Good to know

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 do not need Planning Permission, but Building Regulations approval is always required. Two-storey extensions usually need Planning Permission. Local authority rules vary, so it's worth checking early.

How long does a loft conversion take?

A basic loft conversion typically takes 8–12 weeks from start to finish. Complex conversions with dormers or structural changes take longer. Bad weather and unforeseen issues can extend timescales.

What is the difference between Planning Permission and Building Regulations?

Planning Permission checks if a project fits the local area and neighbours' impact. Building Regulations check safety, structural integrity, electrics, plumbing and energy efficiency. Most projects need both.

Can old mortar be repaired or does the whole wall need repointing?

Sound mortar can be left alone. Crumbling or missing mortar in small sections can be spot-repaired. Large areas with failing mortar are better fully repointed to prevent water penetration and structural issues.

What happens if asbestos is found during renovation?

Asbestos in good condition can sometimes be left undisturbed and sealed. Damaged or deteriorating asbestos must be removed by a licensed specialist. Do not disturb suspected asbestos yourself.

How deep do foundations need to be?

Foundation depth depends on soil type, water table and building load. Clay and chalk may need 1–1.5 metres. Sandy or unstable soils may need deeper or special solutions. A ground survey determines the correct depth.
