Book An InspectionCovid-19 Restrictions
Due to the national lockdown restrictions in place in England, site inspections will be limited to external works only until further notice. Building Control will still be operational and contactable. Social distancing measures will be required for any inspections carried out and we ask that if you request a site inspection and we are willing to undertake that visit, please remain at a safe proximity from the works we are to inspect and refrain from approaching the Building Control Officer whilst on site.
The Officer will contact you when back in their vehicle to approve or offer advice.
We apologise for the inconvenience and any queries should be addressed to the Building Control Manager, Stuart Kerr, Tel : 01287 612364 Email stuart.kerr@redcar-cleveland.gov.uk.
