Scottish Building Standards - Building Warrants In Scotland

On 1st May 2005 new building regulations came into force in Scotland, with more stringent rules for electrical work carried out as part of work covered by a building warrant.

Stirling Electrical Services Ltd. have been appointed as an Approved Body and we employ Approved Certifiers of Construction (Electrical Installations to BS7671), under the new Local Authority Building Warrant Scheme, which is the Certification of Construction (Electrical Installations to BS7671).

Electrical Installations Certification involved within Building Warrant work in domestic and non-domestic should now be completed by an Electrical Approved Body and Certifier under the new Scottish Building Regulations 2004.

Stirling Electrical Services Ltd. can now carry out this work for customers throughout Scotland and we will provide full electrical installation and the necessary building standards certification required under the new scheme, allowing the process of your local authority passing the building warrant work, much easier and less time consuming and at less expense to you the customer.

When is a Building Warrant required?

A building warrant is normally required if you intend to erect, alter, extend, demolish or change the use of any structure. It is the building owner's responsibility to enquire whether a building warrant or any other permission is required prior to the commencement of any building operations.
