Stroma Building Control Ltd Reviews 282

My problem related to a build six years ago. Mr. Taylor of Stroma took the trouble to investigate the archives of the building control company that carried out the inspections but was subsequently taken over by Stroma. He resolved the problem very quickly and was personable with me despite having to deal with such an odd and old request. I am a happy and satisfied man.

We were very pleased with the overall service provided by Stroma Building Control. From start to finish, all matters were dealt with quickly and efficiently ensuring a stress free project for us.

What can I say?this amazing company has given me a service 2nd to none amazingly I had a surveyor by the name of Matt Roskilly Who gave me all the time in the world took great care whilst the building was being developed gave me advice and the support. The staff as the office was amazing service. Anytime you call you will be helped. I will definitely recommend this company fantastic service

We used Stroma's Building Control service for our fairly large building project. They worked well with our builders, and everyone at Stroma worked with us was always very helpful and responsive.
Their rates were very competitive too.

Simple and easy to follow and execute. Just some descriptions, measurements and photo's are all that's required.

Our building control officer has been almost completely impossible to reach since the start of the project. I can't believe how much this service costs and yet how shockingly bad the service has been.

Really helpful customer service resolved an outstanding issue from a legacy company.

Decent service from well qualified experts (Mark Ringshall of Stroma) who worked with our team on a commercial project to get over all issues arising.
Thanks

I was very pleased with the service we received from Stroma. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend their services.

The team at Stroma made the worrying process of building regulations a breeze with site visits, email updates and phone calls, all helping to ensure that the project remained within the regs.

I am the executor of a friend who sadly passed away last year. He had carried out a loft extension which had not been signed off at the time of his passing. There were some issues with the work he had done. In dealing with Stroma ( Nicola Reeve and Baldev Bamrah) I was given sound advice as to what was needed. They were experienced, efficient and responsive and a completion certificate was issued.
I was very happy with the service I received

The in depth knowledge, timely responses, clarity, assistance and general guidance of the inspectors helped the works to progress smoothly.

The Building Control manager for my project, which consisted of two semi-detached houses constructed to the Passivhaus standard, was very professional in advising my experienced builder of new regulations and ensuring that these were complied with. The person was willing to discuss potential solutions with the builder, which were then implemented and approved. The need for site visits at critical times were discussed and agreed upon and no delays resulted from delayed visits.

Avoid this Company at all costs! Their incompetence knows no bounds. They claimed to provide professional building control services, but what they delivered was a complete disaster. Not only did they overlook critical safety violations in my construction project, but their lackadaisical approach led to costly delays and headaches. It's evident that their staff lacks the necessary expertise and attention to detail required for such a crucial role. Save yourself the trouble and find a reputable company that actually cares about the integrity of your building project.

I have been passed from pillar to post !

They favourite saying is “it’s out of my hand and with my manger” . The work that the building inspector was supposed to check and make sure the was to building standards is going to cost 10’s of thousands to rectify.

Very professional and prompt and a pleasure to deal with

We chose to go with a private company as we had experienced various inconsistent views by inspector during previous build where each visit was filled with anxiety / fear.

Storma are a dynamic company who have been a rock to us! The staff such as Lauren and Ian are highly skilled and knowledgeable staff who were always willing to help / suggest alternatives when supplies were limited or lead times over 10 months , or dried up due to covid, brexit and Ukrainian crisis.
The staff are very proactive and respond in a timely manner when remedial work was needed and completed. They worked in partnership with us to help us achieve our dream and resolve problems of supply during a crisis period.
The access we had to the inspectors made this project less daunting as we always had an expert to oversee the quality of work undertaken and that it was fit for purpose as it was assessed at each stage of completion by an inspector who was evidence based and in tune with current trends including renewables.
I’m indebted to Lauren and Ian who were my mentor ( Lauren during challenging times ) and kept us sane during a major development. Please note that we are not builders and Storma are impeccable company who deserve a beacon status and their work practices be a blue print for all building control inspectors.
your staff are a credit to you!
Thank you

Professional and helpful getting issues resolved with builder.

Very good professional service, from first engagement until final certificate is issued. They keep you informed and up to date of the process throughout.

I was very happy with the BC team I dealt with from
Stroma and they were very prompt with sight visits
when requested.
Would definitely use again instead of Local authority.

Really helpful team and can very much recommend Stroma. Our surveyor Vikash Ruchaya helped and reassured a lot and made himself available throughout the process. Also gave great advice when we hit some snags along the way in our project. Went above and beyond, thanks very much!
