Building standards in Scotland
Under the Building (Scotland) Regulations, insulating an existing loft does not normally need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards, including Section 6 on energy. Converting a loft or creating a room in the roof needs a warrant. We confirm the position for your address on the quote.
