About UKBC

Fifteen years of
making the regs make sense.

One of the UK's leading building testing & certification specialists. Based in Hinckley, working UK-wide.

UK Building Compliance is an independent testing and certification practice built around a simple idea: compliance should never be the thing that slows your project down.

We handle the full sweep — air tightness, sound, ventilation, SAP, SBEM, energy statements, asbestos, acoustic design. One provider, one point of contact, fixed prices quoted upfront. Our engineers cover the UK and most tests are booked within the same week.

Hundreds of independent developers trust us with their projects. So do Lidl, Bupa, KFC and M&S.

Our story

From Hinckley outwards, one test at a time.

  1. 2010

    UKBC founded in Hinckley

    A small team of testers setting out to make building compliance straightforward for UK developers and contractors.

  2. 2013

    ATTMA accreditation secured

    Formal accreditation for air tightness testing — the first step in a broader accreditation portfolio that now includes Elmhurst, ANC, Stroma, UKAS and CIBSE.

  3. 2015

    1,000th air test completed

    Steady growth through word-of-mouth. Retail and hospitality clients begin trusting UKBC with multi-site rollouts.

    Service line expanded

    SAP & SBEM calculations, energy statements and the London Plan workflow brought in-house — so clients get everything from one provider.

What we stand for

Five things we won't compromise on.

Every project, every site, every certificate. The shortlist our whole team is measured against.

01

We turn up when we say we will.

Most tests booked within the same week. When a cancellation opens up, we call to fit you in sooner.

02

We make the regs make sense.

No jargon, no ambiguity. You get clear advice on what you need, what you don't, and why — before you commit.

03

Our word is the contract.

Fixed prices quoted upfront. No scope creep, no hidden fees, no surprise invoices at the end.

04

You'll never chase us for an update.

Certificates issued the same working day you pass. Questions answered within one business day.

05

Better advice, not just a lower price.

Our price is the starting point. Included: unlimited re-tests, full diagnostics, sealing advice and video diagnostics if a test fails.
