Competent persons register
PWC Building Control Ltd Cancellation Notices
We are receiving a high volume of calls/emails regarding cancellation notices that have been issued by PWC Building Control Ltd. We are currently in the process of sending letters by post/email to the person named on the cancellation notice which is either agent, builder or client with the action required.
It will take some weeks for all the letters to be sent. Unless it is absolutely necessary, please do not contact us as we have limited resource to respond to all telephone enquiries/emails regarding this.
The competent person scheme allows individuals and companies to self-certify that their work complies with the Building Regulations as an alternative to submitting a building regulation application.
An installer registered with a competent person scheme will notify us of the works on your behalf and will issue you with a certificate on completion. The certificate can be used as proof of compliance and will show up on solicitor’s local authority searches if you sell your home.
If you don't use a registered installer you'll have to submit a building notice or full plans application and pay a fee to building control for inspection of the work you've carried out.
More information about competent person schemes can be found at GOV.UK.
