Book an inspection by our building control team

As your building work progresses, you may need us to come out and inspect the work. It is easy to book an appointment with us.

How to book a building control inspection

We have many ways to book and inspection by our team:

Ensure you include the full site address that you want us to inspect when you text or email.

We do not offer time appointments for our inspections. This allows our staff to visit every development site that has booked an inspection for that day and return to the office to complete the required paperwork.

Charges for inspections where more than 12 months have passed

Where completion inspections are requested more than 12 months after the last inspection there will be an additional charge. This charge can be viewed in the document Cumberland building control ancillary charges .

Council Strategy design

Cumberland Council

On 1 April 2023 local government in Cumbria changed, with Cumberland Council providing all your council services.  

Don't worry though, your bins will be emptied as normal, and you'll still be able to speak to the same team about any enquiries to do with things like council tax, benefits, planning or any other service.

Find out more about the changes.

Keep up to date by finding and following the new council on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
