Sunderland is about 11 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. Wherever your building is in SR1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
What the law says in Sunderland

Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.
