I just wanted to take the time to thank your surveyor Amber Jenkins for all her hard work and assistance. She has been so informative, helpful, available and professional throughout this whole process. Without her help and knowledge, the stress level would have been intense and the project would not have run as smoothly.

M Evans

It makes a real change these days to have helpful personnel who are willing to go the extra mile - in my experience, this is not something that I come across every day, so thank you.

Mr S Crease

It was a pleasure to work with Hertfordshire Building Control’s representatives. I found them to be very helpful, considerate and professional and their support was very much appreciated - for which many thanks.

Mr I Davidson

During these unprecedented times, I wanted to express my appreciation of the success of the partnership scheme in the past and in particular, compliment you on the professional manner in which you conduct matters. It is refreshing to deal with a Building Control Officer who is approachable and operates in an efficient way.
I look forward to working with you in the future on projects which are now starting to become active and am sure our working relationship shall continue to thrive.

Russell Linard

We wanted to thank you for the service you have provided and we are so pleased that you have been a part of our journey. From the wet clay where our foundations were dug up, to checking that we have fire strips in our doors.
We are very grateful for your time, energy, your advice, and how you skillfully problem-solved issues and offer solutions to make our home safe and compliant.

Wishing you all the best with all your other projects.

Mr & Mrs Kerim

George Boyd is literally our hero. We have been searching for a document for weeks that has been holding up our house sale and George was super quick when we got in contact in locating it and sending it over asap! Thank you so much George!!!

Han Krajewski

Steve Morrow at HBC was professional , efficient and quick to help sort out any problems that I encountered. Would highly recommend using HBC for all my building projects as was let down by a private building control company.

Rik Sharma

When we completed our loft extension, I had Ian O’Connor the building regs inspector complete the final inspection. Clearly an experienced employee, having an apprentice join him on site. Both very professional and practical in their final decision. Very grateful despite not being at home when they called, they returned a short while later on the same day. Once I had provided required evidence the completion cert was issued immediately. A very positive experience, and would like to thank Ian for all his advice and guidance.

Noelle Gjongecaj

The Project threw up some underground drainage discrepancies from the initial excavation from the architect, Amber was both attentive and knowledgeable and worked with us to a suggested and an agreed solution, one of the best LABC Inspectors we have worked with, highly recommended.

Eric Knappett

I would like to highlight how good, and fair the pricing is at Hertfordshire Building Control. There's a stigma that council run building control are slow and take ages. My experience couldn't be further from this. Unfortunately for us we had a cowboys start on our project, which took its toll on us. We had to get new builders in and essentially started again. Russell Blackman from HBC, is only what can be described as a living legend. He provided exceptional service in person and over the phone, he was able to provide a thorough information about what needed doing and also gave us insight into some best practice which sometimes our builder needed to be reminded of. I again want to thank Russell again as I'm not sure we would have been able to complete the work to the standard it has been, without his knowledge, patience and overall calm relaxing presence

Mr Sanj

I had recently to employ the services of Hertfordshire Building Control for the construction of a single storey building extension. The whole application process from start to finish I found to be very straightforward. Our Building Inspector, Godfrey, visited the site whenever he was needed by our builders to proceed to the next phase of the work. Godfrey was very pleasant to speak to and only too willing to help liaise with Thames Water re: solutions for the Build Over Agreement and Soakaway to secure their approval to proceed. Godfrey certainly went the extra mile to help us as his clients. Great job, thank you.

Mr Bruce

My husband and I feel so much more reassured that we will be able to get our project moving forward now it's with Herts Building Control.

Mr & Mrs Trinder

I have been working closely with Hertfordshire Building Control from its outset and can confirm it is without doubt the best building control company that I deal with. The entire operation is well run with fast turn around times and knowledgeable staff all the way through from admin to inspectors.

Alan Hawkes – Aria Design Architectural Services

Just a quick line to thank you for your time yesterday at the fire incident in Hitchin. It was really appreciated and gave me confidence that my understanding of the situation and my concerns were justified, whilst providing the reassurance that we needed as a fire service to ensure the ongoing safety of the residents.

Steve Langford – Station Commander – HCC

I wanted to email today to thank you for the speedy and efficient service I received from your department yesterday.

I found it hard to believe that you would be able to come out so quickly. I’ve been able to get such quick and professional advice which will save me money in the long run. Really great service from your team all-around; going that extra mile with a personal friendly touch too!

Mr C Thomas

It has been a real pleasure to deal with Hertfordshire Building Control. Everyone I have spoken to has been friendly, courteous, helpful and have provided a top class service.

Andrew Crossley – A. Crossley

Thank you all. What a service and quick turnaround response. I can see you are all working above and beyond, hours especially.

I would like to say that the dealings we have had with HBC Building Control and especially the support from your surveyor Tsvety, along our journey has been fabulous! It must be tricky managing self-builders who can be novices, although the experience was definitely an enjoyable learning curve. I feel quite keen to do it all again, although my husband is not so sure!

E. Winters

I have to say I am extremely happy with the service I receive from Hertfordshire Building Control. I find all staff very helpful and courteous and never hesitate in recommending Hertfordshire Building Control to my clients.

Richard Chambers – Architech Ltd

We completed our final plots at Bucknalls Lane yesterday and I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for all your help throughout the build here. It has been singularly the most satisfying build process I have been part of. The collaboration and teamwork from all at Hertfordshire Building Control has been incredible.
