Base Options for Building Regulations
We offer two base options for extensions, updated to meet the latest building regulations as of June 15, 2022: the U-values requirements for building regulations have changed in England. Floors changed from; 0.22W/m2K to 0.18W/m2K.
Traditional Build: This method removes a large quantity of dirt and requires a 600mm wide by a minimum of a 1-metre deep trench filled with C20/25 concrete. It requires significant excavation and waste removal. If trees are nearby, this can increase to 1500mm deep depending on building inspectors’ recommendations.
The DurabasePlus 100 system is designed for single-floor Extensions and Conservatories. The picture shows weed anti-membrane and steel module frames bolted together and sitting on padstones.
Insulated floors and walls exceed building regulations requirements. DurabasePlus 100 offers a quicker, cleaner, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional building techniques. Designed to meet England’s building regulations with a total U-Value of 0.17 W/m²K. It provides better U-Values than traditional building methods, is cleaner and quicker, and comes with a manufacturer’s 25-year guarantee.
Drains.
Building regulations stipulate that you must contact your sewerage company if you plan to build over or close to a public drain. Unfortunately, you cannot build your Extension over a manhole using conventional concrete foundations since manholes need to be accessible by the Water Authority. They need to have full access to the sewer system. Also, internal systems such as manholes have an increased risk of flooding; therefore, building over one would never be advised. Instead, you could look to relocate your manhole if it is affecting your extension building plans. A cheaper alternative is the DurabasePlus 100 system, which can be installed with a cutout in the steelwork for easy access to the drain with a double-seal inspection chamber.
