07 September 2008Various stages of building work will need to be inspected by our officers. We will respond to site inspection requests within 24 hours. Any inspections booked before 10 am may be carried out on that day subject to staffing levels, however we would appreciate as much notice before beginning work (PDF 19kb) as possible in order that our officers can schedule their calls in the most effective and efficient way possible.
If possible please try and give one day's notice before:
