As a condominium owner, you have a great deal of freedom to renovate your home, but some measures require approval from the board. It is essential that all renovation work is carried out professionally, with consideration for neighbours, and that any work affecting the property or the association’s installations complies with relevant rules and industry standards.
You are free to renovate your apartment, but certain changes—especially those that may affect the building or systems maintained by the association—require prior approval from the board.
We are committed to maintaining the quality of our shared property, and the requirements outlined in the renovation application (download below) are there to ensure proper oversight and documentation of structural changes. If you carry out renovations without the necessary permits, you may be liable for any corrective measures the association needs to undertake.
To maintain a pleasant living environment and reduce disturbances, noisy renovation work may only be carried out on weekdays between 08:00 and 18:00.
Non-disruptive work is allowed on weekends as well, whether done by yourself or by a contractor. Please also ensure that bags of construction waste or similar are removed within one week.
Water damage is common in Sweden, causing damage estimated at around 100 million SEK every week. Therefore, it is essential that all work complies with industry regulations. If you are planning to move a floor drain or make other structural changes to a bathroom, you must submit an application.
All bathroom renovations must be carried out by certified professionals. The association requires that wet room renovations comply with the Byggkeramikrådet’s BBV regulations and the Golvbranschens GVK guidelines for water-damage-safe construction. We recommend hiring only certified professionals.
Planning to renovate your kitchen? Please note:
Only certified electricians are allowed to perform the following:
Go trough Elsäkerhetsverket checklist to identify potential issues in your home.
The residual current device (RCD) in your hallway detects electrical faults and will cut the power to protect you. Always switch off the electricity via the RCD before changing light bulbs or performing other maintenance. Household electricity is dangerous – always be cautious.
If you have the necessary knowledge, you may replace switches, sockets, light fittings, etc. However, you are liable for any errors, so if you're unsure, hire a qualified electrician.See practical advice for laypersons on Elsäkerhetsverket’s website.
You need written approval from the association for any work involving:
Submit a completed Renovation Application Form to the board. Processing time is approximately 1–2 months. A final inspection of the work must be scheduled with the board. Notify the board via email at styrelsen@kladstrecket24.se.
Any work that falls under your personal maintenance responsibility as an apartment owner does not require approval.
