As the name suggests, Quinquennial Inspections have to be carried out every five years and are an important part of the regular maintenance and upkeep of the building. They are arranged by the PCC with their Inspecting Architect.

Quinquennial Inspections Documents
Register of surveyors
The appointment of a Quinquennial Inspector is made by each PCC, and is always of an individual, not a firm. The appointment is for one inspection and report in the first place. It is important that a Quinquennial Inspector's training, accreditation, and experience in building conservation is commensurate with the complexity and significance of the church building(s) in question. Here is a list of surveyors for each area.
