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 certain size limits don't need planning but may need building control approval. Loft conversions usually do. Rules vary by location, so it's worth checking with the local authority before spending money on designs.

What's the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission is about whether a building project is acceptable to the local area. Building regulations cover structural safety, electrics, plumbing and energy standards. Both may apply, or just one. A surveyor or builder can advise on your specific project.

How long does a loft conversion typically take?

Timescales depend on scope, but a straightforward loft conversion usually takes 8 to 12 weeks from first fix through to final decoration. Structural complexity, delays in inspections or discovering hidden problems can extend this.

What should I do if I notice cracks in my brickwork?

Hairline cracks in mortar joints are normal with age. Wider cracks, or bricks visibly moving, need investigation. A structural survey can establish whether movement is old and stable, or active and requiring repair.

Can I occupy my home during renovation work?

Many homeowners stay put during work, but consider dust, noise, vibration and loss of facilities like kitchens or bathrooms. Discuss phases and timescales with your builder to plan around your household routines.

What makes groundworks important for a new build?

Poor ground preparation leads to foundation problems, uneven settling and cracks. Proper site survey, drainage and stable foundations prevent costly repairs later. It's the invisible but critical base for any building.
