Building Regulations and Internal Decorating

When you're looking to refresh the interior of your home with common decorating jobs, such as putting up new wallpaper, painting your walls, or installing fresh skirting boards, you typically won't need to seek official permission under the Building Regulations. These kinds of cosmetic updates inside your property usually fall outside the scope of such approvals.

However, it's really important that you bear in mind a couple of key points before you begin:

• Be aware that certain specific materials you choose or particular processes you employ might introduce additional considerations or guidelines you'll need to follow.

• If your project involves or affects the external walls of your property, this work is viewed quite differently and comes with its own distinct set of rules and requirements.
