Generally of course it is by 'invitation'. But there are fallback
provisions (in the Public Health Act 1936 in my BCO days) that
enable you to get a magistrate to issue warrant to enter a property
if necessary to do your job. IIRC if access is then denied the
property owner is in contempt of court.
