Helping Brighton Clients Pass Building Regulations Part L1A and L1B

New building site in BrightonWorking across the whole of Sussex, including Brighton, we specialise in the assessment of existing and newly built premises for Building Regulations Part L1A and L1B.

While it is already absolutely vital to have both new and old buildings assessed by experienced and trusted SAP calculation and air tightness testing professionals, it is even more so now thanks to the new building regulations relating to air leakages, energy efficiency and air permeability.

In fact, the current building regulations across Brighton and Sussex are now set so low that new and innovative designs and technologies are now required to ensure that any new domestic or commercial dwellings pass.

At Tophouse Assessments, we combine full qualifications and certifications with decades of experience and expertise to accurately assess your Brighton building design to the very latest building regulations Part L. We also work closely with architects and designers from the initial stage of the project to ensure the commercial or domestic building complies.

We work across Sussex, including Brighton, so call our qualified and experienced team today on 01634 799115 for free building regulations Part L advice and a no obligation quotation.

  • The target emission rate and fabric energy efficiency for the building
  • An evaluation of alternative high energy efficiency systems
