We'll Help You Meet Building Regulations in Larkfield!

New building site in LarkfieldWorking across Kent and the South East, including Larkfield, we specialise in the assessment of newly built and existing premises for Building Regulations Part L1A and L1B.

It is already absolutely essential to have your buildings, whether new or old, assessed by trusted and experienced professionals, but with building regulations relating to energy efficiency, air leakages and air permeability getting stricter by the year, it is now of paramount importance.

Indeed, the current building regulations across Kent and Larkfield are now set so low that innovative and new technologies and designs are required to make sure that the new commercial and domestic dwellings pass.

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

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

  • An evaluation of alternative high energy efficiency systems
