Extract Fans in Kitchens and Bathrooms

[BCFCCTID]

I am trying to get a completion certificate for a double extension from the LA Building inspector and they are asking that I fit extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom

The original plans were passed in 1994! When was it made a regulation that extract fans had to be fitted?
as I may fight this one as it is gonna b a proper ball ache o retro fit them now

Does the kitchen have a cooker hood with built in extractor ?

I hate to say this but if the building inspector wants fan, you need to fit them..... if you want a completion certificate.

Yes its a pain in the proverbial!

Mechanical ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms was certainly a requirement under the 1992 version of Part F: http://www.kentbuildingcontrol.co.uk/pdf/approved-document-f-1992-amended.pdf

A potential way round it is to see if the LABC will accept an alternative means of ventilation, specifically a PIV (positive input ventilation) unit in the loft space (if there is one!).
