After making a report

Local Authorities have a statutory duty to attend to dangerous structures that present a danger to the public.

In the event of a Dangerous Structure council officers will make all reasonable efforts to contact the owner of the property to request that they make the structure safe. If the officer is unable to make contact with the legal owner of the property they are authorised to take all reasonable actions to make safe the structure, and the authority will look to recover from the owner the expenses incurred.

Charges 2024 to 2025

Camden Building Control's current charge to attend to a Dangerous Structure is £285.09 for calls between 5pm and 9am (out of hours) and £162.18 for calls between 9am and 5pm (within working hours).

There will be additional charges if the on-duty contractor is called out to remove the danger.
