Contact your local building control & notify what you propose to do pay their fee (£200ish) do the first fix, call building control again to inspect, do 2nd fix & call building control to inspect & test & sign off as per part P of building regs.

Yes you can do the work.

Exactly as is said above. Being 'approved' is only a JIB thing and means nothing in the real world.
