Looking after the work

Keep a record of the original house, the extension and the work completed at their connection.
Use the new rooms, ventilation and installed equipment in accordance with their handover instructions.
Observe the junction with the existing house after heavy rain. Report staining or persistent moisture promptly.
Check with the project team before changing ground levels, adding a deck, attaching equipment or making penetrations near the new work.
