Can I get building regulations approval if no application was made and the building work has started or even completed?
Building work carried out BEFORE November 1985 Lambeth Building Control cannot issue retrospective approval in this case. The job can be passed by an Approved Inspector. Building work carried out AFTER November 1985 A Regularisation certificate can be issued for work carried out after this date. You will need to fill in an application form and pay the appropriate Regularisation fee. Please contact Building Control to arrange for a surveyor to inspect the work. It may be necessary to uncover some of the work to conduct a proper inspection. Having notified us of the work the owner is obliged to do whatever necessary to ensure it complies with the current legislation. There is no extra fee for the Regularisation certificate.
