Irregular Work

When some work is carried out contrary to the Building Regulations enforcement action may be taken. Wherever possible we will discuss these problems with you so that the work can be corrected quickly, with the least inconvenience to all concerned and to avoid enforcement action.

Sometimes work is completed without our knowledge which requires retrospective approval. We will do all we can to help you, but you will need to submit a Regularisation Notice and pay the appropriate fee.   You need to inform us when we can inspect the property, usually within 48 hours and let you know if anything needs to be done for a Regularisation Certificate to be issued. Some parts may need to be opened up for inspection and we will advise you. We will try to keep this to a minimum.
