Building regulations - inspections

We require one day's notice prior to inspection. Therefore, if you ring on Monday then an inspection will be carried out on Tuesday.

All inspections should be requested by telephoning 01455 255677.

You will need to leave your name and telephone number, site address, and stage(s) of work that require inspection. Also let us know if you need us to arrange to meet you on site.

A record is kept of all inspection requests should there be a dispute later.

The person requesting the inspection should also ensure that they are satisfied that all aspects of the work are viewed at the time of the inspection. We cannot be held responsible for defective work if we have not been asked to inspect it.

Officers will organise their diaries into an efficient route around their area, therefore timed appointments must fit in with this.

If on inspection you require a further visit, please contact the office directly rather than request the visit from the officer. Whilst we are aware that this is not ideal, there have been occasions where visits have been missed. Please do not hesitate to ask the officer to telephone the office from site if it's not convenient for you to call the office.
