Something horrible has come back to me-help pls?

Today I found out that my flat has an alteration that does not have building regulations approval.

I never knew anything about building regulations until today.

 

When reading about building regulations approval, I found out that removal of a wall and insertion of a lintel require building regulations approval.

In 1991 I bought a delapidated old house, and got a builder to knock two rooms into one. The builder was dodgy and ripped me off, and the ceiling in the newly enlarged room began to droop.

I got another set of builders in, who inserted a lintel to strengthen the ceiling.

I left that house in 1994, but am worried that the work I had done unapproved could have caused an accident and hurt/kill someone, or could still cause an accident and hurt/kill someone.

 

I cannot just forget about this, because I feel responsible.

There is no way of knowing if this unaurthorised work has hurt or killed anyone.

 

Where do I go from here?

 

I feel like the protagonist in crime and punishment.

 

help please.

Can anyone help pls?

 

thanks

Are you writing about a project that occurred 16 years ago???

I'm unsure of what you can do, other than approaching your city or county and asking these questions.

I think I have found a possible solution

 

thanks
