Common questions
General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.
Do I need planning permission for a home extension?
Most single-storey rear extensions up to 4m (or 3m for detached homes) don't need planning permission under permitted development rules, but building regulations approval is always required. Check with the local authority first, as some areas have stricter rules.
How long does a loft conversion typically take?
A straightforward loft conversion usually takes 8 to 12 weeks from start to finish, depending on complexity and the need for structural work. Timescales can extend if roof reinforcement or additional work is needed.
What is building regulations approval and is it different from planning permission?
Building regulations ensure work meets structural and safety standards. Planning permission checks if a project fits with local planning policy. Both may be needed. Building regulations apply to nearly all building work in the UK.
What groundworks are needed before building starts?
Ground needs surveying, clearing of vegetation and debris, levelling and compacting, excavation of foundation trenches to appropriate depth and width, and installation of drainage systems before concrete foundations are poured.
How can I tell if my brickwork is failing?
Signs include crumbling or missing mortar, loose or spalling bricks, damp patches or water staining on interior walls, cracks radiating from mortar joints, and visible movement in the wall.
