Building Control

Site Inspections. Please note that due to the current situation, our usual service of providing next day site inspections if notified by 16:00 the day before cannot be guaranteed. Please allow as much time as possible when requesting site visits and ensure that the work is actually ready for an inspection when you request it. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation during this period.
