Can I use LABC or an approved inspector in Merton?

In Merton, you can submit building regulations applications to either Merton Council's in-house Building Control (LABC route) or to a private approved inspector. Both routes produce the same legally-valid completion certificate. We submit to whichever suits your project and builder.

How much do building regulations drawings cost in Merton?

Fixed fees in Merton start at £840 for a straightforward extension or loft. Complex projects (HMOs, basement conversions, flat splits) range £1,500–£2,500. Structural calculations are £350–£1,050 depending on the intervention.

Do I need building regs for a loft conversion in Merton?

Yes — every habitable loft conversion in Merton (and across England) requires Building Regulations approval covering fire escape, floor structure, insulation and staircase. This is independent of whether you also need planning permission.

What's Part L compliance for extensions in Merton?

Part L of the Building Regulations sets minimum energy-efficiency standards — insulation, glazing U-values, air permeability, heating efficiency. New extensions in Merton must meet the 2025 uplift (Future Homes Standard transition). We include full Part L calculations and a compliance statement in every Complete package.

How long does building control take in Merton?

Once submitted, Merton Council Building Control reviews Full Plans within 5–8 weeks. Approved inspectors typically review in 2–4 weeks. On-site inspections run through the build — typically 6–10 visits depending on scope.
