Despite the latest Covid restrictions we are still supporting our service users and it remains vital that we are notified of all required inspection stages. However, due to reduced staffing in the office our telephone response may be limited. Whenever possible please request inspections by email to [email protected] or using the LABC inspection app that can be downloaded at www.labc.co.uk/homeowners/book-site-inspection
Our Surveyor will then contact you to confirm receipt and make suitable arrangements for your inspection.
