Maidstone's Experts in All Things Building Regulations Part L

New building site in LondonWorking across Maidstone and Kent, we specialise in the assessment of existing and new buildings for Building Regulations Parts L1A and L1B.

As you may know, it's now vitally important to have your buildings assessed by experienced and dedicated professionals, but with building regulations relating to energy efficiency and air leakages getting stricter year on year, it is now of paramount importance.  

In fact, building regulations across Maidstone and Kent are now set so low that innovative and new designs and technologies are required to make sure that the new dwellings pass.  

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

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