Planning permission
Planning permission is not normally required for maintenance of floors though if you live in a listed building you should check with your local planning authority.
Building regulations
If you are replacing or fitting a new floor building regulations would normally apply. Factors to consider include load bearing capacity, thermal and sound insulation, and fire safety.
Greener Homes
If you have a suspended timber ground floor you can make significant energy savings by sealing any gaps to stop draughts.
