Premier Guarantee Building Control

Building control is the process of ensuring that building work is constructed to meet the requirements of UK building regulations.

This is necessary to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of people in and around buildings, as well as to ensure that buildings are accessible, efficient, and sustainable.

The responsibility for ensuring that building control requirements are met lies with the person carrying out the building work, which is typically the building owner or the contractor.

However, local authorities and Approved Inspectors, such as Premier Guarantee, also play a crucial role in enforcing building control regulations.

Most types of building work require building control approval, including new builds, extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, and changes to the building's layout or structure.

Some minor works, such as replacing windows or doors, may not require approval, but it's always best to check with the local authority or an Approved Inspector to confirm.
