Hi All, Just received this today totally out of the blue. It seems to be in direct contravention to part P of the building regs paragraph 1.26 quoted directly below,
“The building control body may choose to carry out the inspection and testing itself, or to contract out some or all of the work to a specialist body which will then carry out the work on its behalf. Building control bodies will carry out the necessary inspection and testing at their expense, not at the householders’ expense.”
I will write a letter to the council pointing this out and definitely will not be paying it. Do you think they're trying it on or just not up to speed with the regs? If they still want the money then who can I then take the case up with? Thanks in advance for any help. Steve.
