Walk-in Advice
The Council has now adopted a hybrid approach to working for all staff which includes a balance of home and office based working. Our Building Standards Officers may also be out on site inspections or busy in meetings with customers or colleagues. Walk-in advice may be provided without appointment where an officer is free to discuss, however we strongly recommend contacting us to schedule a pre-arranged meeting, video call or telephone call where a customer would like advice from the Building Standards Team. Where no appointment is scheduled, advice will only be provided for walk in visits when a Building Standards Officer is free.
