We plan each adaptation around the resident's routines and needs, and keep them informed about every stage, because an adaptation is only a success if it works for the person living with it.

Which rules apply in Maldon?

Replacement windows, heating systems and some electrical work are controlled under the Building Regulations. In higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with two or more homes), building work needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt.
