This is Sunsquare’s practical guide to understanding what English building regulations’ Approved Document K means for skylight installation projects. We hope the advice it contains proves valuable to architects, specifiers, surveyors and dabblers alike.
Approved Document K covers protection from falling, collision and impact around stairways, ramps, ladders, doors, windows, balustrading and barriers. It also comprises guidance – previously part of Approved Documents N and M until April 2013 – on safety of glazing and roof access in residential dwellings.
While we have endeavoured for utmost accuracy in this article, we always advise thorough consultation of official documentation and local building control authorities before commencing any work.
