed.
