Reporting a dangerous building, wall or structure

All buildings, walls or structures which appear to be dangerous should be reported to us as soon as possible. We are responsible for removing any danger they could cause.

  • During office hours - 01282 661727*
  • Out of office hours - 01282 661999

*This number should only be used to report dangerous buildings and structures. 

We respond to all reports 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We try to inspect any building or structure reported as being dangerous within two hours.

If the building or structure could cause potential danger to the safety of people, we take action to remove the danger.

We have legal powers to make the owners of buildings or structures fix any problems.

If necessary, we can ask our contractors to carry out works to make the building or structure safe. We then recover expenses from the owner.
