Southwark Council- Building Control

[clairelg]

Does any one on here have a contact that works in Building control?

Every time I ring the numbers on the council website it either rings out or I get a rather un-helpful and slow response. I have a general question I need answers on but it is holding up a house sale.

I know its cheeky, but any help would be fantastic!!!

Yes. I will PM you later when I return home

You have to catch them early in the morning before they go off on their site visits...and then slope off early home

Thanks, that would be great.

I was hoping to go to the council offices to try to speak to someone directly, but the address is a PO Box number!

You used to be able to go the old offices and just request docs over the counter. Took about 15 minutes (not 15 days).

I was your situation last week, the desperation must have told in my voice because the operator very kindly put me through to the manager of the dept who found the docs on line within one minute and emailed them to me. My request through the ordinary channels never received a response.

If they are based at Tooley Street you have no chance of a meeting, staff are too important now and you cannot just drop in and request a meeting.

There are no meeting rooms like the old system when the drop in system was in place.

That is why you have a POB number and we will reply within 10 days or send a holding reply.

The then libdem leader of the council, and the libdem CEX at the time arranged for council services to be moved to Tooley St and are responsible for all associated problems. Dont believe me - ask Barber and thd ex Tory now libdem RCH.

I'm after a building control sign off document from 1985 (may not exist, we have the planning permission letter from then).

After days of trying I finally got through, but the lady couldn't help as her system didn't go that far back; got an email address but no response.

Can't we go to the one stop shop in Peckham?
