Frequently Asked Questions
Everything homeowners ask us about planning permission, Building Regulations, pricing, timescales, process and materials before starting a project.
Planning & Regulations
It depends on your property, its location and the scope of the work. Many single-storey extensions and loft conversions fall under Permitted Development Rights and don't need a full planning application, but this isn't automatic: it depends on factors like whether your property is in a conservation area, is a listed building, or has had previous extensions that use up your permitted development allowance. Even where planning permission isn't required, Building Regulations approval is still very likely to be needed. We review your specific property and project during the free consultation and advise on exactly what applications are required before any work is agreed.
Services
We cover home renovations, house extensions, loft conversions, kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, general refurbishments, roofing, brickwork and structural work, landscaping, and general building services. Whatever the scope, one team manages the project from first consultation to final handover.
Pricing
Every home is different, so we don't quote from a price list. After a free site visit, we provide a fixed-price, itemised quotation. The figure you're given is the figure you pay, with any changes agreed and costed in writing before work starts.
Timescales
A bathroom refurbishment typically takes 2–4 weeks, a kitchen renovation 3–6 weeks, and a full extension 10–16 weeks, though every project is scoped individually. You'll receive a detailed programme before work starts, and your project manager will flag anything that could affect the timeline as soon as it comes up.
Process
Fill in the quote request form or call us, and we'll arrange a free, no-obligation site visit and follow up with a fixed-price quotation. There's no pressure to proceed; we want you to feel confident before committing to anything.
Materials
Absolutely. We're happy to work with materials, fittings and finishes you've already chosen, or guide you through options at the design stage if you'd prefer recommendations. Either way, everything is confirmed in the specification before your fixed-price quotation is issued.
