Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Most single-storey extensions and some two-storey work are permitted development under UK building regulations, but boundaries, listed status and conservation areas often require planning permission. Always check with the local planning authority first.
What's the difference between building regulations and planning permission?
Planning permission controls what can be built and where. Building regulations ensure the work is safe, structurally sound and meets fire, insulation and accessibility standards. Both may be required.
How long does a loft conversion typically take?
Simple loft conversions take 8–12 weeks. Complex conversions with structural work, several velux windows or structural beams can take 14–18 weeks depending on size and unforeseen issues.
What causes cracks in brickwork and mortar?
Subsidence, water penetration, freeze–thaw damage, poor original construction, and natural settling of older buildings all cause cracks. Some are cosmetic; others signal deeper structural problems requiring investigation.
Should I get a structural survey before major renovation work?
Yes. A structural survey identifies hidden issues—rot, damp, failed walls, dodgy joists—that will affect timescale, cost and method. It prevents expensive surprises once work starts.
What should happen before groundworks start on a new build?
The site must be surveyed for utilities, drains and services. Environmental checks may be needed. Asbestos surveys are required on demolition sites. A detailed site plan and method statement should be prepared.
