London Building Control provided the Building Control advice on this unique conversion of a redundant 14m diameter water tank.

Providing a comfortable eco-home using modern and traditional materials and techniques to get the most efficient building possible, inspired by the arts and crafts examples of encouraging the harmonisation of indoor with outdoor life for better overall mental health and general wellbeing for whomever chooses to live there.

Overall, this project has made good use of a redundant industrial structure in greenbelt land. It has been built by local craftsmen with materials sourced locally wherever possible…A real work of heart.

What our clients say

“LBC have taken our eco-build (timber frame, straw infill, steeply sloping site), easily in their stride; we have been impressed by their pertinent questions and immensely helpful ‘can do’ attitude.

“Good attention to detail and a very direct and accessible service.”

“Made the whole process stress free and added value to our finished product. The whole process was made so much easier by the inspector being so helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble. Professional but with the ‘human touch’.

“Very satisfied – gives ideas and saves customers costs; very helpful, competent, keen to advise and a prompt service”

“You’re doing a good job – First Class, a very personal service”

“Thank you for your kindness in helping to resolve problems on our project”

I wanted to leave a review for the CPD that Michael gave us on the Building Safety Act. It was an excellent CPD very informative, thorough and engaging.
