Building certificate

In the throes of selling our house, we realised that we did not have the final certificate for our extension. Karandeep was very patient and understanding throughout as there were lots of telephone calls and emails between the contractor and architect and lots of misunderstandings. We can't praise Karandeep enough for going above and beyond to make sure we had the final certificate so that we could move.

Hi great service

Hi
Have to say would highly recommend Stroma Building Control with this been the second project completed now with them and would definitely recommend to friends and family
Paul Johntson the building control officer who comes to site for meetings made my whole project stress free working with him from start to finish always on the ball which to be honest is hard to get nowdays I look forward to do business with stroma in the future. Many Thanks John Saunders

Dishonest

Recently I experienced very unprofessional behaviour from company’s London office staff
They can all benefit from having a good communication and customer service
Two building control visits were booked and confirmed yet the inspector failed to attend when I called their office I was advised visits were not booked yet a confirmation of email received
It’s how I was told, they have no manners
Incompetent, dishonest and bunch of cowboys staff, power crazy Jas thinks she’s actually a local authority herself lol she makes me laugh with her little childish brain
Ravinder, i think she’s a coffee girl doesn’t know how to talk on phone, must say she finds it easier to disconnect people from the phone as she does not know anything what goes on there
Charlene is non existent
Bunch of cowboys, not sure how can local authorities can trust them
Wouldn’t recommend them or trust them
One of my friend used them last year and she’s still waiting a building control certificate
Must say they are good and quick at taking money
Ps my experience was bad with their London office only, my review has no impact on their other offices of the company
Maybe they have competent people working in the other offices

Trying to sell our house we realised we didn’t have the final certificate for a conservatory that we added back in 2018. Jonathan Lee went above and beyond in helping us find a workable solution. He’s a huge asset to Stroma and I’m so grateful he answered the phone to me that day. He explained everything clearly and helped me get it sorted. Thank you 🙏

Professional business, superb

Having heard scary stories about council building controls delayed delivery of schedules etc we were advised to try Stroma, Having not heard of them as new to this we decided to try them
From start to finish everything was brilliant, timely, quick turnaround of schedules. Detailed information and progress updated on portal which kept me as the homeowner in touch alongside the builder so I knew everything I needed,
Superb service , professional to the end

I wouldn’t recommend Storma

I wouldn’t recommend , I wished I’d used the local BC instead. I appreciate that they have a job to do, and it’s in your own interest for them to be on the ball. But all they are have found interested in covering them selves. No really advise or common sense being used, instead obtain reports & tests, to cover them. I appreciate that not all of the inspectors maybe like one I have.

Excellent, I've been working with Emin Oz from Stroma Building Control for the last 4 years. He is very professional and always gives the right advice. We will keep using their services again because they are worth it. My clients and builders have always been happy with their services. I would certainly recommend them.

Building Control Certification for our new Supalite conservatory roof

Our chosen Supalite replacement conservatory roof is already factory designed to fully comply with all the current Building Control regulations. The part that needed additional checks/review before the issue of the 'final compliance' certificate was the actual build/installation itself to ensure that the roof has been installed in accordance with the design requirements.
Our chosen 'approved Premium Installer' used Stroma Building Control Ltd to check/review the build stages for this final certification, and we were very impressed with Stroma's efficiency. We were copied their Building Control information sheets as they became available, from their initial involvement on the 24th June, through to the issue of the final certificate on the 1st August. Lewis, in their 'uploading of information' department, had checked and informed me they were just waiting for the final bits of information when I rang in for a status update towards the end of July, and the final approval certificate came through not long after. We're very pleased with our roof and the installation company, and very pleased with the quick turn around by Stroma, certainly far quicker than my previous dealings with Building Control departments directly in the past.
