The Service We Offer

The Building Control Service

We have a number of formal partnerships with local agents and developers through the Local Authority Building Control partnership scheme.

For independent, practical guidance on home improvements, building regulations, contracts, working with builders and designers, planning permission and much more visit LABC Front Door.

As a client you can expect:

• A professional, accountable and excellent value service

• The control of dangerous structures
• The control of demolition of buildings in excess of 49.5 cubic metres
