Common questions
General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Most single-storey extensions under 4 metres and two-storey under 3 metres may not need permission if they meet size and boundary rules. However, conservation areas, listed buildings and some locations have stricter rules. A local planning check is always recommended.
What are building regulations and why do they matter?
Building regulations set standards for safety, energy efficiency and structural integrity. Any extension, conversion or renovation must comply. Work must be inspected during construction and certified on completion. Non-compliance can affect insurance and house sales.
How long does a loft conversion typically take?
A standard loft conversion usually takes 8–12 weeks depending on complexity, access, and whether structural work is needed. Delays can occur if inspections reveal unexpected issues or if the roof requires significant reinforcement.
What's the difference between repointing and repairing brickwork?
Repointing removes and replaces the mortar between bricks without disturbing the bricks themselves. Brick repair replaces damaged or eroded bricks. Both protect the structure from water ingress and weather damage.
What happens if groundworks uncover unexpected problems?
If excavation reveals contaminated soil, weak foundations, unmarked utilities or unstable ground, work must stop and the issue must be assessed. Solutions may change the scope, cost and timeline of the project.
Can a new build be started in winter?
Groundworks and foundations can proceed in winter, but adverse weather—frost, flooding, heavy rain—can cause delays and quality issues. Some builders prefer to start groundworks in autumn to reach completion by spring.
