When you’re planning a building project in East Surrey, whether it’s a small home extension, a loft conversion, or a complete new build, you need building inspectors you can trust. Southern Building Control Partnership provides professional, reliable, and friendly building control services that ensure your project meets all necessary regulations whilst keeping the process straightforward and stress-free.
Why Choose Southern Building Control Partnership?
Building regulations might seem complicated, but they exist to keep everyone safe. They ensure that buildings are structurally sound, energy-efficient, accessible, and safe from fire hazards. That’s where we come in. As your local building control specialists, we guide you through every stage of your project, from initial planning right through to completion.
Unlike some building control providers, we believe in clear communication. We explain everything in plain English, so you’re never left confused about what needs to happen next. Our team of experienced inspectors knows the regulations inside out, and we’re here to help you comply with them, not to catch you out.
Comprehensive Building Control Services
Our building inspection services cover every aspect of building control. We work on domestic and commercial projects of all sizes across East Surrey and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling your first extension or a developer managing multiple sites, we provide the same high standard of service.
We conduct thorough inspections at key stages of your build. This typically includes checking the foundations, drainage, structural elements, fire safety measures, and energy efficiency features. Each inspection ensures that the work complies with current building regulations, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment.
Our inspectors don’t just tick boxes. We offer practical advice and solutions when challenges arise. If something isn’t quite right, we’ll explain what needs to change and why, helping you understand the requirements rather than simply issuing notices.
Fast, Efficient Service
Time matters when you’re managing a building project. Delays cost money and create frustration. That’s why our professional building control team commits to prompt responses and efficient service. We understand that builders and contractors work to tight schedules, and we do our best to arrange inspections at times that suit your project timeline.
From your initial enquiry through to issuing your completion certificate, we keep the process moving smoothly. Our administration team handles the paperwork efficiently, and our inspectors arrive on time, conduct thorough checks, and provide clear feedback quickly.
Local Knowledge, National Standards
Operating throughout East Surrey gives us invaluable local knowledge. We understand the types of properties common in the area, from Victorian terraces in Redhill to modern developments in Horley. This familiarity means we can anticipate potential issues and offer relevant advice specific to local building styles and conditions.
However, local knowledge doesn’t mean local standards. We apply building regulations consistently and professionally across all our work, ensuring that every project meets the same high standards regardless of size or location.
Competitive and Transparent Pricing
Building control fees shouldn’t be a mystery. We provide clear, upfront pricing for our services, so you know exactly what to expect. Our fees are competitive, and we believe they represent excellent value when you consider the expertise, service quality, and support you receive throughout your project.
When you contact our building control partnership, we’ll discuss your project and provide a detailed quote. There are no hidden charges or unexpected extras – just honest, transparent pricing.

Our team provides expert building regulation advice tailored to your specific project. We can review your plans before work starts, identifying any potential compliance issues early on. This proactive approach saves time, money, and stress later in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need building control approval for my project?
Most building work requires building control approval, including extensions, loft conversions, new builds, and significant alterations. Some minor works may be exempt, but it’s always worth checking. Give us a call on 0330 024 9355, and we’ll advise you about your specific project.
How long does the building control process take?
The timescale depends on your project’s size and complexity. Simple projects might take a few weeks from application to completion, whilst larger developments can take several months. We process applications promptly and arrange inspections to fit your building schedule.
What happens if my work doesn’t pass inspection?
If something doesn’t comply with building regulations, we’ll explain clearly what needs to change and why. Most issues can be resolved straightforwardly. We’re here to help you achieve compliance, not to create problems.
Can I use my own builder with your building control service?
Absolutely. You can use any builder or contractor you choose. Our building control services work alongside your chosen professionals to ensure the work meets regulations.
What’s the difference between Building Control and Planning Permission?
These are separate processes. Planning permission relates to what you can build and how it looks, controlled by your local council. Building control ensures that how you build it meets safety and construction standards. Many projects need both approvals.
