Building Control, £400 and no site visit?

[markwm]

Having some re-roofing done, informed building control of the start date and paid my £400 to building control as advised.

Work's half done now, roofers been here for 10 days and not one single visit from the inspector.

Never really dealt with building control before, I would have assumed the £400 covers the cost of the inspector visiting the site and making sure everything is done properly etc etc..... what exactly is my £400 for?

You realise someone has to actually ask them to visit right?

BC would have given you a list of key items they need to view and you should give them a call a good day or so before you cover up those key items..

They are not psychic you need to tell them if you want a visit. They typically have 1000s of live applications.
