Building rules in Ceredigion
Welsh building regulations treat beams and new openings as controlled building work. We apply to Ceredigion County Council on your behalf before anything is removed, give the commencement notice the 2026 Welsh rules require, and the steel is checked before it is boxed in.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as well as England, so a beam bearing into a shared wall needs a party structure notice at least two months before work starts. We arrange notices through a party wall surveyor.
