A competent persons scheme allows approved tradespeople to self‑certify certain types of building work as compliant with building regulations, without needing approval from our building control service:

• we are notified of competent person scheme records and basic details are recorded
• the date displayed against these entries in our database is the date we uploaded the notifications and not the date in which the work was carried out
• we do not check these schemes for compliance with the building regulations - if you require copy certificates please contact the owner of the property or the company that originally carried out the works.
