At All Building Control, we specialise in providing Building Control Services London-wide through our status as a Corporate Approved Inspector. Since 2013, we’ve been helping property developers, homeowners, architects, and contractors gain fast, independent, and professional building control approval for projects of every scale.
Whether you’re planning a home extension, converting a property, or developing a multi-storey commercial site, our role is simple: to make sure your build complies with the latest UK Building Regulations—without the delays or limitations of traditional local authority routes.
What Is an Approved Inspector and Why Should You Choose One?
An Approved Inspector is a private sector building control body authorised to undertake the statutory building control function instead of your local authority. Rather than navigating council processes, you work directly with a qualified, independent expert who ensures your plans and work comply with legislation.
This means faster communication, more responsive site visits, and a collaborative rather than combative approach to compliance. All Building Control is not only an Approved Inspector—we are a Registered Building Control Approver (RBCA) and a RICS Chartered and Regulated Practice, giving you complete confidence in our professional standing.
Peace of Mind from Start to Finish
We understand that navigating building regulations can feel daunting—especially if it’s your first major build or renovation.
That’s why we strongly encourage clients to work with quality designers and contractors who use written contracts and offer insurance-backed warranties for their work.
When your team is solid, your build runs more smoothly. And with All Building Control managing the approval process, you’ll have full peace of mind from the initial notice to the final certificate.
A Transparent Service: What’s Included in Our Schedule
Building Control isn’t just about ticking boxes. At All Building Control, we provide a comprehensive service, governed by the Building Act 1984 and current Building Regulations. When you sign up with us, here’s what’s included in our independent building control service:
- We will issue an initial notice to both you and the local authority once we receive your completed agreement.
- Allocating a suitably qualified surveyor or engineer to manage your project.
- Conducting plan checks and reviewing specifications for regulatory compliance.
- Handling all necessary statutory consultations with the Fire Authority and, where needed, the Sewage or Water Authority.
- Providing a plan certificate upon confirmation of compliance.
- Informing you of the inspection regime and required stage notifications in advance.
- Attending your site for compliance visits, offering professional advice to ensure your contractor meets building regulations.
- Issuing a final certificate to both you and the local authority once the works are satisfactorily completed.
This all forms part of a smooth, reliable process with clear documentation at every stage.
What Types of Projects Require Building Control?
Almost all building projects, whether domestic or commercial, require some form of Building Control approval. This applies to both new constructions and alterations that affect a building’s structure, fire safety, drainage, or thermal performance.
Extensions, loft conversions, basement renovations, shop fit-outs, and flat conversions are all typical examples. Even smaller jobs—such as removing a load-bearing wall or installing underfloor heating—may fall under the Building Regulations. That’s why it’s vital to speak with a building control expert early in your project planning. We can clearly outline what’s required, help you stay compliant, and prevent costly rework or enforcement notices.
Why Choose All Building Control?
When you partner with All Building Control, you’re choosing a team that delivers more than approvals. We act as collaborators, not enforcers.

- Offices in both London and Leeds, enabling nationwide coverage
