Herts & Essex Lofts Reminds Homeowners of the Importance of Building Regulations

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Herts & Essex Lofts, the loft conversion company that serves and provides top quality loft conversions throughout the Essex and Hertfordshire areas, has sent a timely reminder to people that making sure their loft conversion company follows strict building regulations is just as vital as deciding on the style and design of the work. The only way to make sure these regulations are followed is by employing a reliable and experienced loft conversion company to carry out the job.

Do not run the risk

The advice coming from Herts & Essex Lofts (http://www.hertsandessexlofts.co.uk) is that these regulations are there for a reason and ignoring them could cost more than money. Government regulations cover structural stability, fire safety and ventilation, all of which are in place to make sure the loft conversion is as safe and structurally sound as possible.

A spokesman for Herts & Essex Lofts had this advice for people considering a loft conversion in the near future: “Whilst it is easy to get distracted by the finer points of how you want your dream loft conversion to look and feel, that dream could turn into a very real nightmare if the loft conversion company misadvises you over building regulations.  For example the installation of mains smoke alarms, linked to others in the property, are a must. Overlooking such regulations could have grave consequences.”

Only use a Reputable and Recommended Loft Conversion Company

Herts & Essex Lofts recommends homeowners do their research when it comes to loft conversion companies. “Homeowners should only use a company that has a good reputation in the local area and one that will openly explain the regulations to its customers. If this important advice is ignored, it could prove a costly mistake in terms of money and personal safety” says the company.
